“…This behaviour can negatively impact social interactions (Vanden Abeele et al, 2019;Vanden Abeele & Postma-Nilsenova, 2018). There has been considerable interest in the effects of phubbing in private settings such as romantic relationships (Bröning & Wartberg, 2022;David & Roberts, 2021, 2021Frackowiak et al, 2022) and parent-child relationships (Lemish et al, 2020;Meeus et al, 2021;Wolfers et al, 2020;Xie et al, 2023). However, hardly any attention has been given to phubbing in the workplace.…”

Phubbing (i.e. ignoring someone while using a phone) may occur at work, having an impact on the phubbee, the phubber and the organization at large. We used a mixed method experiment to examine the impact of phubbing on different work-related variables such as objective performance, extra-role behaviour, subjective states, and first impression judgements during job interviews. Ninety-three participants took part in a simulated job interview based on the Trier Social Stress Test. In the experimental group, participants were repeatedly phubbed during both the interview and a subsequent performance test. At the end of the experiment, phubbed participants were asked to describe their experience and thematic analysis was used to evaluate their responses. Overall, results of the quantitative analysis revealed that first impressions, judgements and subjective states were negatively affected by phubbing. Regarding performance, a within-session analysis revealed that participants performed faster on a performance test (mental arithmetic task) when they were not phubbed compared to when they were phubbed. No effect of phubbing was found on extra-role behaviour. A qualitative analysis of responses revealed considerable differences between interviewees in their use of coping strategies (e.g., rationalization of phubbing). These findings suggest the need to address phubbing at the workplace.

Parental phubbing refers to the phenomenon where parents ignore their children due to mobile phone use during parent-child interactions. This study examined the longitudinal mediating role of basic psychological need satisfaction in the relations between parental phubbing and adolescents’ core self-evaluation. We recruited 629 adolescents ( Mage = 15.20 years, SDage = 1.62 years) to participate in our longitudinal survey. Longitudinal mediation analyses revealed that parental phubbing negatively predicted adolescents' core self-evaluation by diminishing their basic psychological need satisfaction. Additionally, longitudinal network analyses identified two significant parental phubbing behaviors that impact adolescents' core self-evaluation: parents keeping mobile phones in hand during interactions with their adolescents and checking mobile phone information during mealtime. Our work provides a novel understanding on how parental phubbing decreases adolescent core self-evaluation.

Introduction Parental phubbing refers to the act of parents using mobile phones in the presence of their children instead of engaging with them. With increasing smartphone use in many households, parental phubbing is a potential threat to children’s healthy development. This meta-analysis synthesized the existing evidence on the impact of parental phubbing on children’s social-emotional development to examine the effect sizes and identify the moderators. Methods Following the PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic search across multiple electronic databases (Web of Science, EBSCO, ProQuest, Springer, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure) from 2012 to May 2023. Our search included both English and Chinese literature, encompassing published journal articles as well as thesis. To assess the risk of bias, we utilized the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies. Publication bias was evaluated using funnel plot interpretation and Egger’s regression intercept. Results Our comprehensive search identified 42 studies with 56,275 children and 59 effect sizes. A random-effects meta-analysis revealed that parental phubbing was positively associated with children’s internalizing problems ( r = 0.270; 95% CI [0.234, 0.304]) and externalizing problems ( r = 0.210; 95% CI [0.154, 0.264]), while negatively correlated with children’s self-concept ( r = −0.206; 95% CI [−0.244, −0.168]) and social-emotional competence ( r = −0.162; 95% CI [−0.207, −0.120]). Furthermore, the parental phubbing group moderated the association between parental phubbing and internalizing problems, when both parents engage in phubbing, there is a stronger association with children’s externalizing problems compared to when only one parent is engaging in phubbing. Discussion The findings of this meta-analysis provide strong evidence supporting the detrimental effects of parental phubbing on child social-emotional adjustment. Consequently, parents, researchers, and the government must collaborate to mitigate parental phubbing and promote the healthy development of children’s social-emotional abilities.
