Abstract

This study examines smartphone use among adolescents in Tulungrejo Village, Pare District, Kediri, East Java, as an integral part of their everyday lives, including their daily religious practices, social interactions, and digital engagement. While smartphones facilitate communication, learning, and access to Islamic content, excessive dependence may also trigger problematic internet use (PIU) and diminish users' ability to regulate online behavior. Employing a quantitative correlational design, this study aims to measure the levels of nomophobia and PIU and to examine the relationship between these variables among local adolescents. The research involved 94 respondents aged 15–19 years, selected using the Slovin formula with a 10% margin of error and predetermined inclusion criteria. Data were collected using the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) and the Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale-2 (GPIUS-2), and analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation test. The findings indicate that most respondents exhibited moderate levels of PIU (73.4%) and nomophobia (59.6%). The correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between nomophobia and PIU (p < 0.001, r = 0.595), indicating that higher levels of nomophobia are associated with greater problematic internet use among adolescents. Framed within the perspective of Islam in Everyday Life and Islamic Psychology, these findings demonstrate how digital dependency is embedded in the everyday experiences of Muslim adolescents, shaping the negotiation between digital connectivity, self-regulation, and the enactment of religious values in daily life.
