Bu çalışmanın amacı, bireylerin nomofobi düzeylerini belirlemek ve nomofobi ile demografik değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırma, farklı yaş grupları, cinsiyetler, eğitim düzeyleri ve sosyoekonomik statülerden katılımcıları kapsayan genel bir popülasyonu hedeflemektedir. Veriler, İstanbul ilinden katılımcılara uygulanan anketler aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Toplanan veriler SMART PLS 3.0 programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, örneklemdeki akıllı telefon kullanıcıları arasında sosyal kullanımın faydacıl motivasyon ve hazsal motivasyon üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi olmadığını, ancak sosyal motivasyonun sosyal kullanımı olumlu yönde etkilediğini ortaya koymuştur. Faydacıl motivasyon ve sosyal motivasyonun işlevsel kullanımı olumlu etkilediği, ancak hazsal motivasyonun etkisinin olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır. İşlevsel kullanımın daha düşük bir nomofobi düzeyi ile ilişkili olduğu, sosyal kullanımın ise nomofobi üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin olmadığı görülmüştür. Kadınların erkeklere göre daha yüksek nomofobi düzeyine sahip oldukları, nomofobinin genç bireyler arasında daha yaygın olduğu ve günlük akıllı telefon kullanım süresi arttıkça nomofobi düzeyinin de arttığı belirlenmiştir

BEHAVIORAL ANTECEDENTS OF NOMOPHOBIA: INSIGHTS FROM A STUDY ON SMARTPHONE USERS IN TURKEY

Öz

The aim of this study is to determine individuals' levels of nomophobia and to examine the relationship between nomophobia and demographic variables. The research targets a general population, encompassing participants from different age groups, genders, educational backgrounds, and socioeconomic statuses. Data were collected through surveys administered to participants from Istanbul. The collected data were analyzed using the SMART PLS 3.0 program. The findings revealed that among the sampled smartphone users, social usage had no positive impact on utilitarian motivation and hedonic motivation, while social motivation positively influenced social usage. It was inferred that utilitarian motivation and social motivation positively affected functional usage, whereas hedonic motivation did not. Functional usage was associated with lower levels of nomophobia, while social usage did not have a significant impact on nomophobia. The analysis also revealed that female participants exhibited higher levels of nomophobia compared to males, that nomophobia was more prevalent among younger individuals, and that nomophobia levels increased with daily smartphone usage.
