The main purpose of this study was to examine the explanatory power of a predictive model of nomophobia consisting of rumination, fear of missing out (FoMO), mindfulness and non-pathological compulsions. The research involved a cross-sectional design exploring the prevalence of nomophobia in a Romanian university students' cohort. The quantitative methodology was used to collect and analyse the data obtained from all the respondents. Researchers adapted and pretested the questionnaire NMP-Q, before distributing it to 194 university students. SPSS (V. 20) and Hayes's PROCESS tool were used to analyse the data. The findings demonstrated that the above-mentioned psychological variables have a direct and significant relationship with nomophobia. Specifically, within the multidimensional mechanism that explains nomophobia, fear of missing out (FoMO), non-pathological compulsions, and rumination, included in the predictive model in this order, played the most important role, as together cover 34% of nomophobia variance. Furthermore, the fear of missing out has the highest explanatory contribution to nomophobia. The current study gives a better understanding of the dynamics of nomophobia in young people by focusing on psychological factors that play an important role in this phenomenon.
本研究的主要目的是检验一个由反刍思维、错过恐惧（Fear of Missing Out，FoMO）、正念和非病理性强迫组成的手机依赖预测模型的解释能力。该研究采用横断面设计，探索罗马尼亚大学生群体中手机依赖的流行情况。定量方法用于收集和分析所有受访者的数据。研究人员在向 194 名大学生分发问卷之前，对 NMP-Q 问卷进行了改编和预测试。使用 SPSS（V.20）和 Hayes 的 PROCESS 工具对数据进行分析。研究结果表明，上述心理变量与手机依赖有直接且显著的关系。具体而言，在解释手机依赖的多维机制中，按照所包含的顺序，错过恐惧（FoMO）、非病理性强迫和反刍思维对手机依赖的解释作用最大，共解释了 34%的手机依赖变异。此外，错过恐惧对手机依赖的解释作用最大。本研究通过关注在这一现象中起重要作用的心理因素，更好地理解了年轻人中手机依赖的动态。
