... Diferentes pesquisas constataram que o uso indiscriminado e excessivo das tecnologias digitais pode causar dependência acrescida de transtornos emocionais e psicológicos (GARCÍA et al., 2019;KING;NARDI;CARDOSO, 2014;MORILLA et al., 2020;TEIXEIRA;SILVA;SOUSA, 2019). Um deles é denominado como nomofobia, consistindo no medo excessivo de ficar sem acesso ao celular ou sem conexão com a Internet (MORILLA et al., 2020). ...

O objetivo deste estudo é compreender se há relação da nomofobia com as crenças de autoeficácia em estudantes universitários. Foi utilizado o método misto e o estudo foi dividido em duas etapas. Na primeira etapa, por meio de um formulário on-line, foram aplicados dois instrumentos (Escala de Autoeficácia na Formação Superior e Questionário de Nomofobia). Na segunda etapa, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas. De maneira geral, os dados apontam que quanto maior a percepção de crenças de autoeficácia acadêmicas dos estudantes universitários, maior o nível de nomofobia. Essa relação pode ser explicada com o fato de os alunos se sentirem mais capazes de realizar as suas tarefas acadêmicas quando utilizam as tecnologias digitais como suporte, no entanto, o uso excessivo traz consigo prejuízos à aprendizagem. Concluímos que, a partir dos resultados e reflexões apresentadas, sejam possíveis outros entendimentos sobre a percepção que os estudantes têm sobre a sua capacidade de executar as tarefas acadêmicas fazendo uso das tecnologias digitais. Compreendemos que a alta percepção de crenças de autoeficácia não podem ser consideradas uma causa de nomofobia. Contudo, pensamos que este resultado pode contribuir para que sejam feitas conscientização sobre os prejuízos do uso excessivo das tecnologias digitais no processo de aprendizagem.
... In instrument testing and instrument development, several usually carried out stages include conducting direct testing of research instruments according to the concept or conducted by developing instrument items. The questionnaire tested in this study was by carrying out a systematic review that had been developed (López -Torrecillas et al., 2019), which consisted of 11 items covering three dimensions: (a) not being able to communicate, (b) losing connectedness, and (c) not being able to access information. In addition, testing this instrument added a dimension of giving up convenience (Yildirim & Uk, 2014). ...

Nomophobia (the fear of being disconnected from a smartphone) severely impacts social and mental problems in society, so it is essential to measure the nomophobia levels to anticipate more severe problems in society. Even so, the validated nomophobia instrument still needs to be looked at to see how it can be used in the current situation. This study, therefore, aims to assess and develop a valid and reliable nomophobia instrument. This research method used a survey approach conducted on 75 students in West Java. Data analysis to test validity and reliability employed Rasch modeling with Winstep, consisting of 1) item and person reliability validity testing, 2) Wright Map person and item instruments, 3) rating scale analysis, and 4) exploratory analysis factors. Then, to find out the level of nomophobia among college students, descriptive statistical analysis was applied. The analysis results revealed that out of 15 instruments, 11 had the feasibility to be used in measuring the nomophobia construct with four dimensions: 1) the dimension of loss of connectedness, 2) the dimension of giving up convenience, 3) the dimension of inability to communicate, and 4) the dimension of inability to access information. Meanwhile, for instrument answers, the Nomophobia scale score is recommended to be ranked from 1 to 4. Keywords : nomophobia; instrument validity; rasch model.

The research findings revealed that the overuse of mobile technology in teenagers leads to antisociability, technology addiction, and negatively affects their academic performances [6,7]. ...
Artificial intelligence has
become important in the rapid development of the technology field in recent years. It has a very
positive impact on our day-to-day life. Aim: To investigate the relationship between nursing students’
addiction to smart devices and their perceptions of artificial intelligence. Methods: A cross-sectional
design was applied. The data were collected from 697 nursing students over three months at the
College of Nursing, Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University. Results: The correlation test
shows a significant correlation between smart device addiction and the artificial intelligence of the
respondents (p-value < 0.05). In addition, the majority of the students, 72.7% (507), are moderately
addicted to smartphones, 21.8% (152) are highly addicted, and only 5.5% (38) have a low addiction.
Meanwhile, 83.6% (583) of them have high levels of perception of artificial intelligence and the
rest, 16.4% (114), have a moderate level. Conclusions: The nursing students’ perception of artificial
intelligence varies significantly according to their level of addiction to smart device utilization.

... Başka bir tanıma göre nomofobi, cep telefonu kullanmamaktan dolayı hissedilen yersiz bir korkudur ve insanlarda gerginlik, sıkıntı ve endişe eğilimine sebep olmaktadır (Bala & Chaudhary, 2020). Başka türlü ifade etmek gerekirse nomofobi, telefona olan uzaklıktan dolayı bireyde uyumsuzluk ve stres gibi hislerin hâkim olmasıdır (García, Carrión, Rueda, Torres, & Torrecillas, 2019). Dolayısıyla nomofobi "yersiz korkular ve bu korkuların bireyde yarattığı olumsuz psikolojik ve fizyolojik durumlar ile" özdeşleştirilmektedir (Çiçek, 2020, s. 91). ...

