While existing theories suggest that smartphones often serve as tools for emotional regulation, the situational mechanisms driving these compensatory behaviors remain under-explored. This study investigated how nomophobia levels interact with daily emotional fluctuations and busyness to influence smartphone-based coping patterns. Methods: We employed an intensive longitudinal approach combining objective smartphone tracking with a 4-week daily diary design. Thirty-seven participants were monitored, yielding 837 daily observations. Smartphone use was categorized into Instant Messaging (IM), Social Media Use (SMU), and Non-social Use (NSU). Multilevel linear regression analyzed the interaction effects on usage metrics. Results: Nomophobia significantly correlated with the duration and frequency of SMU, but not IM or NSU. A significant three-way interaction was observed: individuals with high levels of nomophobia exhibited a significantly increased frequency of overall usage, SMU and NSU when experiencing negative emotions during periods of low busyness. In contrast, low-nomophobia individuals maintained stable usage patterns regardless of situational stressors. Conclusions: By conceptualizing smartphone usage as a behavioral proxy for the coping process, this study provides preliminary evidence that nomophobia is associated with a situation-dependent coping pattern, primarily involving increased social media usage. These findings underscore the importance of integrating situational contexts and underlying coping processes to better understand and manage problematic smartphone use.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/healthcare14091125","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,23]],"date-time":"2026-04-23T08:11:14Z","timestamp":1776931874000},"page":"1125","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Escape into Social Media?
