Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has accentuated the need to investigate the interface between technology and education. The present research seeks to contribute in this direction, by investigating the impacts of nomophobia (i.e. technology addiction) on the subjective well-being of university students. Fifty-five students from a public university participated in the research. In general, a small number of students classified as nomophobic was identified. In addition, it was found that a high availability of internet use favors the presence of positive affects in students. However, the impossibility of using the technology did not contribute to higher rates of negative affect in the present sample. Taken together, the results indicate that, for a sample of predominantly non-nomophobic people, the availability of technology use is positive for students. However, its unavailability does not seem to be a problem for well-being.
