Abstract(s)
Os telemóveis desempenham um papel importante nas relações pessoais e
profissionais, contudo, a sua utilização excessiva, abusiva ou inadequada pode ter um
efeito negativo nestas mesmas relações. Vários autores têm desenvolvido instrumentos
para avaliar o Phubbing que consiste no facto de uma pessoa utilizar/olhar para o seu
telemóvel durante uma interação real com outra pessoa. Este estudo tem por finalidade
adaptar e validar a Generic Scale of Being Phubbed para a população portuguesa,
estabelecendo a validade convergente dos instrumentos com outros que avaliassem
construtos parecidos como a Partner Phubbing Scale e o Nomophobia Questionnaire; e
averiguar as diferenças e/ou relações entre as variáveis sociodemográficas, as variáveis
de utilização do telemóvel e a Generic Scale of Being Phubbed. A versão portuguesa da
Generic Scale of Being Phubbed manteve a estrutura proposta pelos autores da versão
original. As correlações obtidas pela escala com outros instrumentos asseguraram a
validade convergente. Foram encontradas diferenças nos valores da escala de acordo
com algumas variáveis sociodemográficas (idade, género, estado civil, estatuto
relacional, ter ou não filhos, número de anos de escolaridade e estatuto profissional) e
algumas variáveis de utilização do telemóvel (anos de utilização do telemóvel e
frequência em minutos por dia da utilização do telemóvel).
Mobile phones play an important role in maintaining personal and professional relationships, however, their excessive, abusive or inappropriate use can have a negative effect on these same interpersonal relationships. Several authors have developed tools to evaluate Phubbing which consists of a person using/looking at their phone during a real interaction with another person. This study aims to adapt and validate the Generic Scale of Being Phubbed for the Portuguese population, establishing the convergent validity of instruments with others that evaluate similar constructs such as the Partner Phubbing Scale and the Nomophobia Questionnaire; and to investigate the differences and/or relationships between sociodemographic variables, mobile phone usage variables and the Generic Scale of Being Phubbed. The Portuguese version of the Generic Scale of Being Phubbed maintained the structure proposed by the authors of the original version. The correlations obtained by the scale with other instruments ensured convergent validity. Differences were found in the scale values according to some sociodemographic variables (age, gender, marital status, relational status, having or not children, number of years of schooling and professional status) and some variables of mobile phone use (years of mobile phone use and frequency in minutes per day of mobile phone use).
