“…The four factors of NMP were assessed and a higher mean was found with factor 3 i.e., not being able to access information with a mean score of 27.5±7.38. Similar findings were seen in studies by Dasgupta et al and Gezgin et al 6,12 Students using cell phones for definite purposes such as sharing pictures, playing games, using cellphones for navigation and online educative material were significantly at a lesser risk for being nomophobic. Students as high as 8 out of 10 responded that cellphones are absolutely necessary in academics.…”

“…Gezgin et al and Pavithra et al reported no significant association between year of study (grades of study or academic sessions) and nomophobia which was contrary to the finding of our study. 11,12 This could probably be due to more freedom and less vigilance of parents for the grown up kids and also longer duration of usage of cell phones with increasing age.…”

Background: Nomophobia, stands for “no mobile phone phobia". The tremendous increase in mobile phone usage among youngsters has led to negative impact on their mental health status. Current study aims at finding out the prevalence of nomophobia (mild, moderate, and severe), various health related conditions and independent risk factors of severe nomophobia among medical students of a tertiary care college and Hospital of Central Odisha.Methods: A cross sectional study carried out among 450 students of a medical college of Central Odisha. Simple random sampling was done. Predesigned pretested questionnaire including Nomophobia questionnaire (NMP-Q) was used for data collection. Data was analyzed using SPSS and logistic regression was used to evaluate the independent risk factors of severe nomophobia.Results: Out of 450 students, 246 (54.6%) were boys and rest were girls. Nomohobia was universally present and students suffering from mild, moderate and severe form of nomophobia comprised of 33 (7.3%), 327 (72.7%) and 90 (20%) respectively. Independent risk factors of severe nomophobia were fourth year of study and above (aOR=2.69), use of costly handsets (aOR=4.56), monthly bill of more than rupees 500 for cell phone use (aOR=6.09) and anxiousness of staying updated with news all the time (aOR=4.86).Conclusions: Nomophobia is a highly prevalent condition among the medical students found across age groups, gender and socio-economic status which depends on phone usage. It is recommended that screening and proper counselling should be available in order to decrease the burden and create awareness about nomophobia among the medical students.

“…These result are consistent with Gezgin, Cakir, and Yildirim (2018), who found on a sample of high school students that the higher the level of student's internet addiction, the more nomophobic behaviors they tended to exhibit. Another research study links the mediator effect of mindfulness awareness to the relationship between nomophobia and adjustment levels in college students.…”

Personnel selection constitutes a very important phase of man-power planning of human resource development. Personnel selection methods are designed with the goal of enabling those responsible for selection to attract and evaluate candidate's capabilities on these attributes. S e l e c t i o n r e f e r s t o a p r o c e s s o f m a t c h i n g t h e demands/requirements of job with attributes, abilities and attitudes of candidates. Basic of selection is thus-individual difference selecting the most suitable ones from the available ones. This is done by using a number of scientic techniques. Large numbers of studies are available which show the widespread use of psychological tests in selection of personnel. A validation process is used to assess the extent to which the personnel selection methods provide valid predictors of job performance or other criterion variables. Various psychological tests are highly effective predictors of success. (Hough &Oswald 2000; Salgado& Cooper, 1999).Since earliest researches on personnel selection, assessment of cognitive ability has been one of the major techniques used to discriminate between candidates and to predict subsequent job performance. During the 1980s, several meta-analytic studies of criterion-related validity of c o g n i t i v e a b i l i t y t e s t s p r o d u c e d c o n c l u s i v e results (Schmidt&Hunter, 1998). The research literature on personnel selection methods generally focuses on one specic indicator of validity, the criterion-related validity coefcient. This is given prominence above all other indicators of validity. Clearly, in many ways this emphasis on the extent to which personnel selection procedures can adequately predict work criteria is appropriate. There is plenty of evidence that general cognitive ability is highly relevant in a wide range of jobs(Jensen, 1986) since most of the job requires a baseline of intelligence (Gottfredson, 1986; Ree,Earles,&Teachut, 1994) and also the measures of general cognitive ability represent the best predictors of performance. of the variance in multiple tests of specic ability (Deary, 2007) leaving some variance unaccounted for. ThePersonnel selection refers to a process of matching the demands/requirements of job with attributes, abilities and attitudes of candidates. The objective of the present study was to develop, validate and standardize a cognitive battery for personnel selection. On the basis of review of literature and brain storming session carried out with the experts, pool of items was developed. The cognitive battery assesses 'g' measures uid intelligence, crystallized intelligence, general memory ability, form perception, perceptual speed, cognitive speed and broad retrieval ability. The item content in various tests were developed based on the narrow strata (stratum 1) given by Carroll (1993)in his model. It is a paper pencil group battery comprising 7 tests to measure7 abilities. The items have been developed in coral draw designing. Statistical Analysis was performed using the (S...

“…For this reason, nomophobia is considered as a modern age phobia that is introduced to our lives as a byproduct of the interaction between people and mobile information and communication technologies, especially smartphones (Yildirim & Correia, 2015, p. 130). The increased use of mobile internet results in increased levels of nomophobia (Gezgin, Cakir, & Yildirim, 2017).…”
