ABSTRACT
Phubbing is the act of ignoring the people and surrounding in order to check your phone. Phubbing has been associated with various forms of addictions, personality traits and psychological well-being. This study aims to understand the relationship between social anxiety, coping and phubbing. Data was collected from a sample of 100 college students, a group which could be high on phubbing, using reliable and valid scales of phubbing, social anxiety and coping skills. The results indicate that phubbing, is positively related to social anxiety. Phubbing is also negatively related to coping skills. Coping skills were negatively related to social anxiety. The study concludes that the higher the coping skills, the lesser the social anxiety and the lesser the phubbing.
