WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Fabbing Addiction Questionnaire, GSP Test

Phubbing Addiction Questionnaire (GSP) Test

This self-report measure assesses behaviors and experiences related to phone-related interpersonal distraction during in-person interactions. The Phubbing Addiction Questionnaire (GSP) is intended to help characterize both one’s tendency to attend to a mobile device while with others and one’s reactions to being treated similarly by others.

The instrument contains 37 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Items are commonly organized to capture two complementary perspectives: engagement in phubbing behaviors and perceived discomfort or neglect when others focus on their phone during conversation.

Results from the Phubbing Addiction Questionnaire (GSP) may be used in clinical or research settings to inform discussion of technology use in relationships and its potential impact on communication. The version referenced is attributed to psytests.org (2024).
