“…Loneliness may be defined as the feeling a person gets when his/her social relationships are inadequate on either the qualitative or quantitative level (Peplau, 2022). According to an increasing number of studies, young individuals who are feeling lonely have a larger propensity to involve in internetrelated addiction -such as problematic smartphone use (Liu et al, 2020). According to another meta-analysis, loneliness pushed people to use Internet-connected devices rather than vice versa (Song et al, 2014).…”

IntroductionThis article examines mediators and moderators that may explain the link between smartphone addiction and phubbing behavior using a sample of 794 university students.MethodsA mediation model was tested to test the hypothesis that social comparison orientation and fear of missing out would mediate the link between smartphone addiction and phubbing behavior. Additionally, a moderated mediation model was leveraged to examine loneliness as a moderator within the hypothesized model. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS.Results and DiscussionThe findings show a significant positive relationship between smartphone addiction and phubbing behavior. The findings confirm the hypothesized associations and reveal that smartphone addiction is positively linked to phubbing behavior. The link, on the other hand, is partially and sequentially mediated by the fear of missing out and social comparison orientation. As a result, both mediators might be regarded as proximal variables of phubbing behavior. Moreover, the associations between both smart addiction and phubbing behaviors as well as social comparison orientation and phubbing behaviors are moderated by loneliness. These two effects were stronger for university students with high loneliness than for those with low loneliness. This study addresses a major gap in the clinical psychology literature through the attempt to explore the relationship between smartphone addiction and increased phubbing behavior among university students.

“…There is a short circuit to interact with information objects in the information environment. This, according to scientists, leads to the development of symptoms of autism and identity destruction, which formed in a real neighborhood with people at an early stage of socialization (Heather, 2017;Liu et al, 2020;Racine & Rousseau-Lesage, 2017). If we remember that a person is, first of all, a creature capable of communication and activity based on consciousness and language, capable of reflecting the world in concepts and terms, many aspects of these qualities in the information world turn out to be superfluous.…”
