The fear of being without a mobile phone, known as nomophobia, is a new psychological issue that has arisen with the widespread use of information and communication technologies. To understand this phenomenon, more research is needed. The present study aimed to assess the factor structure of the Moroccan dialect version of the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) among a sample of Moroccan university students. The study included 400 students selected by convenience sampling from two universities (Fez and Rabat). First, an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted using the principal component method with Varimax rotation. Then, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM) were carried out. The results showed that a 20-item, four-factor model was the best fit for the data collected from the sample, indicating cross-cultural validity and the robustness of the NMP-Q's structure. This suggests that the Moroccan version of the NMP-Q is useful for assessing nomophobia behavior among Moroccan university students.
对没有手机的恐惧，即无手机恐惧症，是随着信息和通信技术的广泛使用而出现的一个新的心理问题。为了理解这一现象，还需要更多的研究。本研究旨在评估摩洛哥大学生样本中摩洛哥方言版无手机恐惧症问卷（NMP-Q）的因素结构。该研究包括通过便利抽样从两所大学（非斯和拉巴特）选取的400名学生。首先，使用主成分法和方差最大化旋转进行探索性因素分析（EFA）。然后，进行验证性因素分析（CFA）和探索性结构方程建模（ESEM）。结果表明，一个包含20个条目的四因素模型最适合从样本中收集的数据，这表明了NMP-Q结构的跨文化有效性和稳健性。这表明摩洛哥版的NMP-Q对于评估摩洛哥大学生的无手机恐惧症行为是有用的。
