Abstract

Introduction: Excessive use of smartphones can be associated with a negative psychological effect known as nomophobia. The present research investigates the structural pattern of the relationship between FOMO syndrome and nomophobia, mediated by parenting stress in Isfahan teenagers.
Method: The study utilized a descriptive-structural-correlational design. The statistical population comprised all adolescents enrolled in the academic year 2021-2022 at Isfahan City's high school. The research sample consisted of 244 students, boys, and girls, who attended the first high school in Isfahan city during the academic year 1402-1401, selected through convenience sampling. The participants completed Yıldırım and Correa's nomophobia scale (2015), Fomo Przybelski et al.'s (2013) scale, and Abidin's (1995) parenting stress short form. The data were analyzed using the SPSS26 and Smart PLS software path analysis methods.
Results: The results of the present study show that FOMO syndrome has a direct and significant relationship with nomophobia. Additionally, the relationship between FOMO syndrome and parenting stress is significant. Conversely, parenting stress has a direct and meaningful relationship with nomophobia, and parenting stress significantly mediates the relationship between FOMO syndrome and nomophobia. (p > 0.05)
Discussion and Conclusion: The results indicate that the structural model depicting the relationship between FOMO syndrome and nomophobia, with parenting stress as a mediator, is a good fit.
