CIU Psychology majors present research on “phubbing” at major conference
April 23, 2024
Two СƵ Psychology majors along with their professor, presented important research at the Christian Association for Psychological Studies Conference this spring in Atlanta.
The presentation by seniors Tiara Battermann and Naomi Portugal and Psychology Professor Dr. Paula Whitaker, discussed “College Campus Belonging and the Phubbing Phenomenon.” Phubbing is phone snubbing — using your phone to avoid social interaction.
The trio was joined at the conference by Psychology majors Miles Raven, Trinity Spencer, and Ethan Speece, where they all experienced the networking and excitement that is a professional conference along with all of the educational seminars.
