Smartphones have become an integral part of modern life in a technological age, and likewise stirs mixed emotions
among people. However, technology’s influence is only increasing as it becomes evermore advanced, and has
youth in particular wrapped around its finger. One such consequence of this is nomophobia. Nomophobia can be
defined as the irrational fear of being without your mobile phone or being unable to use your phone for any given
reason. This fear of the absence of one’s phone can cause numerous physical and psychological issues. This study
aims to examine nomophobia among primary school teacher candidates in terms of different factors. It was looked
at whether or not the severity/degree of this condition differed by gender, academic year, grade point average, how
long students had a mobile phone, how long students talked over phone and how long students used the internet
for 260 teacher candidates an anonymous state university participated as the sample in the study, which was
performed based on the general survey model. Data was collected using the Nomophobia Scale (NMP-Q)
developed by Yildirim and Correia (2015), and adapted into Turkish by Yildirim, Sumuer, Adnan, and Yildirim
(2016). The scale contains 20 items, each of which were scaled between 1 and 7, 1 being “I strongly disagree” and
7 being “I strongly agree”. SPSS was used to analyze the data with the goal of seeing whether or not there was any
