Resumen
DO NASCIMENTO TEIXEIRA, Iara y DE ASSIS FREIRE, Sandra Elisa. Partner phubbing, satisfaction, and subjective well-being: The impact of digital technology on romantic relationships. Psicogente [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.44, pp.129-143. Epub 09-Jun-2020. ISSN 0124-0137. https://doi.org/10.17081/psico.23.44.3438.
Objective:
The objective of this study was to research partner phubbing´s influence (phubbing) on subjective well-being and romantic relationships’ satisfaction.
Method:
The study included 217 participants with a mean age of 25 years (minimum age = 18, maximum age 53, and dp = 5.98), 62,2 % being female. They responded to the phubbing scales, positive and negative effects, life satisfaction, relationship satisfaction scale, and sociodemographic questionnaire. The data were analyzed through the SPSS software (v.22).
Results:
A significant and negative correlation was found between phubbing and positive effects (r = −0.32, p < 0.01), life satisfaction (r = −0.13, p < 0.01), and relationship satisfaction (r = −0.38, p < 0.01), as it also presented a significant, positive, and moderate correlation between phubbing and negative effects (r = 0.33, p < 0.01). Through the regression, phubbing showed an influence on the relationship satisfaction (β = −0.38, p < 0.001), positive effects (β = −0.32, p < 0.001), and negative effects (β = 0.33, p < 0.001).
Conclusions:
The results suggest that those who experience more phubbing from their partners tend to be less satisfied with their relationship, as well as have less subjective well-being. Therefore, this article offers unprecedented results for Brazil, one of the few in the world to quantitatively evaluate phubbing in romantic relationships. In this way, it contributes to encouraging future research in the area and provides a basis for interventions and awareness actions regarding the healthy use of smartphone.
