To examine the reliability and validity of revised Parental Phubbing Scale (PPS) and measure the level of parental phubbing, 701 Chinese children aged 3-6 years and their parents were investigated. The results indicated that: (1) the construct validity of the PPS was supported by the best-fit one-factor model; (2) concurrent validity was established by demonstrating that the PPS was positively related to parental smartphone addiction; (3) the PPS was positively correlated with authoritarian parenting style, established the predictive validity; (4) internal reliability was satisfactory. The results also showed that fathers' and mothers' phubbing were at the intermediate level; moreover, phubbing levels were highest among parents aged 31-40. The findings conclude that PPS can be used as a reliable and valid measure to evaluate parents' phubbing and also highlight the need for further research on mothers' and fathers' phubbing.
