The document discusses the phenomenon of "phubbing", which refers to ignoring others in social situations due to focus on one's mobile phone. It traces the origin of the term to 2012 when an advertising agency coined it. Effects of phubbing include poor communication quality and relationship dissatisfaction. Phubbing can be especially problematic in classrooms, where it hinders learning, and in clinical settings, where it can compromise patient care and confidentiality. The document examines scales to measure phubbing behavior and provides tips for individuals to reduce phubbing, such as modeling phone-free interactions and implementing "digital detox" periods.

Phubbing was first coined as a
term in May 2012.
An Australian advertising
agency created this word to
describe the growing
phenomenon of people
ignoring their friends and
family who were right in front
of them and instead scrolling
through their phones.

The use of smartphones has increased dramatically in the classroom and
it had been found that smartphones had been owned by 98% of college
(Diamanduros, 2007).
During class lectures 62% of students reporting the use of electronic
media for non-academic purposes, studying, or doing homework
(Jacobsen & Forste, 2011).
It is one of the toughest task for teachers and they struggle with the use
of smartphones by students in the classrooms during lecture while
keeping them focused on learning. (Young, 2006)
In another study 269 university students was surveyed and argued that
the use of smartphones is a distraction and by texting during the class
they are not paying attention on lectures (Tindell, 2012).

Beeping, ringing, and singing ring tones can be a nuisance, and the
tendency for patients to answer their phones in the middle of a
consultation is irritating.(Derbyshire, 2006).
A study by the Medical Devices Agency in the United Kingdom reported
that mobile phones could interfere with 4% of medical devices at a
distance of one metre.(MDA, 1997).
Smartphones placed within 3 cm of critical care equipment produced
interference. (Van Leishout, 2007)
Patient confidentiality could be breached when smartphones are used to
send messages or images pertaining to patients.(Phillipi, 2011).

You don’t have to stop using your phone to prevent
phubbing. You just have to be more aware. Being mindful
of your actions when you’re around other people is a
great place to start.
You can also ask friends for accountability. If they
feel like you’re zoning into your phone, they should feel
free to call your attention to it.
Phubbing is a learned behavior — after all, it’s only
recently become a problem — and you can unlearn it. It
will take time and some work, but your mental health and
your relationships will thank you for it.
Different year accepted different definition… more effect on mental an social health
Now a days mental health have been affected by many factors and smart phone addcition is one of the most important factor affecting mental health
Smart phone had many side affects on a person mental health like… the one which we are going to discuss is phubbing
And the electronic device we are talking here is mobile phone
Explain phubber first than explain phubbed
In our general day to day life work like chilling out with friends , spending time with partner, waiting at bus, railway station, having dinner, staying with family we knowingly or unknowingly are addicted to phone and become a victim of phubbing.
Phubbing has different themes like t, p, s, c, c
Psychological: the use of the Internet and other technologies has forced people to live in a more accelerated way. The changes have been so abrupt that they keep people in continual expectation about the future, which causes them to experience feelings of insecurity and restlessness, which in turn influences their physical and mental health.
Social: Traditionally, the term ‘social’ has been used to refer to people, groups or communities
that interact within the same scenarios and contexts. Currently, the advancement of the information society has transformed important forms of social interaction, where the quantity and variety of social relationships in the network increase exponentially. In this context, one of the most outstanding changes caused by this informational ecosystem has been the evolution of the human being at a cognitive level. Immersed people who live in an environment of multi-literacy processes and connected screens are participating in the consumption and cultural production of an increasingly innovative environment.
Communicational- in todays scenario people mostly try to communicate with each other through messages due to which face to face interactions had become quite low , there is high virtual communication and hence falls under communicational phubbing.
A line which I had read that One thing which we do for 21 days continuously becomes a habit , therefore the usage of smartphones since so long has become a part of or culture and lead us towards cultural phubbing.

Model a better behavior
If you want to silently encourage the chronic phubber to stop, be a good example. Put your phone away when you’re lounging on the couch. Don’t encourage them to show you something on their phone during a date. Focus on the other people at the table. Slowly but surely, they’ll get the hint.
2. Call them out
If someone you regularly interact with has a habit of phubbing, tell them. The Stop Phubbing campaign will email your loved one a note about their behavior if a face-to-face conversation is too difficult or uncomfortable for you.
3. Be sympathetic
Phubbing isn’t a real addiction, but it is an impulse problem. Impulses and learned behaviors take some time to break, so be patient and understanding, but be firm, too.
Set time boundaries: Schedule technology-free hours every day, stay away from your phone during meals or add technology-free activities to your schedule like classes.
Use your phone with purpose: When you want to use your phone, consider the reason why. If it involves negative coping behaviors like avoidance of an activity, think about how you can better handle that feeling.
Set physical boundaries: If you have trouble putting down your phone, try storing it in another room to discourage yourself from using it.
Enjoy more paper media: Try out non-digital media like books, newspapers and comics. You can also pick up a pencil and paper to write or draw.
Take advantage of your phone’s apps and features: Your phone’s features can help you control your overall technology use. For example, you can turn off notifications for certain apps or turn off your phone entirely for a while.
