Abstract
Nomophobia, which is the fear or anxiety over not being able to access your smartphone, is rapidly growing among young adults, especially students in higher education who heavily use digital devices for both academic and social interactions. The current study was designed to investigate the normalized importance of key demographic factors (age, gender, family system, residential type, average internet use time and family income) on nomophobia in university students. A cross sectional research design was used while data was collected from undergraduate and graduate students with convenient sampling technique. A standardized self-report measure of nomophobia used. Descriptive statistics and neural network analyses were used to examine the more important demographic predictors. The results of the study indicated that family income and age was the more important predictors of nomophobia followed by all other factors. Overall, the findings for university mental health programs and suggestions for research was made.
