Smartphone use undermines enjoyment of face-to-face social interactions (2017, background): “Thus, researchers have theorized that the mere presence of phones may orient people away from their immediate social environment, potentially decreasing enjoyment of social interactions (Przybylski & Weinstein, 2012; Srivastava, 2005).”
How "phubbing" becomes the norm: The antecedents and consequences of snubbing via smartphone (2016, background): “…smartphone checking is also associated with interpersonal relationship problems such as inhibition of interpersonal closeness and trust development (Przybylski & Weinstein, 2013), interference of other social activities (Walsh, White, & Young, 2008), and insecurity in romantic relationships (Kuss…”

The Digital Workforce and the Workplace of the Future (2016, methodology): “Again, this is problematic because the mere presence of a cell phone during a face-to-face conversation reduces ratings of closeness, trust, and relationship quality, even when the phone is not used during the conversation (Przybylski & Weinstein, 2013).”
It Isn’t Always Mutual (2015, background): “This proposition was tested by Przybylski and Weinstein (2013), who found that the mere presence of a cell phone during relationship development diminished trust between partners.”
