“…It was found that there was a significant predictive positive correlation between the personality traits of neuroticism and nomophobia. This finding is consistent with the results of the related studies in the literature (Amiri & Taghinejad, 2022;García-Masip et al, 2023;Kanwal et al, 2023;Kaplan Serin & Derya Ister, 2022;Mehmood et al, 2021;Sun et al, 2024;Uguz & Bacaksiz, 2022). Students can easily connect to the Internet through smartphones and benefit from virtual communication opportunities.…”

Smartphone Big five personality traits University students Smartphone addiction NomophobiaThis study examines the relationship between nomophobia and the Big Five personality traits: extraversion, openness, neuroticism, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Accordingly, the non-experimental correlational methodology was used in this study. In this context, 484 university students were reached using the convenience sampling method. The Nomophobia Scale and the Big Five Inventory were used as data collection instruments. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine whether university students' Big Five personality traits predict their level of nomophobia and subfactors of nomophobia. The results showed that the students were moderately nomophobic. In addition, there was a significant predictive positive correlation between extraversion, openness, neuroticism and nomophobia. According to the results, nomophobia, the fear of losing connectedness, and the fear of being unable to communicate are more common in those with neuroticism. Individuals with high levels of openness and neuroticism are more likely to be afraid of giving up convenience. In addition, more open individuals are more likely to be afraid about not being able to access information. On the other hand, no correlation was found between agreeableness and conscientiousness characteristics and nomophobia. Finally, some recommendations for researchers and practitioners are suggested.

“…Other authors ( 14 ) connect nomophobia with a certain level of discomfort and anxiety caused by the lack of a smartphone. Recent researches proved that nomophobia positively correlates with neuroticism, attachment anxiety and loneliness ( 31 ). There are researchers ( 32 ) that place the nomophobia among the separation anxieties whereby mobile phones users experience a feeling of loss when their device is absent.…”

The main purpose of this study was to examine the explanatory power of a predictive model of nomophobia consisting of rumination, fear of missing out (FoMO), mindfulness and non-pathological compulsions. The research involved a cross-sectional design exploring the prevalence of nomophobia in a Romanian university students’ cohort. The quantitative methodology was used to collect and analyse the data obtained from all the respondents. Researchers adapted and pretested the questionnaire NMP-Q, before distributing it to 194 university students. SPSS (V. 20) and Hayes’s PROCESS tool were used to analyse the data. The findings demonstrated that the above-mentioned psychological variables have a direct and significant relationship with nomophobia. Specifically, within the multidimensional mechanism that explains nomophobia, fear of missing out (FoMO), non-pathological compulsions, and rumination, included in the predictive model in this order, played the most important role, as together cover 34% of nomophobia variance. Furthermore, the fear of missing out has the highest explanatory contribution to nomophobia. The current study gives a better understanding of the dynamics of nomophobia in young people by focusing on psychological factors that play an important role in this phenomenon.

The phenomenon of nomophobia, defined as the anxiety experienced when a person is without their mobile phone or is unable to use it, has been identified as having serious negative effects on individuals, particularly students. Previous research has explored the relationship between personality traits and nomophobia, but the findings have been inconclusive. The main objective of this study was to classify personality types through latent class analysis and explore the relationship between these personality types and nomophobia. The Chinese version of the Nomophobia Scale and the Chinese brief version of the Big Five Personality Inventory were used in this study to survey 1906 Chinese college students. The results indicated that (1) a four‐class model provided the best fit and categorized the personality traits as the overcontrolled class, resilient class, moderate class, and vulnerable class; (2) significant differences were observed between the four personality types and nomophobia, with overcontrolled and resilient personality types consistently scoring significantly lower than moderate and vulnerable personality types. Our finding highlights the key feature of the study.
