Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?
It measures phone-related distraction in face-to-face interactions. It assesses both engagement in phone snubbing and distress when others do it.
How is the questionnaire structured?
Items are divided into two sections: behaviors of using the phone during conversations and reactions to being ignored due to someone else’s phone use. Scores describe each section separately.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Completion time is about 7 minutes. The questionnaire includes 37 items.
How should items be answered?
Select the response that best reflects typical behavior and feelings over recent weeks. Answer all items and avoid spending excessive time on any single item.
How should results be interpreted and used?
Higher scores indicate more frequent phone snubbing and/or greater discomfort when it occurs. Results support screening and treatment planning but do not provide a standalone diagnosis.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Fabbing Addiction Questionnaire, GSP Test

Phubbing Addiction Questionnaire (GSP) Test - Symptoms and Signs

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).
