Abstract

The study aimed at detecting the level of nomophobia "No Mobile- phone Phobia" among students in Jordan and its impact on the psycho-loneliness. The sample of the study consisted of secondary school students in Jordan Irbid. The study used three Instruments: nomophobia scale, Psychometric Loneliness scale & Interview Instrument. The findings showed that the level of nomophobia through smart phone applications among secondary school students was high. Further, the findings showed statistically significant differences between the averages of the students' estimates on the scale of nomophobia due to the gender variable for females; differences that can be ascribed to specialization in favor of scientific specialization and variable related to the impact of the school in favor of the students of public schools. Moreover, the findings showed a positive relationship between the averages of nomophobia and psycho-loneliness among students.
