About This Test
What It Measures
This test measures phubbing—phone snubbing behavior where smartphone use interrupts face-to-face social interactions. Based on research into digital distraction and relationship quality, it evaluates three dimensions: phone dependency (psychological attachment and separation anxiety), attention interference (checking phone during conversations), and social awareness (recognizing impact on others). Phubbing damages relationship satisfaction, reduces conversation quality, and signals to others that they're less important than your screen. This assessment quantifies how much your phone intrudes on real-world connections.
How It Works
You'll respond to 11 statements about increased phone usage over time, checking your phone during conversations, keeping it constantly accessible, morning phone rituals, notification urgency, reduced social activity due to screen time, and awareness of how your phone use affects others. Your score reveals whether you're fully present in social interactions, occasionally distracted, or phone-absorbed to the point of relationship damage. The test helps identify whether your digital habits support or sabotage connection.
When to Use This Test
Take this test if others have complained about your phone use, you've noticed yourself checking notifications during conversations, you feel anxious without your phone nearby, you're concerned about the impact of screens on your relationships, or you're trying to build healthier digital boundaries. Note: phubbing is increasingly normalized in modern culture, but research shows it reduces relationship satisfaction, creates feelings of rejection, and decreases conversation quality. Even moderate scores suggest room for improvement in digital etiquette and presence.
