Perceived phubbing atau pengabaian yang dirasakan seseorang pada saat teman menggunakan smartphone selama interaksi sosial berlangsung dapat mengarah kepada menurunnya friendship quality. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara Perceived phubbing dengan Friendship Quality pada mahasiswa di Kota Banda Aceh. Sejumlah 341 mahasiswa dengan rentang usia 17-26 tahun dari lima universitas di Kota Banda Aceh terpilih sebagai responden penelitian melalui metode non-probability sampling dan teknik accidental sampling. Penelitian ini mengadaptasi alat ukur perceived phubbing Scale dari David dan Robert (2020) untuk variabel perceived phubbing dan friendship quality Scale (FQUA) dari Thien, Razak dan Jamil (2012) untuk variabel friendship quality. Data penelitian dianalisis menggunakan Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation untuk uji hipotesis penelitian. Hasil dari analisis penelitian mendapatkan nilai koefisien kolerasi sebesar r=0,100 serta nilai signifikansi (p) = 0,065 (p>0,05). Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan antara perceived phubbing dengan friendship quality pada mahasiswa. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kualitas pertemanan tidak berkaitan dengan pengabaian yang dirasakan individu saat teman menggunakan smartphone, namun demikian terdapat beberapa variabel lain yang berperan sebagai mediator antara perceived phubbing dengan friendship quality seperti agreeableness, neuroticism, dan kepribadian.

Perceived phubbing or neglect that a person feels when a friend uses a smartphone during social interaction can lead to a decline in the quality of friendship. This research aims to determine the relationship between Perceived phubbing and friendship quality among college students in Banda Aceh City. A total of 341 students with an age range of 17-26 years from five universities in Banda Aceh City were selected as research respondents using non-probability sampling methods and accidental sampling techniques. This research adapts the Perceived Phubbing Scale measuring tool from David and Robert (2020) for the Perceived Phubbing variable and the Friendship Quality Scale (FQUA) from Thien, Razak and Jamil (2012) for the Friendship Quality variable. Research data was analyzed using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation to test the research hypothesis. The results of the research analysis obtained a correlation coefficient value of r=0.100 and a significance value (p) = 0.065 (p>0.05). These results indicate that there is no relationship between perceived phubbing and friendship quality among college students. This research shows that the quality of friendship is not related to the neglect that individuals feel when friends use smartphones, however there are several other variables that act as mediators between perceptions of phubbing and friendship quality such as agreeableness, neuroticism, and personality.
