The relationship between phubbing and self-esteem in the context of perceived phubbing behaviors of parents

Summary/Abstract: Objective: The concept of phubbing can be described as a phenomenon in which a person looks at their mobile phone and uses it while talking to other people, thus avoiding interpersonal communication (Karadağ et al., 2015). The aim of the study was to check whether phubbing used by parents correlates with the use of phubbing in their adult children, whether phubbing in parents is correlated with the self-esteem of children (in adulthood) and whether the self-esteem of children (in adulthood) is correlated with the level of phubbing used by them. Method: The study participants were 107 people from Poland. The authors used the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES), the Generic Scale of Phubbing (GSP), as well as their own questions enabling the verification of the level of phubbing used by the parents of the respondents. Results: The results showed a positive correlation (r = 0.37; p < 0.001) between parental phubbing and children's phubbing, as well as between children's self-esteem and parents' phubbing (r = 0.37; p < 0.001) and between children's phubbing and their self-esteem (r = 0.46; p < 0.001). Conclusion: The study confirms the modeling role of parents' phubbing for the intensity of children's phubbing, but at the same time does not show a negative role for children's self-esteem. Moreover, the positive correlation between children's phubbing and their self-esteem is contrary to previous results. Children's phubbing partially mediates the relationship between parents' phubbing and their self-esteem, which requires further research to better understand this mechanism.
