Abstract

Abstract:With the advent of smartphone technologies, connections to other people, information, and services have transcended everyday norms. However, together with the evolving technologies, unprecedented changes in the behaviors of individuals are emerging. Among these changes is phubbing, the practice of ignoring those in the immediate surroundings during real conversations in favor of smartphones. In light of this, the aim of the present study was to determine if there is a relationship between smartphone addiction and phubbing in international students and if mindfulness is a moderator of this relationship. A cross-sectional survey with snowball sampling was adopted, and a total of 294 international students volunteered to complete self-report measures. In this study, while there was a significant positive relationship between smartphone addiction and phubbing, no such significant association was determined for mindfulness in its relationship with smartphone addiction and phubbing. The moderation analysis revealed that mindfulness significantly moderated the relationship between smartphone addiction and phubbing; however, high mindfulness did not serve as a protective factor against the effects of smartphone addiction on phubbing.

土耳其留学生的智能手机成瘾和低头症:正念的调节作用

摘要：随着智能手机技术的出现，与他人的联系、信息和服务已经超越了日常规范。然而，随着技术的发展，个人行为发生了前所未有的变化。这些变化包括phubing，即在真实对话中忽略周围环境中的人，转而使用智能手机。鉴于此，本研究的目的是确定国际学生的智能手机成瘾和打嗝之间是否存在关系，以及正念是否是这种关系的调节因素。采用滚雪球抽样的横断面调查，共有294名国际学生自愿完成自我报告。在这项研究中，虽然智能手机成瘾和打嗝之间存在显著的正相关关系，但在正念与智能手机成瘾的关系中，没有确定这种显著的关联。适度分析显示，正念显著调节了智能手机成瘾和打嗝之间的关系；然而，高正念并不能成为抵御智能手机成瘾对phubing影响的保护因素。
