Note(s): Results presented as mean ± standard deviation for continuous data or frequency counts and percentage for categorical data; NMP-Q = Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q); ES = effect size; significant at p < 0.05; ES = effect size for categorical variables, Cramer's V effect sizes were provided, and for continuous variables, Cohen's d. Traffic contravention was a behavior that violated traffic regulations throughout the last four weeks
