Phubbing uses the phone in a quality time with a partner, such as at the dining table or at the heart of the heart. A study published on Frontiers in Psychology narrows the alarming consequences of such behavior.
The surface requirement may seem simple as a phone check on any text or a random scroll, but it will often not be well -known. This leads to relational aggression and threatens the attitude. Let’s figure out what that means.

Understanding of relational aggression
Aggression does not mean that it becomes violent or physically harm anyone. In this context, the violence is affixed with “relationships”, in particular, an emotional connection between partners. It is an unphasy form of aggression that emotionally damages the relationship.
The study shows that phubbing makes the ignored partner feel left behind and neglected. In turn, they are involved in a “self -aggressive” behavior such as recall, less emotionally or even intentionally saying harmful things. There is also a reduced sense of social support in the relationship. These aggressive behavior arise from the feeling of harm and frustration caused by ignoring the phone.
Women are more affected
There is a gender difference in conclusions. Women and men react to the fact that their partners are exposed.
When women are ignored because of the use of the phone, they feel less supported by their partners. This perceived lack of support causes them to act in ways that can harm the relationship, such as be far or purposeful. If a woman no longer receives the expected emotional support in relationships and, except that their partners are always on the phone, it further enhances a negative reaction.
For men, phubbing also causes relational aggression. But this is less due to emotional support. In this context, this context was not detailed to study the factors.
Therefore, it is important to remember the small, trivial habits, such as checking your phone. This may have a prolonged impact on relationships.
