The main aim of this study was to adapt the Mobile Attachment Questionnaire (MAQ) to Turkish culture. It was also aimed to investigate whether mobile phone attachment (MPA) exists in Turkish university students and whether it has the main characteristics of interpersonal attachment. This study also aimed to investigate the MPA’s relationship with nomophobia, smartphone addiction and materialism, and to examine the predictive power of them on MPA. The study group consisted of a total of 242 university students. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to determine the structural validity of the MAQ-TR. The goodness of fit indices met the model fit requirements for the four-factor 13-item MAQ-TR. Reliability analyses results provided high internal consistency coefficients. Correlation analyses results showed that individuals highly attached to their phones experienced more severe symptoms of nomophobia and smartphone addiction and materialists were more likely to accept their phones as attachment object. Regression analysis showed that nomophobia, smartphone addiction and materialism were significant predictors of MPA. Given that MPA is an understudied concept, this study provides a starting point for future researches on problematic and non-problematic phone use.

本研究的主要目的是使移动附件问卷 (MAQ) 适应土耳其文化。还旨在调查土耳其大学生是否存在手机依恋（MPA），以及它是否具有人际依恋的主要特征。本研究还旨在调查 MPA 与恐惧症、智能手机成瘾和唯物主义的关系，并检验它们对 MPA 的预测能力。该研究组由242名大学生组成。进行探索性和验证性因素分析以确定 MAQ-TR 的结构有效性。拟合优度指数满足四因素 13 项 MAQ-TR 的模型拟合要求。可靠性分析结果提供了较高的内部一致性系数。相关性分析结果表明，高度依恋手机的人会出现更严重的恐惧症和智能手机成瘾症状，而唯物主义者更有可能接受手机作为依恋对象。回归分析表明，恐惧症、智能手机成瘾和物质主义是 MPA 的重要预测因素。鉴于 MPA 是一个未被充分研究的概念，本研究为未来研究有问题和无问题的电话使用提供了一个起点。
