Abstract

In this study, the Phubbing Scale was used to determine the level of phubbing and the 10-Item Personality Inventory was used to determine personality traits. Analyses were conducted with Chi-squared test and Logistic Regression Analysis. Statistical significance value was accepted as p < 0.05. The study group consisted of 654 (75.3%) female students and 215 (24.7%) male students. Their age ranged from 18 to 44 with a mean age of 21.37 ± 2.97 years. The prevalence of phubbing was found to be 7.9% in this study. Important risk factors for phubbing are being a woman, having an extended family, having an average duration of daily smartphone use of 6 hours and more and agreeableness personality trait. The most commonly used social media apps by the students were WhatsApp (29.6%), Instagram (25.9%) and YouTube (23.6%).In conclusion, more comprehensive studies are needed to reveal the relationship between personality types and sociotelism.
