Abstract(s)
A era digital ocasionou um fenómeno desafiante nos relacionamentos amorosos, o partner phubbing, que compreende o ato de um indivíduo se distrair com o seu smartphone, durante a comunicação face a face, quando está com o seu parceiro amoroso (Roberts & David, 2016). Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo descrever o comportamento de partner phubbing e a satisfação no relacionamento amoroso numa amostra de indivíduos residentes em Portugal, assim como analisar se a relação entre o partner phubbing e a satisfação no relacionamento é moderada pelo sexo e idade, quando a duração da relação é controlada. Para o alcance destes objetivos, foi utilizada uma abordagem quantitativa, tendo sido analisados os dados de um questionário online aplicado a uma amostra de 206 adultos com um relacionamento amoroso, e idades entre os 19 e os 78 anos (M = 39, DP = 15.3), incluindo 133 do sexo feminino e 73 do sexo masculino. De seguida, procedeu-se à realização de análises descritivas e de regressão. Os resultados da análise descritiva revelaram que o partner phubbing foi moderado, sendo globalmente consistente entre sexos e idades. Para além disso, ambos os sexos identificaram os seus relacionamentos como altamente satisfatórios, embora o sexo feminino tenha apresentado pontuações ligeiramente superiores, assim como participantes mais jovens, reduzindo a satisfação com o evoluir da idade. Já os resultados da análise de regressão mostraram que o aumento de partner phubbing se associa negativamente com a satisfação no relacionamento e que também existe uma relação inversa entre esta última e a idade. No entanto, não foi identificada moderação significativa do sexo e da idade nesta associação. Estes resultados fornecem evidências relevantes sobre os efeitos negativos da prática de phubbing num relacionamento amoroso.
The digital age has brought about a challenging phenomenon in romantic relationships, partner phubbing, which comprises the act of an individual being distracted by their smartphone during face-to-face communication when they are with their romantic partner (Roberts & David, 2016). Therefore, this study aimed to describe partner phubbing behaviour and relationship satisfaction in a sample of individuals living in Portugal, as well as to analyse whether the relationship between partner phubbing and relationship satisfaction is moderated by gender and age, when the duration of the relationship is controlled. To achieve these objectives, a quantitative approach was used, analysing data from an online questionnaire applied to a sample of 206 adults in a romantic relationship, aged between 19 and 78 (M = 39, SD = 15.3), including 133 females and 73 males. Descriptive and regression analyses were then carried out. The results of the descriptive analysis revealed that partner phubbing was moderate and was generally consistent between genders and ages. In addition, both sexes identified their relationships as highly satisfactory, although the female sex showed slightly higher scores, as did younger participants, with satisfaction decreasing with age. The results of the regression analysis showed that an increase in partner phubbing is negatively associated with relationship satisfaction and that there is also an inverse relationship between the latter and age. However, no significant moderation of gender and age was identified in this association. These results provide relevant evidence about the negative effects of phubbing in a romantic relationship.
