| Abstract (English): |
The aim of the study was to adapt and analyze the psychometric properties of the Nomophobia Questionnaire Scale (NMPQ) in Colombian school-aged adolescents. The study followed an instrumental design with a sample of 441 students aged 9 to 21 years (M = 13.69; SD = 2.63) from a public educational institution in Pasto, Nariño. Content, construct, and concurrent validity were assessed, the latter compared with the Social Networks Addiction Scale (ARS). Factor analysis suggested five factors: Loss of access to information, Affected activities, Digital disconnection, Loss of convenience, and Inability to communicate. The overall internal consistency was a = .93. Positive and significant correlations were found between the total score and all dimensions of the NMPQ and ARS scales. This research is a pioneering contribution to the study and understanding of nomophobia, particularly due to the inclusion of the new dimension "Affected activities," the lack of measurement instruments in Colombia, and their scarcity in Latin America.

El objetivo del estudio fue adaptar y analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la Nomophobic Questionnarie Scale (NMPQ) en adolescentes escolarizados colombianos. El diseño fue instrumental con una muestra de 441 estudiantes de 9 a 21 años (M= 13,69; DE= 2,63) de una institución educativa oficial de Pasto, Nariño. Se analizó la validez de contenido, de constructo y concurrente comparando con la escala de adicción a redes sociales (ARS). El análisis factorial sugirió 5 factores: pérdida de acceso a la información, actividades afectadas, desconexión digital, renuncia a la comodidad y no poder comunicarse. La consistencia interna total fue de a= .93. Se encontraron correlaciones positivas y significativas entre el puntaje total y todas las dimensiones de las escalas NMPQ y ARS. Esta investigación es un aporte pionero para el estudio y comprensión de la Nomofobia, especialmente por la inclusión de la nueva dimensión actividades afectadas, por la ausencia de instrumentos de medida en Colombia y por su escasez en Latinoamérica.
