It is a newly emerging psychiatric disorder among mobile phone users. OBJECTIVE There are no psychometric scales available in China for examining nomophobia, although China has become the largest mobile phone handset consumer market in the world. Therefore, this study aimed to translate the original English version of a psychometric scale into Chinese and further examine its reliability and validity among Chinese college students. METHODS The original version of the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) was first translated into Chinese using the backward and forward translation procedure. An exploratory factor analysis (a principal component analysis plus varimax rotation) and a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed to examine the underlying factor structure of the translated questionnaire. The internal consistency reliability of the scale was determined re were the average number of hours spent on a mobile phone daily and gender. CONCLUSIONS The Chinese version of the NMP-Q exhibited satisfactory psychometric properties. ©Ye Gao, Hongliang Dai, Guizhi Jia, Chunguang Liang, Tong Tong, Zhiyu Zhang, Ruobing Song, Qing Wang, Yue Zhu.
