PG  - 885-894

AB  - Mobile phone addiction is a robust phenomenon observed throughout the world. The 
      social aspect of mobile phone use is crucial; therefore, phubbing is a part of 
      the mobile phone addiction phenomenon. Phubbing is defined as ignoring an 
      interlocutor by glancing at one's mobile phone during a face-to-face 
      conversation. The main aim of this study was to investigate how the Phubbing 
      Scale (containing 10 items) might vary across countries, and between genders. 
      Data were collected in 20 countries: Belarus, Brazil, China, Croatia, Ecuador, 
      India, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, 
      Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, UK, Ukraine and USA. The mean age across the sample 
      (N = 7696, 65.8% women, 34.2% men) was 25.32 years (SD = 9.50). The 
      cross-cultural invariance of the scale was investigated using multigroup 
      confirmatory factor analyses (MGCFA) as well as the invariance analyses. 
      Additionally, data from each country were assessed individually via confirmatory 
      factor analyses (CFAs). We obtained two factors, based on only eight of the 
      items: (a) communication disturbances and (b) phone obsession. The 8 items 
      Phubbing Scale.
