”Du är där men inte där”: En kvalitativ studie om phubbing
(2022) PSPR14 20221Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Phubbing beskriver fenomenet då en eller flera personer under en social interaktion tar upp sin mobiltelefon och riktar sin uppmärksamhet mot den istället för den eller de en umgås med. Phubbing har i tidigare kvantitativa studier visat sig ge upphov till negativa känslor och tycks påverka relationer och relationskvalitet negativt. Därför ämnar denna kvalitativa studie besvara forskningsfrågan: Hur upplevs phubbing ur ett individuellt och relationellt perspektiv? Åtta semistrukturerade fokusgrupper hölls med totalt 28 deltagare. Datamaterialet analyserades därefter med hjälp av tematisk analys, där resultaten presenteras i tre huvudteman. Tema 1 visar hur phubbing är så pass vanligt förekommande att deltagarna ofta har förståelse för egen... (More)

Åtta semistrukturerade fokusgrupper hölls med totalt 28 deltagare. Datamaterialet analyserades därefter med hjälp av tematisk analys, där resultaten presenteras i tre huvudteman. Tema 1 visar hur phubbing är så pass vanligt förekommande att deltagarna ofta har förståelse för egen och andras phubbing. Deltagarna upplever samtidigt negativa känslor och tankar som följd av att bli phubbad, men att reaktionen beror på olika kontextuella faktorer, vilket beskrivs i Tema 2. De upplever också att relationen påverkas negativt av phubbing på både kort och lång sikt. Slutligen beskriver Tema 3 hur deltagarna upplever att tydlig kommunikation kan dämpa negativa effekter av phubbing. Den aktuella studien bidrar med unika perspektiv till phubbing och är den första i sitt slag att undersöka fenomenet i en svensk kontext. (Less)
- Abstract
- Phubbing describes the phenomenon when one or more people during a social interaction pick up their mobile phone and direct their attention to it instead of the person or people they are hanging out with. Phubbing has in previous quantitative studies been shown to give rise to negative emotions and seems to affect relationships and relationship quality negatively. Therefore, this qualitative study intends to answer the research question: How is phubbing experienced from an individual and a relational perspective? Eight semi-structured focus groups were held with a total of 28 participants. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis resulting in three main themes. Theme 1 describes how phubbing is so common that participants often have... (More)
- Phubbing describes the phenomenon when one or more people during a social interaction pick up their mobile phone and direct their attention to it instead of the person or people they are hanging out with. Phubbing has in previous quantitative studies been shown to give rise to negative emotions and seems to affect relationships and relationship quality negatively. Therefore, this qualitative study intends to answer the research question: How is phubbing experienced from an individual and a relational perspective? Eight semi-structured focus groups were held with a total of 28 participants. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis resulting in three main themes. Theme 1 describes how phubbing is so common that participants often have an understanding of their own and others' phubbing. At the same time, the participants experience negative feelings and thoughts as a result of being phubbed, but that the reaction depends on various contextual factors, which are described in Theme 2. They also experience that their relationships are negatively affected by phubbing in both the short and long term. Finally, Theme 3 describes how participants experience that clear communication can reduce the negative effects of phubbing. The study contributes with unique perspectives to phubbing and is the first of its kind to investigate the phenomenon in a Swedish context. (Less)
