Abstract

Romantic partner phubbing (RPP) is when one ignores their romantic partner in favor of one's smartphone. Although RPP may be related to poorer mental health, less is known whether social comparison moderates this association. The present study investigated how social comparison moderates the associations between RPP and depressive, anxiety, and stress (DAS) symptoms in Hispanic emerging adults. Hispanic emerging adult college students (n = 210) completed a survey assessing demographics, RPP, social comparison, and DAS symptoms. Results indicated a significant interaction between RPP and social comparison such that lower levels of social comparison (i.e., increased upward comparison) strengthened the positive associations between RPP and DAS symptoms. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed; future prospective studies are warranted to assess temporality.

社会比较在西班牙裔新生成人的伴侣低头与心理健康关系中的调节作用。

恋人低头症（RPP）是指一个人因为玩智能手机而忽略了他们的恋人。虽然RPP可能与较差的心理健康有关，但社会比较是否会缓和这种联系尚不清楚。本研究调查了社会比较如何调节西班牙裔新生成人RPP与抑郁、焦虑和压力（DAS）症状之间的关联。210名西班牙裔大学生（n = 210）完成了一项评估人口统计学、RPP、社会比较和DAS症状的调查。结果表明，RPP与社会比较之间存在显著的相互作用，即较低水平的社会比较（即向上比较的增加）加强了RPP与DAS症状之间的正相关。讨论了这些发现的临床意义；未来的前瞻性研究有必要评估暂时性。
