Technological advancements have altered the way parenting is being done in the current era. Moreover, these advancements in technology and interactions with technological devices have increased during the Covid-19 pandemic, when parents had become habituated to them as the only source of remaining in connected with their jobs, families, friends, and recreational pursuits. This increase in parental technoference/phubbing has been argued to be linked with negative consequences on a child’s psychological well-being. As a result, this study focuses on exploring the influence of parental technoference/phubbing which leads to parental neglect and influences child psychological well-being. In doing so, the study conducts a bibliometric analysis on the Scopus database to gather articles that are analysed using the VOSviewer software. More precisely, the analysis is based on 1,401 articles that are published in the 2020–2024 period in Scopus database so as to identify the emergence of parental technoference/phubbing on a Child’s psychological well-being. From the visualisation analysis, three main clusters (i.e., Red, Blue and Green) are generated. The blue clusters showcase the topics that are related to parenting and parent-child relationships. The green clusters showcase the topics that are related to mobile phone addiction and internet addiction disorders. The red clusters highlight topics related to the effects of parental technoference/phubbing on a child's psychological well-being, including anxiety, depression, fear of missing out, loneliness, and fear. Moreover, overlay visualisation analysis shows that studies on internet addiction disorder, fear of missing out (FoMo), and disruption in parent-child relationships caused by Covid-19 are the most commonly cited topics among those published in the Scopus database. In addition, the review also showcases the underlying theoretical lenses that are linked to each of these dimensions of technoference and parental neglect, both of which have a direct impact on the child's psychological well-being. Finally, the paper concludes with suggestions for mindful parenting practises while using technological devices effectively in their daily lives.
