“…For instance, three out of four participants reported that their phone was almost always within their reach; one in six reported, “My eyes start wandering on my phone when I’m together with others.” Indicators of both obsession and communication were prevalent. The overall results are consistent with those of recent studies ( Davey et al, 2018 ; Cebollero Salinas et al, 2022 ; Ahmed et al, 2023 ; Purwar et al, 2023 ). Similar to the present study’s results, Davey et al (2018) found a 49.3% prevalence of phubbing.…”

“…In the present study, university students exhibited higher prevalence rates for Phone Obsession and the total score of Phubbing than those from lower educational levels. This result indicates that university students have a particularly high prevalence of phubbing, which agrees with another study that showed a prevalence rate of 88.8% among university students from Turkey ( Ahmed et al, 2023 ). Alonso and Romero (2021) suggested that PIU increases with age among adolescents.…”

“…Many studies have investigated phubbing behavior in educational contexts, with results suggesting a high prevalence of phubbing among students. For instance, a prevalence rate of 45.2% was found in adolescents in Spain ( Cebollero Salinas et al, 2022 ), and 88.8% of university students in Turkey reported engaging in phubbing behavior ( Ahmed et al, 2023 ). Based on a phubbing scale, college students in India had a 49.3% prevalence of phubbing ( Davey et al, 2018 ).…”

ObjectiveThis study examined the prevalence of phubbing behavior among school and university students in Spain and analyzed the correlation of phubbing with other indicators of psychological well-being and mental health.MethodsThe study sample comprised a total of 1,351 school and university students, with ages ranging from 12 to 21 years. The study used the Phubbing Scale (PS), the Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE), and the Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ) for data collection.ResultsThe results showed evidence of phubbing among approximately half of the students. Statistically significant differences were found based on gender and educational level in the Phone Obsession subscale and the PS total score, with male students and university students scoring higher in their respective parameters. In addition, phubbing was positively correlated with problematic internet use and negatively correlated with self-esteem.ConclusionPhubbing behavior is highly prevalent among adolescents aged 12–21 years and is positively correlated with low self-esteem and problematic internet use. Developing strategies for addressing this widespread issue at early ages, particularly within the educational context, such as schools, is crucial for implementing preventive measures. The inappropriate use of technological devices, including smartphones, in schools has the potential to negatively affect students’ well-being and ability to adapt to school.

Phubbing (i.e., snubbing someone in face-to-face interactions by focusing on one's phone instead of those present) has increased enormously in recent years and has become a widespread usage phenomenon that is associated with negative consequences, for instance for relationships and friendships. To better understand the predictors of phubbing behavior, the present paper provides a systematic overview of the growing research field. Based on a meta-analytic review of 79 studies and 526 effect sizes, we identified 10 higher-level predictor categories of phubbing behavior: sociodemographics, personality, technology-related norms & experiences, technical equipment, (smart)phone & Internet use, problematic use, well-being, psychopathology, and resilience as well as risk factors. The results of the three-level meta-analysis models indicated that the strongest predictors were problematic use patterns.
