Objective:To explore the dynamic relationship between college students' online psychological needs satisfaction dominance(OPNSD)and phubbing.OPNSD refers to the tendency of individuals to fulfill their basic psychological needs primarily through online environments.Methods:A sample of 340 college students from a university in Beijing participated in two data collections(T1 and T2)at 3-month intervals.OPNSD was calculated as the difference between scores on the Need Satisfaction Perceived Online Scale(NSPOS)and the Basic Need Sat-isfaction in General Scale(BNSGS).Phubbing and its 4 dimensions(self-isolation,nomophobia,interpersonal con-flict,and problem acknowledgment)were measured with the Generic Scale of Phubbing(GSP).A cross-lagged panel model was used to explore the relationship between the online psychological needs satisfaction dominance and phubbing.Results:Significant simultaneous(r=0.60,P＜0.001)and successive temporal(r=0.56,P＜0.001)correlations were observed between the OPNSD score and GSP score.T1 OPNSD score was positively associated with T2 GSP score in the dimensions of self-isolation,nomophobia,and interpersonal conflict(β=0.14,0.10,0.11;P＜0.001 or P＜0.05),but showed no association with the problem acknowledgement dimension score(β=0.07,P＞0.05).However,the four dimensions of T1 GSP score were not associated with T2 OPNSD score(Ps＞0.05).Conclusion:This study suggests that college students' online psychological needs satisfaction dominance positively predicts phubbing,highlighting the critical influence of online environments on mobile phone behaviors.
