| Mobile phone is ubiquitous in our life.Its wide use has greatly changed the way of communication between people,and also affected the development and quality of intimate relationship between partners to a certain extent.On the one hand,mobile phones can have positive effects,both parties can keep in touch through mobile phones,maintain and promote the development of intimate relationship between partners;On the other hand,when both partners are interacting together,looking down to use the phone distracts from the current conversation and can be a source of annoyance and relationship conflict.Using a phone during a conversation is known as phubbing,which refers to the behavior of focusing on one’s phone during a conversation rather than paying attention to the person you’re talking to.If this happens in a close relationship,it’s called partner phubbing.Previous studies have shown that there is a correlation between partner phubbing and intimate relationship satisfaction.This study try to explore the mechanism of partner phubbing on intimate relationship satisfaction,at the same time,according to the domestic and foreign research present situation introduced that self-esteem as a mediating variable,trait forgiveness as a moderating variable,to establish a moderated mediation model,and check whether the two variables in partner phubbing influence on intimate relationship satisfaction plays a mediation and moderation.In this study,561 college students were surveyed online using the Partner Phubbing Behavior Scale,Self-esteem Scale（SES）,Trait Forgiveness Scale（TFS）and Intimate Relationship Satisfaction Scale.SPSS 26.0 was used for descriptive statistical analysis,independent sample T test,one-way analysis of variance,correlation analysis and other variables to verify the demographic difference and the relationship between variables.SPSS macro program Process3.3 plug-in was used to analyze the mediating effect,moderating effect and moderated mediation effect,and the research results were as follows:（1）College students partner phubbing was in the lower middle level,and trait forgiveness was in the middle level,self-esteem and intimate relationship satisfaction are above average.（2）There are significant differences in gender,distance,grade and love duration,but there is no significant difference in family location.Among them,females perceive partner phubbing more than males;Undergraduates perceived partner phubbing higher than postgraduates.Non-only child partners had more phubbing than only child partners;The longer you were in a relationship,the more phubbing your partner did.（3）There are significant differences in the self-esteem of college students in grade and duration of love,but there are no significant differences in gender,family location,and long-distance.The self-esteem of graduate students is significantly higher than that of undergraduates.With the increase of love time,the level of self-esteem fluctuates,increasing first and then decreasing.（4）College students’ trait forgiveness has significant differences in family location,whether they have long distance and love duration,but there is no significant difference in gender and grade.The trait forgiveness level of only children was significantly lower than that of non-only children.The longer the relationship lasted,the higher the level of trait forgiveness.（5）There are significant differences in college students’ intimate relationship satisfaction in terms of gender,distance,grade and love duration,but there is no significant difference in family location.Male’s intimate relationship satisfaction is significantly higher than female.The intimate relationship satisfaction of postgraduates is significantly higher than that of undergraduates.The intimate relationship satisfaction of long-distance couples is higher than that of non-long-distance partners.The longer you’ve been in a relationship,the higher your relationship satisfaction.（6）There were significant correlations between partner phubbing,self-esteem,trait forgiveness and intimate relationship satisfaction of college students’ partners.There was a significant negative correlation between partner phubbing and self-esteem and intimate relationship satisfaction,and a significant positive correlation between self-esteem and trait forgiveness and intimate relationship satisfaction.（7）Self-esteem plays a partially mediating role in the relationship between partner phubbing and intimate relationship satisfaction.（8）Trait forgiveness plays a moderating role in the mediating effect of self-esteem on the relationship between partner phubbing and intimate relationship satisfaction.Above results indicate that college students’ partner phubbing can affect everyone intimate relationship satisfaction through self-esteem,and regulate self-esteem by trait forgiveness in partner phubbing mediation effect on the self-esteem and relationship satisfaction.According to the research results,partner phubbing is negatively correlated with intimate relationship satisfaction,and partner phubbing can significantly negatively predict intimate relationship satisfaction,which is consistent with previous research results.Although self-esteem and trait forgiveness can significantly predict relationship satisfaction positively,but overall,in order to improve college students’ intimate relationship satisfaction,partner phubbing as a variable of volatility,especially in the study with the help of social exchange theory and social theory of meter,as a result,if their partner phubbing is higher,the individual’s self-esteem level will reduce,that in turn reduces relationship satisfaction.Therefore,in the context of ubiquitous smartphones,reducing partner phubbing head behavior is the entry point to improve relationship satisfaction. |
