Abstract :As spending considerable time on Smart Phones has nearly become a norm, people ignoring other people around them in social environments, increased remarkably over the past decade. People being exposed to phubbing behaviors by their companions, looking at their phones repeatedly in social settings are feeling ignored. In this study, after an extensive literature review, data were collected from 352 participants via SurveyMonkey software regarding their perceptions about phubbing and being phubbed. The aim of this study is to find differences between Turkish Speaking Students’ Phubbing Behaviors according to education, job status, working status and gender. Statistical analysis showed that, all participants stated "they get rid of their stress by interacting with their phones”, though they do not mean to irritate others by focusing on their phones. Results also revealed that, Working participants are phubbed more compared to the Not Working and Retired participants.Keywords : Phubbing behavior, phubber, phubbee, statistics, smartphones
