Abstract

Impulsive individuals may be more vulnerable to phubbing behavior, which can result in cognitive failures. Consequently, it can seriously disrupt one’s professional life. This study aimed to investigate how phubbing affects a person’s cognition including perception, memory and motor functioning. Sample consisted of working individuals from different institutes of Faisalabad Divisionsin Punjab, Pakistan (N = 200). A cross-sectional research design and purposive sampling technique was used to collect data. 'The Phubbing Scale' developed by Karadağ et al. (2015) and‘The Cognitive Assessment Questionnaire’ by Broadbent et al. (1982) were used. The findings indicated that phubbing has a profound impact on cognitive abilities among impulsive adults in work settings. This investigation focused exclusively on impulsive individuals. Future studies should incorporate a sample with more diverse characteristics. It underscores the need for awareness about impulsivity, its impact on phubbing behaviors and their adversities on cognitive functioning, especially for those who are in their professional lives.
