“…This study also supports the findings of research (Hinsch & Sheldon, 2013), which found that internet addicted students' life satisfaction increases because of reducing their internet use. There are also studies in the literature that show that there is no relationship between digital addiction and life satisfaction (Çat et al, 2021;Çırak & Dost, 2022;Himmetoğlu & Ayhan, 2021;Lepp et al, 2014;Samaha & Hawi, 2016), or that there is a positive relationship between them (Pittman & Reich, 2016;Srivastava, 2015;Taşlıyan et al, 2018), unlike the current study. Many factors affect the results of the research: the purpose of the research, the characteristics of the research group, the measurement tools used in the research, the analysis methods, etc.…”

“…Although there are other studies in the literature that reveal the negative relationship between life satisfaction and types of digital addiction (smartphone addiction, internet addiction, social media addiction, etc.) (Ergün & Meriç, 2020;Göldağ, 2019;Narci, 2022;Sahin, 2017;Verduyn, Ybarra, Résibois, Jonides, & Kross, 2017;Yang et al, 2019;Yukay Yüksel, Çini, &Yasak, 2020), there are also studies showing that there is no direct relationship between them (Çat, Koçak, & Toprak, 2021;Çırak & Dost, 2022;Himmetoğlu & Ayhan, 2021;Lepp, Barkley & Karpinski, 2014;Samaha & Hawi, 2016). For example, Samaha and Hawi (2016) found that smartphone addiction does not directly affect life satisfaction, however, smartphone addiction has an indirect effect on life satisfaction by increasing students' stress and reducing their academic performance.…”

In this study, the mediating role of digital addiction in the relationship between academic motivation and life satisfaction was examined. The present study was quantitative in nature and correlational design was used. The data were collected through Google Forms. 191 university students selected by convenience sampling method participated in the study. Personal Information Form, Academic Motivation Scale, Digital Addiction Scale and Life Satisfaction Scale were used to collect data. Statistical analyses were carried out in two stages. First, the means, standard deviations, skewness and kurtosis coefficients of the variables and correlation coefficients between the variables were calculated. In the second stage, it was examined whether digital addiction plays a mediating role in the relationship between academic motivation and life satisfaction. The PROCESS macro model 4 was used to examine this role. In the analyses made to examine the mediation of digital addiction, 5000 resampling options were preferred with the bootstrap technique. The study has revealed that there is a positive direct and significant relationship between the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation sub-dimensions of academic motivation and life satisfaction, and a negative direct relationship between amotivation sub-dimension and life satisfaction. In addition, there is a negative direct relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and digital addiction, and a positive direct relationship exists between amotivation and digital addiction. In addition to these results, the study also revealed that digital addiction negatively predicted life satisfaction. These results suggest that digital addiction has a partial mediation effect on the relationship between academic motivation and life satisfaction. Findings were discussed based on the literature and recommendations were made accordingly.

“…Nomophobia, also known as "no-mobile-phobia," is by definition the anxiety and fear experienced by a person when unable to reach or use their mobile device [5]. Individuals have their phones switched on throughout the day and might even take it to bed with them, due to the persistent fear that they will not have access to the messages that will keep them updated about the recent events and experiences delivered through social media [1].…”

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Correlation Coefficients between Nomophobia and Anxiety, Smartphone Addiction, and Insomnia Symptoms

et al. 2023

Nomophobia is an emerging phenomenon in the 21st century. Consequently, it results in various health problems, both physical and psychological. The following systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to establish the relationship between nomophobia with anxiety, smartphone addiction, and insomnia. To identify the relevant studies, we searched through several databases. Out of the 1523 studies identified, 16 studies met the inclusion criteria. After conducting the statistical analysis, the results revealed that anxiety r = 0.31 (95% CI: 0.25 to 0.38), smartphone addiction r = 0.39 (95% CI: 0.04 to 0.75), and insomnia r = 0.56 (95% CI: 0.38 to 0.75) are positively associated with nomophobia. Mobile phone usage has become inevitable, even for individuals who use it to a lesser degree than others, to perform simple tasks, such as communicating with others or for educational purposes. It is crucial to raise awareness about the consequences of overusing these devices, including the physical and psychological complications in both the short and long terms.

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Nomophobia and explore its connections with demographic variables and Religiosity, Spiritual Intelligence, Meaningfulness, and Satisfaction with Life, among undergraduate students in Ghana. The study employed a web-based cross-sectional survey design, encompassing n = 596 university students in Ghana. The results of this study demonstrated a significant negative nexus between students' Nomophobia, Religiosity, Spiritual Intelligence, and Meaningfulness (p < .05). Satisfaction with Life exhibited a positive correlation with Nomophobia. Furthermore, all the predictors collectively accounted for 76.6% of the total variance in Nomophobia, highlighting their substantial influence. Religion emerged as the most significant variable associated with Nomophobia. The study implies that promoting Religiosity, Spiritual Intelligence, and Meaningfulness can reduce Nomophobia in Ghanaian university students. It also stresses the importance of boosting overall student satisfaction and incorporating religious and spiritual aspects in Nomophobia interventions.
