Abstract EN

The study aimed to develop a scale to measure Nomophobia of losing a mobile phone among the Jordan universities students, and in order to achieve this objective; it has been constructed a scale of fearing to lose the mobile phone (Nomophobia) for the Jordan universities students, where the scale consists of (40) items, and the scale has been reviewed by a group of arbitrators; where it has been modified a number of items according to their suggestions.

The scale has been administered to a sample of (150) available students from Jadara University and Yarmouk University, and according to the students responses; it has been verified of the validity and reliability of this scale; the internal consistency reliability coefficient has been estimated by the equation of Cronbach's Alpha, and it was (0.81), and the internal consistency reliability coefficients of the five dimensions of the scale ranged between (0.72-0.84), as the dimensions of the scale are : inability to communicate, lose internet connection, inability to access information, give up comfort, lose mobile phone.

Furthermore, the stability reliability was (0.90), and for the scale dimensions ranged between (0.85-0.90).

The results indicated that the correlation coefficients between the score on the scale items, and the score on the domain to which the item belongs and as well the correlation coefficients between the score on the item and the score on the scale as a whole were statistical significance at (α=0.05), and this is an indication to the internal consistency validity of the scale.
