Nomophobia is a situational phobia leading to a deep, irrational, and disproportionate fear of not being able to use the smartphone. An instrumental study on the Spanish version of the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) was carried out. The objectives were: 1) To analyse its factor structure and reliability; 2) to test for the invariance of sex and age groups, and 3) to obtain specific cut-off points by sex and age non-existent to date. Sampling was incidental and non-probabilistic with 5012 participants (57.9%, females) aged 12-24 years (M = 18.04, SD = 3.3). The confirmatory factor analysis revealed a hierarchical model with four correlated factors explained by a general second-order factor. The internal validity and reliability values of the NMP-Q dimensions are satisfactory, ranging between .78, .85, .86, and .92 (Omega w). A multigroup analysis confirmed the invariance across sex and age groups. Building on the NMP-Q scores, we calculated 3 cut-off points using percentiles 15th, 80th and 95th (unnomophobic, at risk of nomophobia, and nomophobic). Females aged 12-15 years had the highest nomophobic scores. We can conclude that the proposed sex and age cut-off points will allow us to better identify nomophobic problems from a clinical point of view.
手机恐惧症是一种情境性恐惧症，导致人们对无法使用智能手机产生深深的、不合理的、过度的恐惧。对西班牙语版手机恐惧症问卷（NMP-Q）进行了一项工具研究。目的是：1）分析其因素结构和可靠性；2）检验性别和年龄组的不变性；3）获得目前不存在的特定性别和年龄的截断值。抽样是偶然的和非概率的，共有 5012 名参与者（57.9%为女性），年龄在 12-24 岁之间（M = 18.04，SD = 3.3）。验证性因素分析显示，一个具有四个相关因素的层次模型由一个一般的二阶因素来解释。NMP-Q 维度的内部有效性和可靠性值令人满意，范围在.78、.85、.86 和.92（Omega w）之间。多组分析证实了性别和年龄组之间的不变性。基于 NMP-Q 得分，我们使用第 15、80 和 95 个百分位数计算了 3 个截断值（无手机恐惧症、有手机恐惧症风险和手机恐惧症）。12-15 岁的女性手机恐惧症得分最高。我们可以得出结论，提出的性别和年龄截断值将使我们能够从临床角度更好地识别手机恐惧症问题。
