When you're with your friends, how long can you make it before one of you pulls out your phone? You're just responding to texts, of course, or, maybe checking the likes from your last post. Most of us do it all day every day. But research shows jumping onto social media when you're with friends IRL may have a detrimental impact on your connection. There's even a newish term for this,“technopherence”– technology based interference. And specifically, when “technopherence” disrupts your time with friends, it's called “phubbing” – “snubbing [friends] in order to focus your attention on your phone” (Degges-White, 2022). To continue our series on Phones and Relationships, my BFF and Love & Life alum, Miriam Conner, joins me to discuss how we can remain present with our friends and cultivate deep intimacy despite the ubiquity of technology. Join us to hear the research and learn 3 key tips for managing phones and friendships!
