Abstract This study examines the impact of partner phubbing, gaslighting, and conflict resolution styles on relationship satisfaction among married and romantic heterosexual adults. A quantitative research method was used, with data collected from 357 participants via Google Forms. Four standardized instruments were employed: the Couple Satisfaction Index (CSI-4), Partner Phubbing Scale, Gaslighting Relationship Exposure Inventory (GREI), and Conflict Resolution Styles Inventory (CRSI). Results revealed significant negative correlations between relationship satisfaction and gaslighting (r = -0.531), partner phubbing (r = -0.204), and conflict resolution styles (r = -0.410). Gaslighting positively correlated with partner phubbing (r = 0.489) and conflict styles (r = 0.446). Regression analysis identified gaslighting as a significant negative predictor of relationship satisfaction (β = -0.259, p < .001), while the other variables were not. Differences between married and romantic heterosexual adults were significant, with married individuals reporting higher satisfaction and lower phubbing and gaslighting. The study highlights the importance of addressing digital distractions and emotional abuse in relationship counseling.