Nomophobia is defined as the fear of being out of mobile phone contact and is considered to be a phobia of the modern age. The current study set out to establish the relationship between temperament and personality and the development of nomophobia. The sample was composed of 968 participants selected from the Andalusian population, of which there were 182 males and 785 females aged from 23.19 years. The instruments used were the Questionnaire to Assess Nomophobia (QANIP; Olivencia-Carrión et al., 2018) and the Temperament and Character Inventory Revised (TCI-R; Cloninger et al., 1993). We found that cooperation is a characteristic that significantly reduces nomophobic levels, particularly for the two factors of Mobile Phone Addiction and Negative Consequences. Furthermore, Reward Dependence appears to be positively related to two of the factors involved in nomophobia, namely Mobile Phone Addiction and Loss of Control, suggesting a relationship between Nomophobia and personality. These findings are discussed in terms of their usefulness for identifying the personality predictors of nomophobia in order to develop preventive and intervention strategies.
O uso excessivo das Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDIC) tem causado impactos negativos nas relações cotidianas em âmbito individual e social, interferindo diretamente na saúde mental e agravando o surgimento de novos transtornos psicológicos, especialmente após a pandemia do COVID 19. A busca incessante por estímulos sensoriais e emocionais a partir da utilização excessiva destas tecnologias contribuiu para o desenvolvimento da nomofobia – transtorno de ansiedade classificado como transtorno fóbico-ansioso relacionado ao medo de ficar sem as tecnologias, em especial, sem o acesso à internet e às redes sociais. Para compreender as consequências desta nova realidade, a presente pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo, buscou analisar como a nomofobia e a distração concentrada afetam o ensino e a aprendizagem no Ensino Superior, gerando novos desafios didáticos-pedagógicos para os educadores. A coleta de dados empíricos foi realizada a partir da aplicação de um questionário, com perguntas abertas e fechadas a todos os discentes da Universidade Estadual da Região Tocantina do Maranhão (UEMASUL). Foram obtidas 290 respostas. Os resultados indicam que a atenção dos estudantes é constantemente desviada durante as aulas em função do uso indiscriminado de dispositivos móveis, comprometendo o aprendizado e demandando o desenvolvimento de estratégias metodológicas diversificadas de ensino para minimizar os efeitos em termos da distração concentrada. Assim, o uso excessivo das TDIC durante as aulas interfere significativamente na formação acadêmica, comprometendo a qualidade e a emancipação educacional dos futuros profissionais, o que demanda a realização de novas investigações para identificar possíveis ações acerca da implementação de marcos regulatórios institucionais que possam mitigar as consequências negativas deste contexto.
Background and aims
Nomophobia (NMP) is a contemporary digital ailment referring to the improper utilization of smartphones which can have significant impacts on the physical and mental health of college students. However, as a result of unclear cutoff points, the proportion of people with NMP may be exaggerated. This study therefore aimed to determine the critical value of NMP and assess the extent to which Chinese college students are impacted by NMP using the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q).
Methods
Latent profile analysis (LPA) and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were combined to determine the critical value based on NMP-Q scores using a large sample of 3,998 college students ( M age = 20.58; SD = 1.87).
Results
Based on latent profile (i.e., at-risk NMP group), ROC revealed an optimal cut-off point of 73 (Sensitivity = 0.965, Specificity = 0.970, Accuracy = 0.968, AUC = 99.60%, Youden's index = 0.935), and the percentage of NMP students being 28.04%, with 1,121 participants identified as positive cases (probable cases). Positive cases were found to exhibit more severe depression and anxiety symptoms, with a higher proportion of females were observed in the positive group ( N = 829; 73.95%).
Conclusions
These findings provide evidence that the proportion of NMP individuals may have been overestimated in the past. Furthermore, this study helps to validate the NMP-Q as a valid tool to identify NMP in college-aged individuals.
This paper presents the results of a study on factors influencing children’s life satisfaction. Participants are 1270 students aged from 8 to 12 in Hanoi, Bac Giang, and Thai Nguyen. The research instrument is a part of the questionnaire in the research project “Subjective Well-being of Vietnamese children”, funded by the Vietnam National Foundation for Science and Technology Development. The research results have shown that children have higher life satisfaction when their family is harmonious; their parents, teachers and friends respect and support them when they have difficulties; their living area is safe; and children have time to participate in activities related to playing, entertaining, and helping family. Family is the most influential factor in the life satisfaction of children. The results also indicate a positive correlation between the aforementioned factors and children’s life satisfaction. The research findings are expected to help raise awareness of parents, teachers, and adults in general about the factors influencing children's life satisfaction.
