Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Phubbing, or phone snubbing, is a growing problem harming relationships. Research predominantly examines romantic ties, neglecting other relationships and key contributing factors like impulsivity.
Area Of Science
- Psychology
- Communication Studies
- Sociology
Background
- Phubbing (phone snubbing) is the act of ignoring individuals during face-to-face interactions due to mobile phone use.
- This behavior is increasingly recognized as detrimental to social relationships and has garnered significant scientific attention.
- A bibliometric analysis is needed to map the existing research landscape and identify future research directions.
Purpose Of The Study
- To conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of phubbing research.
- To identify research trends, key themes, and influential studies in the field.
- To highlight gaps in the literature and suggest avenues for future investigation.
Main Methods
- Bibliometric analysis of 199 articles published in the Web of Science database (1985-2022).
- Utilized citation, co-occurrence, and co-citation analysis techniques.
- Employed VOSviewer software to create scientific maps for visualization.
Main Results
- Research predominantly focuses on the impact of phubbing on romantic relationships.
- Limited research addresses phubbing in family, work, or friend dynamics.
- Identified key research areas for future study include internet use motivations, social comparison, impulsivity, and executive functions.
Conclusions
- Current phubbing research is heavily skewed towards romantic relationships.
- Further research is crucial to understand phubbing's broader relational impacts and underlying psychological mechanisms.
- This bibliometric analysis provides a foundation for future research and practical interventions in psychology, health, and education.

Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...
The chi-square test is a statistical hypothesis test. It is used to check whether there is a significant difference between an expected value and an observed value. In the context of genetics, it enables us to either accept or reject a hypothesis, based on how much the observed values deviate from the expected values.
The chi-square test was developed by Pearson in 1990.
The first step of performing a Chi-square analysis is to establish a null hypothesis, which assumes that there is no real...
Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.
A good example of social proof is from laugh tracks on television shows. Fullery & Skeffington (1974) found that adding group laughter sounds to material increased how humorous the participants perceived that material, regardless of whether the content itself was funny or not. By adding a laugh...
Nonconscious mimicry occurs when individuals alter their mannerisms to match the behaviors and expressions of those nearby, without intention.
The concept of nonconscious mimicry is not a new one. How often do you find yourself mimicking someone’s behavior or speech, or even beginning to like the same things that they do? Such actions relate to forming affiliation and fitting in within social situations. Here, this phenomenon will be explored from various aspects to understand how...
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.
Can you think of an example in which having an audience could improve performance? One common example is sports. Skilled basketball...
Behaviors are actions that an organism engages in—they can be related to finding food, reproducing, defending against threats, and many other possible actions. Behaviors include activities related to the environment around the animal—such as migration—as well as social interactions within a species or population. Many behaviors involve motor output—that is, muscle movements—while others involve less visible actions, such as learning.
Genetic and Environmental...
