This study explores the influence of phubbing (phone snubbing) on self-esteem among the adolescents. The research investigates how various dimensions of phubbing, including nomophobia, interpersonal conflict, self-isolation, and problem acknowledgment, affect adolescents’ self-worth. Employing a quantitative research methodology, the study used regression analysis to examine the influence of phubbing on self-esteem. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed using a sample of 400 adolescents (equally divided by gender), aged 13-18 years, from Bihar, India. The study employed two validated tools: Generic Scale of Phubbing developed by Chotpitayasunondh, V., & Douglas, K. M. (2018) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale developed by Rosenberg, M. (1965). Results revealed that phubbing has a significant negative impact on self-esteem, with specific dimensions like interpersonal conflict and problem acknowledgment contributing notably to the variance.
