Abstract

Attachment style refers to an individual's emotional and behavioral patterns in their relationships with others. It can influence how people use their mobile phones, especially among students who are highly dependent on their devices for communication and social interaction. Such individuals are less likely to use their mobile phones to seek emotional support or validation from others. They are comfortable with themselves and do not feel the need to rely on their phones to boost their self-esteem or cope with negative emotions. Instead, they use their phones in a balanced and purposeful way, such as for organizing their schedule or staying in touch with family and friends. The main objectives of the research is to identify the relationship between the nature of the respondents and their perception towards mobile phone usage and to understand the factors that can affect mobile phone usage among students.500 students were selected at random from the group and used to compile the statistical sample. Convenient sampling technique was used for the study. Future studies could benefit from expanding this model to account for other factors like FOMO, self-control, self-esteem, and the many personality and socio-psychological variables linked to attachment formation in human development.
