Phubbing, Medo de ficar de fora (FoMO), Isolamento social, Normas sociais, TelemóvelResumo
A tecnologia e as redes sociais transformaram nossa forma de nos comunicarmos, interagirmos e nos mantermos informados. Phubbing, em espanhol "Ningufoneo", é um termo derivado de duas palavras: "phone" (telefone) e "snubbing" (desprezar), e representa o ato de ignorar uma pessoa em um ambiente da vida real, prestando mais atenção ao celular. Esse comportamento pode ser normalizado ou causar dificuldades sociais em determinadas situações.
O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os níveis de comportamento normativo e suas relações com o FoMO (Fear of Missing Out), os sentimentos de exclusão social e a escala de phubbing percebido. Foi realizado um estudo transversal, com a participação de 1506 pessoas na Argentina (50,79% identificadas como mulheres e 49,21% como homens), com idades entre 18 e 65 anos, que responderam a uma pesquisa online. Os resultados confirmaram que o phubbing é percebido como um comportamento normativo pela maioria dos participantes, representando um preditor do phubbing em suas interações sociais. Também foram encontradas relações entre o phubbing normativo percebido, os níveis de FoMO e os sentimentos de exclusão social. As implicações das variáveis estudadas são discutidas como possíveis preditores do phubbing, que devem ser levadas em conta em abordagens futuras. O estudo examina o phubbing como um comportamento normativo na Argentina. Não há estudos prévios que considerem o Medo de Perder Algo (FoMO), os Sentimentos de Exclusão Social e o Phubbing Percebido como variáveis preditoras.
