The ubiquitous and omnipresent smartphone has dramatically altered how people communicate. The present research investigates how partner phubbing (phone snubbing) among romantic partners impacts relationship satisfaction. Study 1 experimentally manipulates partner phubbing and finds it drives romantic jealousy and relationship satisfaction. Study 2 uses an alternative manipulation of partner phubbing and explores the moderating role of interpersonal attachment anxiety in the relationship between partner phubbing, romantic jealousy, and relationship satisfaction. Study 2 finds that partner phubbing and attachment anxiety have an interactive effect on jealousy, which then leads to relationship satisfaction. Study 3 employs a survey and finds that partner phubbing has downstream negative effects on well-being through romantic jealousy, but only among anxiously attached individuals. The heavy use of technology, especially smartphones, in the presence of one’s romantic partner, and the negative outcomes associated with partner phubbing, establishes the importance of research in this area. Directions for future research and study limitations are discussed.

无处不在且无所不在的智能手机极大地改变了人们的交流方式。本研究调查了浪漫伴侣之间的伴侣抚慰（电话抚慰）如何影响关系满意度。研究1实验性地操纵了伴侣的吞咽行为，并发现这种行为会引起浪漫的嫉妒和人际关系的满足。研究2使用了另一种伙伴伴侣吞咽操作，并探讨了人际交往焦虑在伴侣伙伴吞咽，浪漫嫉妒和关系满意度之间的关系中的调节作用。研究2发现伴侣的吞咽和依恋焦虑对嫉妒有互动影响，进而导致关系满意度。研究3进行了一项调查，发现伴侣恋爱会因浪漫的嫉妒而对幸福感产生负面的负面影响，但仅限于焦虑的个体中。在一个浪漫伴侣的陪伴下，大量使用技术，尤其是智能手机，以及与伴侣打扰相关的负面结果，确立了这一领域研究的重要性。讨论了未来研究和研究局限性的方向。
