Individual behavior that focuses on smartphones during face-to-face interactions that result in ignoring others is known as phubbing. Students who have a high level of phubbing will use smartphones more often when interacting. This study aims to determine the relationship between avoidant attachment style and self-regulation with phubbing in adolescents in Ketapang City. This study was conducted on 265 respondents who attended SMAN 02 Ketapang using a simple random sampling technique. The research instruments included a phubbing scale referring to the theory of Karadag et al. (2015), an avoidant attachment style scale referring to the theory of Hazan & Shaver (1987), and a self-regulation scale referring to the theory of Novak & Clayton (2001). The results of the analysis showed that avoidant attachment style and self-regulation had a significant influence on phubbing. Avoidant attachment style had a significant positive influence while self-regulation had a significant negative influence
