Escala de Phubbing para Relacionamentos Amorosos: Evidências de Adequação Psicométrica.

This work was organized in two studies and aimed at adapting and validating the Partner Phubbing Scale for the Brazilian reality. Study 1 had the participation of 233 people in a romantic relationship, 52,4% were female, with an average age of 30,9 years (min. 18, max. 62 and SD = 9.23) while Study 2 had 217 people also in a romantic relationship, 62,2% were female, with an average age of 25 years (min. 18, max. 53 and SD = 5,98). In both studies, respondents answered the Partner Phubbing Scale and sociodemographic questions. The results of Study 1 were at the exploratory level evidencing the unidimensionality of the instrument with an internal consistency of 0,90. In Study 2, the confirmatory factor analysis evidenced a good fit of the one-dimensional model (CFI = 0,99; TLI = 0,99; e RMSEA (IC 90%) = 0,033) with reliability of 0,88. The data suggests that the Partner Phubbing Scale is suitable for future research on the phubbing partner, given its adequacy to the psychometric parameters investigated at two different times.
