Nomophobia Questionnaire
The Nomophobia Questionnaire measures 'nomophobia'—the fear of being without one's mobile phone—a contemporary form of technology-related psychological distress emerging with smartphone ubiquity. Developed by Yildirim and Correia (2015), the 20-item NMP-Q captures anxiety, compulsive checking, communication apprehension, and negative perceptions about being unreachable, reflecting the extent to which individuals depend on smartphones for functioning and sense of security.
