Background And Aims: The study aimed to determine the relationship between phubbing behavior and its association with depression, anxiety, and stress among college students of the School of Rehabilitation at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This cross-sectional survey design used a self-reported questionnaire that included demographic data, DASS21, and a phubbing scale. The Generic Scale of Phubbing was administered to 320 students from four fields of school of Rehabilitation at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. Data analysis was done using the 22nd SPSS software version. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Spearman correlation, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used for analysis.
Results: According to the non-parametric tests, the study revealed a significant association between mental health components and the primary study variables. Specifically, there was a statistically significant positive correlation ( < 0.05) between all components of mental health (depression, anxiety, and stress) and phubbing. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation ( < 0.05) was identified between all dimensions of phubbing (nomophobia, conflict, self-isolation, and problem confirmation) and the components of mental health.
Conclusion: The final results indicate that 15% of the total variation in phubbing phubbing can be attributed to the variables of depression and educational background. We suggest that phubbing behavior is linked to lower levels of well-being and mental health.

Excessive use of social media (SM) platforms and digital technology (DT), often driven by habitual scrolling due to adaptive feed experiences, has been linked to anxiety, sleep disturbances, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors while also exacerbating mental health concerns. Yet, the role of "digital detox", defined as a voluntary reduction or temporary cessation of device use, remains only partially understood as both a clinical and lifestyle intervention. This comprehensive scoping review was conducted to consolidate existing research on digital detox interventions and evaluate contextual factors that may influence their effectiveness for mental health and well-being.

The results of the between-subjects 2 × 2 experimental study show that female observers perceive lower conversation quality when observing phubbing than male observers, aligning with the need-threat model's assertion of female susceptibility to social exclusion. Moreover, observing phubbing diminishes perceived appropriateness of the interaction.
