"Explanation of cell phone necessity reduces feelings of being ignored."
Mobile phone time, place, and manner influence how people interpret priorities. Phubbing is defined as ignoring present interaction partners in favor of mobile phone activities. When someone is visibly focused on a device, the interaction partner may be perceived as less important. Phubbing reduces perceptions of warmth, competence, and likability. It can also create feelings of social exclusion and harm relationship quality across romantic, conversational, and parent-child contexts. Providing an explanation for cell phone necessity reduces negative feelings associated with being ignored, improving how the interaction is interpreted.
