Phubbing by Parents May Fuel Anxiety and Insecure Bonds in Teens, Study Finds

A Frontiers in Psychology study of 600 US adolescents (12–17) found that parental fixation on screens and phubbing during attempts to connect can make kids feel devalued and contribute to insecure attachment, lower self-esteem, and anxiety. The findings reflect adolescents’ perceptions of parental attention to devices, and while not every phone distraction causes harm, the research adds to a growing body of evidence that parental gadget use can affect children’s social and emotional well-being.

"Link Found Between Poor Body Image, Low Self-Efficacy, and Phubbing Behavior"

A study has found that individuals prone to phubbing others tend to have worse body image and self-efficacy, with single individuals more likely to phub others compared to married individuals. Phubbing, the act of ignoring someone in a social setting by paying attention to one’s phone, can negatively impact personal relationships. The study suggests that phubbing exposure may become more widespread in the future, potentially affecting interpersonal relationships and causing psychosocial problems. However, the study was based solely on self-reports, and further research using other data collection methods is needed.

The Damaging Effects of 'Phubbing' on Marriages

A study conducted by psychologists at Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University found that married couples who engage in "phubbing" (phone snubbing) have lower marriage satisfaction. The researchers sent out surveys to married couples in Turkey and discovered that couples who reported more phubbing in their homes also reported less satisfaction in their marriage. The study suggests that turning off phones more often can help improve marital satisfaction.
