Abstract
El phubbing puede ser considerado como una conducta inadecuada y hasta ofensiva debido a que se desaíra al interlocutor en una interacción cara a cara. Por ser un fenómeno moderno, su estudio es relevante y contar con una escala válida y confiable es una necesidad. El objetivo del estudio fue demostrar las propiedades psicométricas de la escala de phubbing en universitarios peruanos; participaron 380 encuestados de Lima, Perú que estudiaban alguna carrera universitaria, con edades entre 18 a 45 años (DE=4.46), el 61.05% varones y el 38.95% mujeres. El AFC demostró la estructura bifactorial (trastorno de la comunicación y obsesión por el teléfono) y el modelo obtuvo buenos índices de ajuste (χ²/df=1.59, CFI=.992, TLI=.990, NFI=.980 y RMSEA= .040); el AFC de segundo orden encontró un factor general y la invarianza factorial confirmó que el modelo es estable en varones y mujeres. Finalmente, se obtuvieron altos coeficientes Alfa y Omega para la confiabilidad.
Abstrac Phubbing can be considered inappropriate and even offensive behavior, as it disregards the interlocutor during face-to-face interactions. As a modern phenomenon, its study is highly relevant, and the availability of a valid and reliable scale is essential. This study aimed to demonstrate the psychometric properties of a phubbing scale among Peruvian university students. The study involved 380 respondents from Lima, Peru, enrolled in university education programs, aged 18 to 45 (SD = 4.46); 61.05% were male, and 38.95% female. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) supported a two-factor structure (communication disruption and phone obsession), with the model showing good fit indices (χ²/df = 1.59, CFI = .992, TLI = .990, NFI = .980, RMSEA = .040). A second-order CFA revealed a general factor, and factorial invariance confirmed the model's stability between males and females. Finally, high Cronbach's alpha and Omega coefficients demonstrated strong reliability.
