Abstract
In recent years, along with the digital transition and the increase of smart phone users, phubbing, as an emerging phenomenon, has drawn the attention of scholars and experts. Phubbing, which means ignoring others while using a mobile phone, overshadows the quality of social relationships, social skills, well-being and marital satisfaction of the females. Like other phenomena, it is affected by many factors. In this research, relying on the theories of David and Roberts and Jeffrey Arnett, the relationship between smart phone addiction and the phubbing has been investigated among 18-29 year old women of Ramhormoz city. The research method is a survey, and the statistical population of the current research includes 18 to 29 year old women in Ramhormoz city. Using Cochran's formula and the cluster sampling method, 370 people were selected as the study sample. To measure the research variables, Creswel (2013) and Smartphone Addiction Scale by Kwon and his colleagues (2012) were used.
The research findings showed that there is a significant relationship between smart phone addiction and phubbing (Sig=0.000). The results of the regression analysis showed that 64% of the changes in the dependent variable are explained by the model variables (i.e. positive prediction, confusion of daily life and excessive use of mobile phones).
Therefore, based on the findings of the research, it can be said that smart phone addiction plays an important role in the prevalence of phubbing behavior among the young women in Ramhormoz
