A pair of psychologists at Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University, has found evidence showing that married couples who regularly engage in phone snubbing (phubbing) have lower marriage satisfaction than couples who do not. In their study, reported in the journal Computers in Human Behavior, Suat Kılıçarslan and İzzet Parmaksız sent questionnaires to married couples in Turkey and compiled results from those that were returned.

    And now it seems that a new behavior has been identified—“phubbing,” or “phone snubbing”—in which people cut off conversations with others in their vicinity as they talk or text on their phone. If two people are doing it to each other, it is double-phubbing.

    For anyone else who doesn’t know what “phubbing” is. Even “phone snubbing” is an unclear name.

    But yeah if my spouse was checking her phone mid conversation all the time I’d be pissed.
