Emotional Regulation, Nomophobia and Task Procrastination Among Young Adults

Author(s) Ms. Dharsana S, Ms. Soumya Simon

Abstract Smart phones have largely taken over the lives of people in which they are used for communication, learning, and social connection. The excessive use of such gadgets has led to Nomophobia, the anxiety or fear of being without one's mobile phone. The present study seeks to explore the role of emotional regulation in the relationship between nomophobia and procrastination of the task in young adults. To get the research done, the authors employed a quantitative, correlation research design. The research participants included 341 people aged 18 to 30 years; these persons were university students and working professionals. The participants were given the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q), Emotion Regulation Scale (ERS), and General Procrastination Scale (GPS), through which the main variables were measured. The data analysis method included descriptive statistics, correlation statistics (Pearson's correlation coefficient), and simple linear regression. The findings revealed that emotional regulation was strongly associated with nomophobia (r = 0.276, p < .001) and task procrastination (r = 0.201, p
< .001), and nomophobia was also positively correlated with task procrastination (r = 0.269, p <
.001). Also, regression analyses revealed that emotional regulation could significantly predict both nomophobia and procrastination and that nomophobia could strongly predict task procrastination. This work shows that the use of a cell phone turns into a source of emotional discomfort and young adults who procrastinate are those that have difficulty regulating their emotions. The current study highlights the importance of emotional regulation training and also digital well-being intervention to help develop healthy coping strategies, get more focused, and be productive in the technology-driven environment.
Keywords emotional regulation, nomophobia, task procrastination, young adults, digital well- being.
