There\u2019s a good chance that, at some point in the last few years, you\u2019ve read or discussed Baylor research in \u201cphone snubbing\u201d<\/a> (or the more headline-friendly term \u201cphubbing\u201d), describing the habits of individuals more preoccupied with their phones than the people around them. The highly-relatable research has been covered by everyone<\/a> from NBC’s TODAY<\/em> to Time<\/em> magazine — even Saturday Night Live<\/em>‘s “Weekend Update.”<\/p>\n One of the professors behind that research is Dr. Meredith David<\/a>, assistant professor of marketing in Baylor\u2019s Hankamer School of Business. David is a nationally-recognized consumer behavior expert whose forays into phubbing only scratch the surface of the variety of applications for her research.<\/p>\n A Baylor professor since 2014, David has already built a national reputation as a leader in consumer behavior, wellbeing, relationships, the interpersonal effects of technology, consumer goods and more. She\u2019s done that through research that leverages common experiences to yield new insights. Examples include:<\/p>\n Much of David\u2019s research has been done in partnership with Dr. James Roberts<\/a>, Baylor’s Ben H. Williams Professor of Marketing, and their research into phubbing has been a signature focus, covered in outlets like the Washington Post<\/a><\/em>, Women\u2019s Health<\/a><\/em>, and more. Their varied research threads into the phenomenon have found that that phubbing can lead to dissatisfaction in romantic relationships<\/a>, create a \u201cvicious cycle<\/a>\u201d in which snubbed partners turn to their own phones to find acceptance, and even lead to depression<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sic \u2019em, Dr. David!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There\u2019s a good chance that, at some point in the last few years, you\u2019ve read or discussed Baylor research in \u201cphone snubbing\u201d (or the more headline-friendly term \u201cphubbing\u201d), describing the habits of individuals more preoccupied with their phones than the people around them.
