Abstract

Phubbing, the act of ignoring someone in favor of engaging with a smartphone, has become a significant issue in contemporary society, affecting communication and relationships across various social contexts. This article comprehensively explores phubbing, beginning with its historical evolution and early definitions. It examines the different types of phubbing, including its occurrence in romantic relationships, workplaces, and family settings. The review systematically synthesizes a decade of literature (2014–2024) sourced from databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, TR Dizin, and thesis repositories. Approximately 145 relevant studies were reviewed, emphasizing key subtypes of phubbing and their impact on interpersonal communication. Psychological and social predictors such as personality traits and social media addiction are analyzed, alongside major theories including Social Exchange Theory and Technological Determinism. Strategies for mitigating phubbing are also proposed, aiming to foster healthier relationships with technology and enhance face-to-face interaction.
