Description
Summary:Phubbing is a behavior of great relevance, yet scarcely studied in Argentina. The present study validated a questionnaire in this regard in a sample of Argentine adolescents and emerging adults/young adults. An intentional sample of 1245 participants from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and Paraná, Argentina, aged 12 to 40 years, with 70% of women was constituted. Participants answered the Karadağ et al. (2015) Questionnaire on Phubbing and the Furman and Buhrmester (1992) Inventory of Conflict-Antagonism with parents (fathers and mothers). The results of exploratory factor analysis indicated an adequate structure of three factors. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a satisfactory adjustment. Internal reliability was adequate with certain reservations for some factors. Construct validity evidence was also found, as indicated by the association of phubbing with age and conflict-antagonism with parents.
