Telephone service, which has become a "disease" in the modern world, has led to the emergence of the concept of phubbing. Phubbing, which means taking one's attention and perception away from interpersonal communication and being interested in a smartphone while communicating with other people, leads to the fact that in the end, it does not come to fruition. Considering that phubbing causes negative effects on human relations and deterioration in communication quality, it is necessary to address academic issues. To continue for this purpose; The concept of phubbing has been explained in detail and its effects on work and social life have been investigated. At the same time, whether phubbing is a type of technological or behavioral "addiction" was discussed within the framework of theoretical theories.

Teorik yaklaşımlar çerçevesinde phubbing

Öz

Modern dünyanda adeta bir “hastalık” haline gelen telefon bağımlılığı, phubbing kavramının doğmasına yol açmıştır. Kişinin dikkatini ve algısını kişilerarası iletişimden uzaklaştırması ve diğer kişilerle iletişim halindeyken, akıllı telefonla ilgilenmesi anlamına gelen phubbing, giderek ilişkilerin kalitesinde bozulmaya yol açmaktadır. Phubbingin, insan ilişkileri üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri ve iletişim kalitesinde bozulmalara yol açtığı göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, konuyu akademik anlamda ele almak gerekliliği doğmuştur. Bu amaçla çalışmada; phubbing kavramı detaylı bir şekilde açıklanmış olup, iş ve sosyal yaşama olan etkileri araştırılmıştır. Aynı zamanda çalışmada phubbingin teknolojik mi yoksa davranışsal bir "bağımlılık" türü olduğu, teorik kuramlar çerçevesinden ele alınmıştır.
