Özet
Objective: We analyzed the nomophobia concept to develop the “Fırat Nomophobia Scale” to determine the level of nomophobia in individuals aged 15–65 years. Design and Measures: A linguistically and psychometrically validated trial form consisting of 13 statements was applied to a sample of 678 individuals (69% women). Results: The “Nomophobia Scale” that we developed consisted of a single dimension and eight items, explicating 55.9% of the variance concerning nomophobia. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the Fırat Nomophobia Scale is an economical scale with a low number of items and high variance. In addition, it provides valid and reliable measurements. Practice Implications: The present study signifies the importance of research on nomophobia and determining the risk groups and protection strategies.
