Abstract

Phubbing in romantic relationships is a form of smartphone misuse, occurring when individuals prioritize their smartphones over direct interaction with their partners. This behavior disrupts social interactions, creates household conflict, evokes jealousy, lowers marital satisfaction, and increases the risk of depression. The present study aimed to examine the contribution of smartphone addiction, self-control, and marital satisfaction to spousal phubbing behavior. A quantitative survey approach with a descriptive-correlational design was employed. The population consisted of married couples who actively used smartphones, and the sample was obtained through convenience sampling. Data were collected using validated and reliable Likert-scale instruments measuring smartphone addiction, self-control, marital satisfaction, and phubbing behavior. Data analysis was conducted using multiple regression. The findings revealed that smartphone addiction, self-control, and marital satisfaction together contributed 49.4% to spousal phubbing behavior, while the remaining proportion was explained by other factors. These results highlight the need to address smartphone use and self-regulation in maintaining marital harmony. Keywords: phubbing, marital satisfaction, self-control, smartphone addiction
