Phubbing

Phubbing is a term coined as part of a campaign by Macquarie Dictionary to describe the habit of snubbing someone in favour of a mobile phone. In May 2012, the advertising agency behind the campaign, McCann, had invited a number of lexicographers, authors, and poets to coin a neologism to describe the behaviour.

每日一詞 ：Phubbing |戒斷手機成癮，拒做“低頭族”

你是整天都與手機難分難捨的“低頭族”嗎？

我們的生活似乎正備手機吞噬。作為手機的重度使用者，時報科技專欄作者Kevin Roose為“手機成癮症”及相關負面影響而困擾。他寫道：“心理學家將這種行為命名為'低頭症'(phubbing) ，也就是你為了手機而冷落某人。”

Phubbing一詞是phone（手機）與snubbing（冷落、怠慢）的組合詞。 phubbing意指忽略你身邊的人、只關心手機的行為；其衍生詞phubber即人們常說的“低頭族”。對“phubber”群體而言，過度使用手機消解了他們的注意力。對此，Roose分享了他的應對方案 。
