Excessive smartphone use among adolescents has increased the risk of psychological problems, including nomophobia, which describes the feeling of anxiety or fear arising from the inability to access or utilize a smartphone. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between impulsive behavior and parenting stress with nomophobia among adolescents in Surabaya. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 384 adolescents aged 13–18 years selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q), Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), and Parenting Stress Scale, then analyzed using Spearman's rho correlation. The findings indicated a significant positive relationship between impulsive behavior and nomophobia (r = 0.225, p < 0.001) as well as between parenting stress and nomophobia (r = 0.148, p = 0.004). Most participants demonstrated moderate levels of impulsive behavior, parenting stress, and nomophobia. These findings indicate that impulsive behavior has a stronger association with nomophobia than parenting stress among adolescents
