Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between phubbing and life satisfaction among students. The sample population consisted of all 14000 students at Kharazmi University during the academic year 2023-2024, and the research method was descriptive-correlational. Convenience sampling was employed to select a sample of 257 students, with 153 women and 104 males. The Generic Scale of Phubbing (GSP), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) were utilized as research instruments. SPSS-27 and Amos Graphics-24 software were employed to conduct the analysis, which involved the Pearson correlation test and structural equation modeling. The findings revealed a negative and significant relationship between phubbing and self-efficacy, as well as between phubbing and life satisfaction. Additionally, a significant positive correlation was observed between self-efficacy and life satisfaction. The indirect relationship between phubbing and life satisfaction through self-efficacy was significant at the 0.01 level in the current study. The findings underscore the critical importance of enhancing students’ understanding of the detrimental and detrimental consequences of this emerging phenomenon, as well as the endeavors of psychotherapists and counselors in this field.
