Previous research showed that phone use during co-present interactions with one's partner (partner phubbing) is negatively related to relationship satisfaction. In two cross-sectional surveys (N = 507 and N = 386) we confirmed this finding and also extended it by focusing on the mediating role of feelings of exclusion, perceived partner responsiveness, perceived intimacy, conflict about phone use, and feelings of jealousy. Results of both studies demonstrate that the link between partner phubbing and relationship satisfaction was mediated by feelings of exclusion, less perceived partner responsiveness, and less intimacy. We observed no significant mediation effects of conflict over phone use and jealousy when the three significant mediators were taken into account. In contrast to previous work, this suggests that conflict and jealousy are not the primary mechanism through which pphubbing results in reduced relationship satisfaction. Moreover, we demonstrated that shared phone use moderates the adverse effects of pphubbing. This means that by involving and informing a partner about one's phone activities, it is possible to reduce feelings of exclusion, maintain more responsiveness and intimacy in the conversation, and consequently reduce detrimental relationship effects.

先前的研究表明，在与伴侣共同呈现互动（合作伙伴 phubbing）期间使用电话与关系满意度呈负相关。在两个横断面调查中（N  = 507 和N = 386）我们证实了这一发现，并通过关注排斥感、感知到的伴侣反应、感知到的亲密、关于电话使用的冲突和嫉妒感的中介作用来扩展它。两项研究的结果都表明，伴侣发脾气和关系满意度之间的联系是由排斥感、较少感知的伴侣反应和较少亲密感介导的。当考虑到三个重要的调解人时，我们没有观察到关于电话使用和嫉妒的冲突的显着调解效果。与以前的工作相反，这表明冲突和嫉妒并不是 phubbing 导致关系满意度降低的主要机制。此外，我们证明了共享电话的使用可以减轻 phubbing 的不利影响。
