“…However, in a study by X. Wang, Wang, et al (2020), the gender variable did not appear explain the relationship between parental phubbing and cyberbullying. In another study, H. Wang et al (2022) found that although parental phubbing was positively related to cyberbullying in both genders, a moderating effect of the perspective adopted in this relationship existed only for boys.…”

BackgroundTo mitigate or prevent the effects of cyberbullying, adolescents are primarily influenced by how they have been educated and supervised at home in the use of technology.ObjectiveOur main objective was to examine the association of parental phubbing and family supervision of Internet and social networks use with cyberbullying victimization and aggression.MethodA survey was conducted to examine these factors in a sample of 1,554 students aged 10 to 18 years in the Aragon region of Spain.ResultsFamily supervision is a protective factor against becoming an aggressor or a victim of cyberbullying. Aggressor and victim roles correlate with higher levels of parental phubbing. Multigroup analysis applying structural equation modeling by age and gender revealed certain differences. Gender differences were found with parental phubbing associated with boys' likelihood of being aggressors. Although family supervision protected both boys and girls, there was a stronger association for girls' parents. Fewer differences were observed for age group.ConclusionThis study found strong relation between cyberbullying, family supervision, and parental phubbing. Our findings also suggest that cyberbullying prevention strategies need to differ depending on whether they are applied to girls or boys.ImplicationsThe importance of model behavior for minors to follow in their optimal use of information and communication technologies and family supervision of smartphone use should be placed at the center of cyberbullying prevention strategies.

“…Among the mentioned research, supervisor phubbing is proven to have a different influential path on their subordinates in individual psychological conditions [17,24], emotions and attitudes [1,9,19,23], and working performance [9,18,25]. What is noteworthy is that phubbing can result in stressful conditions for the neglected person [23,24,26,27]. Flagged as a typical counterproductive workplace managerial behavior [19,24], supervisor phubbing is proven to negatively impact subordinates' psychological conditions, such as producing withdrawal tendencies [6], lower employees' organizationbased self-esteem [19], engagement level, identification, and trust in their supervisor [17].…”

With the excessive smartphone use in the workplace, supervisor phubbing has drawn broad concerns in managerial and academic fields. Though the neglect is unintentional, this behavior can generate counterproductive working behaviors. The basic assumptions of this study are that supervisor phubbing can impact employee psychological withdrawal behavior directly and indirectly via work alienation. To provide empirical evidence for the assumptions, the two-wave online survey of 302 Chinese employees without any supervisory functions was conducted on the Questionnaire Star platform. Based on the stressor-emotion model, work alienation is proved to be the psychological path in the positive relationship between supervisor phubbing and employee psychological withdrawal behavior. Different from the current studies exploring the impact mechanism of phubbing behavior on psychological withdrawal behavior between parents and children, couples, or friends, we put this mechanism into the workplace and focus on subordinate–superior relationships. In addition, the positive indirect effects are enhanced when employees have higher interpersonal sensitivity. In practice, these findings suggest that organizations should normalize the smart devices use in the workplace, and supervisors should balance their working roles with other roles. In addition, organizations should strengthen training on adjusting to negative emotions and interpersonal sensitivity control at work. Although two rounds of the time-lagged data were collected in a one-month interval, the limitations of cross-section data still exist, so the conclusions cannot establish causality. Hence, future research may conduct experimental or longitudinal research designs to make the conclusion more rigorous.

“…However, these technologies can sometimes disrupt or impair parent–child interactions (Mcdaniel & Coyne, 2016). The phenomenon that parents are distracted or ignore their children because of their smartphones when they are interacting with their children is defined as parental phubbing, which is a negative form of parent–child interaction and has attracted the interest of researchers (Wang, Gao, et al, 2020; Wang, Zhou, et al, 2022). As a new form of social exclusion (David & Roberts, 2017), parental phubbing negatively impacts adolescents’ psychological development, such as reducing the quality of parent–child communication, impairing adolescents’ interpersonal communication ability, and increasing the risk of accidental injury and problem behaviors (for a review, see Jiang et al, 2021).…”

“…Despite the growing body of research linking parental phubbing to adolescent problem behavior, these studies have mainly focused on online behavior, such as cyberbullying and Internet addiction (Geng et al, 2021; Wang & Lei, 2022; Wang, Wang, et al, 2022; Wang, Zhou, et al, 2022; Wei et al, 2021; Zhang, Ding, et al, 2021). Limited research has studied the relationship between parental phubbing and adolescent offline behaviors, particularly general aggression (Wang, Qiao, et al, 2022).…”

The impact of parental phubbing has attracted the attention of researchers, especially concerning adolescents’ online behavior. However, limited research has studied the influence of parental phubbing on interpersonal aggression, including the underlying mechanism. Grounded in parental acceptance–rejection theory, the present study investigated the association between parental phubbing and interpersonal aggression as well as the mediating role of rejection sensitivity among adolescents. Additionally, school climate was explored as a moderator based on social ecological theory. The multiple questionnaires were completed by 914 Chinese adolescents ( M = 12.61; SD = 1.73; 49.78% girls). The results revealed a positive correlation between parental phubbing and aggression, which was mediated by rejection sensitivity. That is, adolescents who experienced parental phubbing were more likely to exhibit rejection sensitivity, which further triggered aggression. Moreover, school climate acted as a moderator in the model. Specifically, we found no significant moderating effect of school climate on parental phubbing and aggression. However, school climate moderated the relationship between rejection sensitivity and aggression. A positive school climate buffered the associations of rejection sensitivity and aggression. Additionally, school climate moderated the relationship between parental phubbing and rejection sensitivity. The relationship between parental phubbing and rejection sensitivity became nonsignificant when adolescents were in a negative school climate, and those adolescents reported higher rejection sensitivity whether they experienced parental phubbing or not. Parental phubbing was more strongly associated with adolescents’ rejection sensitivity in a positive school climate. With a lower level of parental phubbing, rejection sensitivity is sharply reduced. The results deepen our understanding of the relationship between parental phubbing and aggression and its underlying mechanisms. It also implicates preventative interventions to reduce the risk of parental phubbing in interpersonal aggression among adolescents.
