| Abstract | Korištenje pametnih telefona postalo je sastavni dio suvremenog života, te iako oni donose mnoge prednosti, kao što je povećana produktivnost i olakšana komunikacija na velike udaljenosti, sve više se istražuju i njihovi nedostaci. Osobito među mlađim generacijama, koje odrastaju s pametnim telefonima, primjetne su i fizičke i psihološke posljedice prekomjernog korištenja ovih uređaja. Jedan od takvih problema je nomofobija (No Mobile Phone Phobia), koja se odnosi na strah od gubitka ili nemogućnosti korištenja pametnog telefona. Ova fobija očituje se kroz ponašanja poput učestalog provjeravanja zaslona za obavijesti i držanja mobitela uvijek pri ruci. S obzirom na nekonzistentnost nalaza i neistraženost ovog područja, cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati razlike u nomofobiji s obzirom na spol i status romantične veze te povezanost nomofobije s depresivnosti, anksioznosti, stresom i strategijama kognitivne emocionalne regulacije. U svrhu prikupljanja podataka sastavljen je online upitnik koji je sadržavao Upitnik nomofobije, Skalu depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa i Upitnik kognitivne emocionalne regulacije. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 158 sudionika (103 žene i 51 muškarac) od kojih su 73 bili srednjoškolci, a 85 sudionika studenti. Utvrđeno je da su žene u prosjeku imale veće rezultate na upitniku nomofobije od muškaraca te nije utvrđena razlika u nomofobiji s obzirom na status romantične veze. Korelacijske analize upućuju na značajne povezanosti nomofobije i faktora distresa te strategija kognitivne emocionalne regulacije. Veći rezultat na upitniku nomofobije praćen je većim rezultatima na skali depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa. Nije utvrđena značajna povezanost između nomofobije i strategija kognitivne emocionalne regulacije samookrivljavanja i preusmjeravanja na planiranje, no veće razine nomofobije upućuju na češće korištenje manje adaptivnih strategija kognitivne emocionalne regulacije ruminacije, katastrofiziranja i okrivljavanja drugih, ali i adaptivnih strategija prihvaćanja pozitivnog refokusiranja, pozitivne reprocjene i stavljanja u perspektivu. |
| Abstract (english) | The use of smartphones has become an integral part of modern life, and although they bring many benefits, such as increased productivity and easier communication over long distances, their drawbacks are also being explored more and more. Particularly among the younger generations growing up with smartphones, the physical and psychological consequences of excessive use of these devices are being felt. One such problem is nomophobia (no mobile phone phobia), i.e. the fear of losing the smartphone or not being able to use it. This phobia manifests itself in behaviors such as frequently checking the notification screen and always keeping the cell phone close at hand. Given the inconsistent findings and lack of research in this area, the aim of this study was to examine differences in nomophobia in relation to gender and romantic relationship status, as well as the correlation of nomophobia with depression, anxiety, stress, and cognitive emotion regulation strategies. An online questionnaire was created for data collection, which included the Nomophobia Questionnaire, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. 158 participants took part in the study (103 women and 51 men), including 73 high school students and 85 college students. It was found that, on average, women had higher scores on the nomophobia questionnaire than men, and no difference in nomophobia was found in relation to romantic relationship status. Correlation analyzes indicate significant correlations between nomophobia and stress factors as well as cognitive emotion regulation strategies. A higher score on the nomophobia questionnaire was associated with higher scores on the depression, anxiety and stress scales. No significant relationship was found between nomophobia and the cognitive emotion regulation strategies of self-blame and redirection to planning, but higher nomophobia scores indicate more frequent use of less adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies such as rumination, catastrophizing, and blaming others, but also adaptive strategies such as acceptance, positive reframing, positive reappraisal, and relativization. |
