Abstract

The high dependency on devices in the digital era has triggered the phenomenon of nomophobia, posing a serious challenge to the mental health of individuals during emerging adulthood. This condition is crucial to investigate because, during this uncertain developmental transition, individuals often become trapped in using technology as an escape from emotional instability. This study aims to analyze the roles of depression, anxiety, and stress on nomophobia among individuals aged 18–29 years. A quantitative correlational research method was employed, involving 234 respondents selected through purposive sampling, with criteria including being 18–29 years old and an active device user. Data were collected using the DASS-21 and NMP-Q scales, then analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that depression, anxiety, and stress simultaneously contribute significantly (23.7%) to nomophobia. Partially, stress emerged as the most dominant factor with an effective contribution of 11.97%, followed by anxiety at 9.54% and depression at 2.16%. In conclusion, the stress variable has the strongest influence as individuals in this phase tend to utilize smartphones as a primary coping strategy to deal with life pressures.
