Abstract
This study investigates the impact of
smartphone addiction and self-control on phubbing behavior among 149
undergraduate students at Universitas Muslim Nusantara Medan using a
cross-sectional survey. Results show a significant positive correlation between
smartphone addiction (mean SAS score 40.5) and phubbing behavior, indicating
higher addiction leads to increased phubbing. Conversely, higher self-control
(mean SCS score 38.2) negatively correlates with phubbing, suggesting better
self-control reduces phubbing tendencies. Multiple regression analysis confirms
both smartphone addiction and self-control significantly predict phubbing (R^2
= 0.54). Students with low self-control exhibit significantly more phubbing
behavior (t(147) = -7.89, p < 0.001). Findings underscore the need for interventions
promoting healthier smartphone use and enhancing self-regulation to mitigate
phubbing. Educational campaigns and supportive environments fostering
face-to-face interactions are recommended. Addressing these factors can improve
social interactions and academic outcomes among university students,
emphasizing the importance of managing smartphone use and enhancing
self-control.
