This study focused on to examine prevalence of nomophobia among university students; and the relationship among nomophobia, self-esteem, loneliness and selfhappiness with respect to gender and year of study of the university students in Pakistan and Turkey. The study subjects consisted of 729 students 368 (50.5%) of which were from Turkey and 361 (49.5%) from Pakistan. The data were collected by using Nomophobia Scale (NMP-Q), UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS-8), Self-Happiness Scale, and Rosenberg' Self-Esteem Scale by the researchers from Pakistan and Turkey respectively. The relationship and the effect of each psychological structure on nomophobia were examined with multiple linear regression model. The difference across the categories of independent variables on each of the dependent variables (loneliness, selfhappiness, self-esteem and nomophobia) and on linear combination of dependent variables for each country was examined by multivariate MANOVA. According to multivariate effects results, the main effect of gender on self-esteem and nomophobia was statistically significant which indicates that differences between male and female students with respect to self-esteem and nomophobia were significant. The study demonstrated differences between Turkish and Pakistani students' score on nomophobia, loneliness and self-happiness were significant, while difference on selfesteem across countries was not statistically significant.

The purpose of this study is to examine the psychological structure of selfcompassion and to determine the relationship between the sub-dimensions (or factors) of the self-compassion-scale and the contribution of each factor to the construct. Although the selfcompassion scale has been commonly used in the area of psychology, the number of the studies that examine the relationship between the factors (or sub-dimensions) of self-compassion is limited. The contribution of this study is assumed to be substantial since it examines the relationship between the several factors of self-compassion and determines the unique and common contribution of each factor to the self-compassion construct. Method: This study employed a relational survey method. A purposive sampling
