Estudos sugerem que a nomofobia está relacionada com a baixa autoestima e com a prática de comportamentos autolesivos. Neste estudo pretendemos explorar essa relação em adultos emergentes, uma vez que existem poucos estudos acerca desta relação. Exploraremos também as diferenças nos níveis de nomofobia em função do sexo, escolaridade, prática de atividades de lazer e estar numa relação amorosa. A amostra foi composta por 86 indivíduos entre 18 e 20 anos (M = 19.03, DP = 0.80), que preencheram um questionário sociodemográfico e de estilo de vida, o Nomophobia Questionnaire to European Portuguese, a subescala de Auto-dano do Questionário de Impulsividade, Auto-dano e Ideação Suicida para Adolescentes e a Escala de Auto-estima de Rosenberg. Foi obtido um nível moderado de nomofobia (M = 72.57, DP = 26.89), com a dimensão “Não ser capaz de comunicar” a apresentar a média mais elevada. Nos comportamentos autolesivos, a média obtida foi 3.33 (DP = 6.43), sendo o máximo teórico 42. Por fim, na autoestima, o valor médio obtido foi 19.22 (DP = 6.20), tendo em conta um máximo teórico 30. O sexo feminino apresentou níveis mais elevados de nomofobia. A nomofobia apresentou uma correlação negativa com a autoestima e esta, por sua vez, uma correlação negativa com os comportamentos autolesivos. Das variáveis sociodemográficas e de estilo de vida, apenas encontramos diferenças nos níveis de nomofobia em pessoas que praticam atividades de lazer, tendo estas níveis mais baixos de nomofobia. Futuramente, importa reproduzir este estudo com amostras de outros contextos e faixas etárias
Studies suggest that nomophobia is related to low self-esteem and the practice of selfinjurious behaviors. In this study we explore this relationship in emerging adults, since there are few studies on this relationship. We will also explore the differences in levels of nomophobia depending on gender, education, leisure activities and being in a romantic relationship. The sample is composed by 86 individuals aged between 18 and 20 years old (M = 19.03, SD = 0.80), who completed a sociodemographic and lifestyle questionnaire, the Nomophobia Questionnaire to European Portuguese, the Impulse, Self-harm and Suicide Ideation Questionnaire for Adolescents and the Rosenberg Selfesteem Scale. A moderate level of nomophobia was obtained (M = 72.57, SD = 26.89), with the dimension “Not being able to communicate” presenting a higher mean. In selfinjurious behaviors, the mean obtained was 3.33 (SD = 6.43), with the theoretical maximum being 42. Finally, in self-esteem, the mean value obtained was 19.22 (SD = 6.20), taking into account a theoretical maximum of 30. Females showed higher levels of nomophobia. Nomophobia presented a negative correlation with self-esteem and this, in turn, a negative correlation with self-injurious behaviors. Of the sociodemographic and lifestyle variables, we only found differences in the levels of nomophobia in people who practice leisure activities, with these having lower levels of nomophobia. In the future, it is important to reproduce this study with samples from other contexts and age groups.
