SOCIAL MEDIA USE, PHUBBING, MARITAL SATISFACTION AMONG MARRIED EMPLOYEES WORKING IN SOFTWARE HOUSES

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between social media use, phubbing behavior, and marital satisfaction among married employees in software houses. A sample of 110 participants completed self-report questionnaires assessing social media use, phubbing behavior, and marital satisfaction. Multiple regression analysis revealed a significant negative relationship between social media use and marital satisfaction, as well as between phubbing behavior and marital satisfaction. The findings suggest that excessive social media use and phubbing behavior can potentially harm marital relationships. The study's results have implications for couples, mental health professionals, and relationship counselors, highlighting the need for awareness and strategies to mitigate the negative effects of social media use and phubbing on marital relationships.
