Öz
Purpose: Personality traits that distinguish the individual from others can be shown as one of the most important reasons of the individual's behavior. In this study, it was aimed to determine the predictive effect of personality traits on phubbing by considering the relationship between phubbing and personality traits (extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, and openness).
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study group of the research consisted of 1186 [Female: 642 (54.1%), Male: 544 (45.9%)] individuals living in different provinces of Turkey. Simple random sampling method was used in the study. The ages of the participants were range from 15-70 (Mean ± sd = 31.24 ± 11.38). The research data were collected using Phubbing Scale, Adjective Based Personality Test and Personal Information Form. Descriptive statistics, t-test, One-Way Anova, Pearson correlation, and hierarchical regression were used in the analysis of the research data.
Findings: According to the findings obtained from the study, there was no significant relationship between phubbing and extraversion. While there was a significant positive relationship between phubbing with neuroticism and openness. There were negative relationships between phubbing with conscientiousness and agreeableness. According to the preliminary analysis, while gender did not differentiate phubbing scores significantly; marital status, educational level and age significantly differentiated phubbing scores. According to the results of the hierarchical regression analysis, it has been found that conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, and openness were predictors of phubbing.
Highlights: Personality traits are an important factor that needs to be addressed in order to understand phubbing behavior. The research findings were discussed in terms of literature and suggestions are made.
