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.

“…Thus, a similar study in societies with less exposure to cell phones, such as Africa or South America, would be of interest in particular since different socioeconomic classes have been shown to have different levels of ownership and reliance on mobile phone technology [Wesolowski et al (2012); Blumenstock and Eagle (2010)]. It could also be of interest to repeat our study in highly technologically integrated societies, such as South Korea, where research has suggested that mobile phone addiction is especially high, being at twice the rate of the United States (US) [Shin (2014)].…”

The development of mobile phones has largely increased human interactions. Whilst the use of these devices for communication has received significant attention, there has been little analysis of more passive interactions. Through census data on casual social groups, this work suggests a clear pattern of mobile phones being carried in people's hands, without the person using it (that is, not looking at it). Moreover, this study suggests that when individuals join members of the opposite sex there is a clear tendency to stop holding mobile phones whilst walking. Although it is not clear why people hold their phones whilst walking in such large proportions (38% of solitary women, and 31% of solitary men), we highlight several possible explanation for holding the device, including the need to advertise status and affluence, to maintain immediate connection with friends and family, and to mitigate feelings related to anxiety and security.

According to the survey that conducted from the Telegraph (Richmond, 2012), Internet browsing was ranked in the first place for smartphone usages while making a phone call was ranked in the fifth place for smartphone usages.…”

“…Especially, the travel and tourism industry was the one of the industries that has been affected dramatically by mobile technology (Buhalis, 2003;Middleton, Fyall, Morgan & Ranchhod, 2009). The mobile Internet services have renovated the marketing and selling the services of travel service providers, airlines, and other public and private transport companies, and overall hospitality (Shin, 2014). In addition, smartphone applications for tourists and mobile system that generates personalized information or recommendations for travelers are developed (Ahas, Aasa, Roose, Mark, & Silm, 2008;Carlsson & Walden, 2010;Edwards, Blythe, Scott, & Weihong-Guo, 2006;Kenteris, Gavalas, & Economou, 2009;Meng, Poslad, & Wang, 2009;Wan, 2009).…”
