| Abstract | Being a technology-driven and triggered world, individuals need to remain virtually connected. But sometimes such virtual connections lead the individuals towards phubbing because of which relational satisfaction among the individuals has been lost. The purpose of our study is to analyze the impact of the individual attachment styles on relationship satisfaction by the mediating role of phubbing behavior. In light of Bowlby attachments styles, our study conceptualizes that secured individuals are contented with their surroundings hence phub less, and remain contended in their relationships. Whereas the insecurely attached individuals are the ones who phubbed more which ultimately leads them towards less relationship satisfaction. The present study is the first to conceptualize such a framework. |
