Abstract

The paper is devoted to study of phubbing, a relatively new phenomenon of interpersonal, close relationships. Problem: the lack of reliable measures in Russian aimed at measuring phubbing and its perception in close relationships. Aim: to adapt short diagnostic scales for the Russian-speaking sample — Phubbing Scale and Partner phubbing (Pphubbing). Sample includes 337 people: 180 women and 157 men aged 18 to 35, 84 couples, partners of close relationships for 1—8 years among them. Method: Phubbing Scale, E. Karadağ, et al., 2015 and Partner phubbing (Pphubbing) by J.A. Roberts, M.E. David, 2015; reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, parametric comparison methods. Results: Phubbing Scale (α=0.83) and Partner phubbing (Pphubbing) (α=0.87) have good psychometric consistency characteristics. The results of correlation analysis and confirmatory factor analysis as a method of structural modeling confirms sufficient construct validity. Conclusion. Both measures (Phubbing Scale and Partner phubbing (Pphubbing)) differentiate respondents well according to the studied characteristics and have a high predictive value for the corresponding general population. The adapted scales can be used in phubbing studies among Russian-speaking samples.
