Abstract
Background: Intimacy is essential in a dating relationship, but phubbing behaviour can be hindrance which can ultimately interfere with romantic relationship satisfaction. Phubbing behaviour is ignoring other people by playing on mobile phones. Purpose: This study aims to determine the relationship between phubbing behaviour and romantic relationship satisfaction in early adulthood who are dating. Methods: Used the quantitative correlational method. Determination of the sample using the incidental sampling method involved as many as 107 early adult respondents aged 18-40 years and currently undergoing a dating relationship for at least six months in all regions of Indonesia. The instruments in this study were the Relationship Assessment Scale to measure romantic relationship satisfaction and the Generic Scale of Phubbing to measure phubbing behaviour. This study used the Spearman correlation test. Results: Showed that the correlation coefficient was -0.135 with a significance of 0.083 (p>0.05), meaning that phubbing behaviour has no significant negative relationship with romantic relationship satisfaction in early adulthood dating. Conclusion: Phubbing behaviour is not related to romantic relationship satisfaction. Most respondents have phubbing behaviour and romantic relationship satisfaction at a moderate level.
