ABSTRACT
This research aims to investigate the moderating role of self-control in the relationship between religiosity and nomophobia among students. A convenient sample of 288 undergraduate students enrolled in this study in 2019. We administered three self-report instruments to collect data, the No Mobile Phone Phobia Questionnaire, religiosity scale, and brief self-control scale. First, we applied Pearson correlation analysis to find out the relationship between the variables. The results showed there was a negative correlation between religiosity and nomophobia, as well as a negative correlation between self-control and nomophobia. Analysis results also point out that there is a positive relationship between religiosity and self-control. Furthermore, moderator analysis indicated that self-control could moderate the relationship between religiosity and nomophobia. These findings underlined the role of self-control as a protective factor when students were prone to nomophobia.
