This study aimed to: (a) explore differences in the prevalence of nomophobia and smartphone addiction (SA) from pre- to during COVID-19; (b) identify students' self-reported changes in smartphone reliance and screen time during COVID-19; and (c) examine whether self-perceived changes in smartphone usage predicted nomophobia and SA scores.
Scores on the Nomophobia Questionnaire and Smartphone Addiction Scale between two surveys administered at two timepoints were compared: Sample 1 (September 2019-January 2020; = 878) and Sample 2 (May-June 2020; = 258).
No significant differences were found between samples on nomophobia or SA. Nearly all of Sample 2 reported using some type of app , using their smartphone , and perceived smartphone reliance during COVID-19. Increased screen time, smartphone reliance, and social media significantly predicted nomophobia and SA.
COVID-19 does not appear to have exacerbated the prevalence of nomophobia or SA.
本研究旨在：(a) 探讨在 COVID-19 期间，从预到期间，对 nomophobia 和智能手机成瘾 (SA) 的流行率的差异；(b) 确定学生在 COVID-19 期间自我报告的智能手机依赖和屏幕时间的变化；以及 (c) 检查自我感知的智能手机使用变化是否预测 nomophobia 和 SA 得分。
在两个时间点进行的两项调查中比较了 nomophobia 问卷和智能手机成瘾量表的得分：样本 1（2019 年 9 月至 2020 年 1 月；=878）和样本 2（2020 年 5 月至 6 月；=258）。
在 nomophobia 或 SA 方面，两个样本之间没有发现显著差异。几乎所有的样本 2 都报告在 COVID-19 期间使用了某种类型的应用程序、使用了他们的智能手机，并且感知到了智能手机的依赖。屏幕时间、智能手机依赖和社交媒体的增加显著预测了 nomophobia 和 SA。
COVID-19 似乎并没有加剧 nomophobia 或 SA 的流行率。
