The phenomenon of nomophobia, defined as the anxiety experienced when a person is without their mobile phone or is unable to use it, has been identified as having serious negative effects on individuals, particularly students. Previous research has explored the relationship between personality traits and nomophobia, but the findings have been inconclusive. The main objective of this study was to classify personality types through latent class analysis and explore the relationship between these personality types and nomophobia. The Chinese version of the Nomophobia Scale and the Chinese brief version of the Big Five Personality Inventory were used in this study to survey 1906 Chinese college students. The results indicated that (1) a four-class model provided the best fit and categorized the personality traits as the overcontrolled class, resilient class, moderate class, and vulnerable class; (2) significant differences were observed between the four personality types and nomophobia, with overcontrolled and resilient personality types consistently scoring significantly lower than moderate and vulnerable personality types. Our finding highlights the key feature of the study.
“手机依赖症”现象被定义为当一个人没有手机或无法使用手机时所产生的焦虑，这种现象已被确定对个人，特别是学生，有严重的负面影响。先前的研究探讨了人格特质与手机依赖症之间的关系，但结果尚无定论。本研究的主要目的是通过潜在类别分析对人格类型进行分类，并探讨这些人格类型与手机依赖症之间的关系。本研究使用了中文版手机依赖量表和中文简版大五人格量表对 1906 名中国大学生进行了调查。结果表明：（1）四类模型提供了最佳拟合，并将人格特质分为过控型、坚韧型、适度型和脆弱型；（2）四种人格类型与手机依赖症存在显著差异，过控型和坚韧型人格类型的得分显著低于适度型和脆弱型人格类型。我们的发现突出了研究的关键特征。
