Abstract
The present study was conducted to determine the causal model of the relationship between attachment styles and nomophobia with the mediating role of the dark triad of personality. The research method was descriptive-correlation and structural equation modeling. The statistical population included undergraduate and graduate students of Gilan University in the academic year of 2023-2022, and 250 of them were selected by convenience sampling method. The data collection tools in the present study are the Short Dark Triad (SD3; Jones & Paulhus, 2014), Attachment Style Scale (AAS; Hazan & Shaver, 1987), and Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q; Yildirim & Correa, 2015). The results showed that the proposed model had a good fit. Also, the findings showed that the secure attachment style has a negative direct effect on nomophobia and avoidant and ambivalent attachment styles and the dark triad of Machiavellism, narcissism, and psychopathy have a direct positive effect on nomophobia (P<0.01). On the other hand, the results showed that attachment styles have an indirect effect on nomophobia through the dark triad of personality (P<0.01). Therefore, it can be concluded that dark personality traits play a mediating role in the relationship between attachment styles and nomophobia.
