Özet:

This study aims to study teachers' fear of mobile phone absence (Nomofobia) and developments of fear of deception (FoMO) based on various variables. In the framework of the research, data were collected from 685 teachers who worked in a province in the Anatolian region in the 2016-2017 educational year and are smart phones. In the collection of data, two different scales have been used, Przybylski, Murayama, DeHaan and Gladwell (2013) developed, with the Scale of Fear of Fighting and the Scale of Nomofobia developed by Correia (2015) and the Scale of Fear of Fighting. Independent groups used t-test, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) and multi-way variance analysis (MANOVA) methods to study participants' nomofobia and FoMO levels according to various variants. Regression analysis has also been conducted to identify the gap between nomofobia and FoMO. According to the results obtained, there is a positive linear relationship between nomofobia and FoMO. The scores that participants obtain from the scale of nomofobia vary according to age, industry and time of use of the device, while the gender, graduation levels, and the institution in charge did not vary. The scores that participants receive from the FoMO scale vary according to gender, age, branch, graduation levels, the institution and time of use of the device. It has also been shown that the nomofobia and FoMO levels differ significantly according to the time of social networking, and that the difference is significant between those who use social networking for less time (1 hour or less) and those who use social networking for more time (1-3 hours, 4 hours or more).
