This study investigates the association between young adult partner phubbing and relationship satisfaction, with a focus on the mediating role of attachment anxiety and the moderating role of constructive conflict coping styles (voice or loyalty). Understanding these dynamics is crucial for enhancing relationship satisfaction among young adults.
A sample of 837 undergraduate students (376 male students; average age 21.02 ± 1.931 years) was recruited to complete questionnaires assessing young adult partner phubbing, relationship satisfaction, attachment anxiety, and constructive conflict coping styles. The data were analyzed to explore the mediating and moderating effects within the proposed model.
The findings revealed that young adult partner phubbing was negatively associated with relationship satisfaction. This relationship was mediated by attachment anxiety, indicating that higher levels of phubbing increased attachment anxiety, which in turn decreased relationship satisfaction. Additionally, the relationship between attachment anxiety and relationship satisfaction was moderated by constructive conflict coping styles, suggesting that individuals who employed voice or loyalty coping strategies experienced a less pronounced negative impact on their relationship satisfaction.
This study enhances our understanding of the mechanisms through which partner phubbing affects relationship satisfaction. The findings highlight the importance of addressing attachment anxiety and promoting constructive conflict coping strategies to mitigate the negative effects of phubbing. Practical implications for improving relationship satisfaction among young adult partners are discussed, emphasizing the need for interventions that foster healthy communication and conflict resolution skills.
本研究调查了年轻成年伴侣间的手机冷落行为与关系满意度之间的关联，重点关注依恋焦虑的中介作用以及建设性冲突应对方式（表达或忠诚）的调节作用。理解这些动态关系对于提高年轻人的关系满意度至关重要。
招募了837名本科生样本（376名男学生；平均年龄21.02±1.931岁），以完成评估年轻成年伴侣手机冷落行为、关系满意度、依恋焦虑和建设性冲突应对方式的问卷。对数据进行分析，以探讨所提出模型中的中介和调节效应。
研究结果表明，年轻成年伴侣间的手机冷落行为与关系满意度呈负相关。这种关系由依恋焦虑介导，表明更高水平的手机冷落行为会增加依恋焦虑，进而降低关系满意度。此外，依恋焦虑与关系满意度之间的关系受到建设性冲突应对方式的调节，这表明采用表达或忠诚应对策略的个体对其关系满意度的负面影响较小。
本研究增进了我们对伴侣手机冷落行为影响关系满意度机制的理解。研究结果强调了解决依恋焦虑和促进建设性冲突应对策略以减轻手机冷落行为负面影响的重要性。讨论了对提高年轻成年伴侣关系满意度的实际意义，强调了培养健康沟通和冲突解决技能的干预措施的必要性。
