Anksiyete ve Yalnızlığın Durumsal Nomofobi Üzerindeki Etkisinin Deneyim Örnekleme Yöntemi Kullanılarak Araştırılması.

This study was conducted to investigate how university students experience nomophobia in daily life (state nomophobia), and how their trait-based characteristics and temporal characteristics impact nomophobia. The initial aim was to investigate whether state)based psychological constructs (anxiety and loneliness) and trait-based psychological constructs (nomophobia, anxiety, loneliness) predict state nomophobia. The second aim was to investigate whether state nomophobia scores were higher on weekdays than on weekends, and to investigate the effect of being nomophobic on this relationship. In this study, two groups were created (non-nomophobic/nomophobic) (N= 40) and the experience sampling method was used. Data were collected with standard measurement tools and momentary assessments via the PIEL Survey smartphone application. For the analysis, hierarchical linear modelling was performed. The findings showed that state anxiety, trait anxiety, and trait loneliness significantly predicted state nomophobia. However, state loneliness failed to predict state nomophobia. The difference between weekend state nomophobia scores and weekday scores was not statistically significant. However, the effect of being nomophobic was significant, indicating that nomophobic individuals experience more intense state nomophobia symptoms at weekends than non-nomophobic individuals. The findings suggest that momentary assessments should be used to make inferences about the causes of state nomophobia experienced in daily life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
