Updated
Abstract
A sample of 409 university students indicates that mobile phone is the strongest predictor of behavior.
- Phubbing behavior involves individuals prioritizing their mobile phones over interpersonal communication.
- Mobile phone, SMS, social media, and internet addictions are identified as key determinants of phubbing.
- The highest correlation with phubbing is associated with mobile phone addiction.
- Other forms of addiction also suggest a dependency that contributes to phubbing behavior.
- Gender, smartphone ownership, and social media membership may moderate the effects of these addictions on phubbing.
