The widespread and mobile access to new technologies has affected adolescents’ dailylives. They are labeled as digital natives or the n-generation (Tapscott, 2009). Prior studieshave argued that most adolescents squander their time in online communities and havereduced the amount of time spent in communicating with friends and family members inperson, and thus created negative effects such as Internet addiction, relational isolation, andfamily conflicts. The phase of adolescence in the process of human development is normallyfragile and sensitive and it requires much attention from parents to understand the importanceof communication technologies in family relationships.In addition, within the field of media effect, in recent years scholars have continuedto investigate the influences of new media technologies on media users, ranging from TV,personal computer, to Internet and mobile phones (Carvalho, Francisco, & Relvas, 2015).However, the communication contexts and content vary when compared to face to face andonline communication (Ledbetter, 2009b; Lundy & Drouin, 2016). The conclusions arenot capable of explaining the effects derived from new technologies and the consequencesof adolescence, such as the levels of relational satisfaction, intimacy and media usagepatterns. The family relationship of adolescents, measured by the frequency and durationof using the new technologies does not explain the interrelations of the family members,technology uses, and adolescents’ behavior. Different results have been published based onconstant evaluations of adolescents’ access to various technologies (Blackshaw, 2009; Boase,Horrigan, Wellman, & Rainie, 2006; Lenhart, Madden, Macgill, & Smith, 2005; Macgill,2007). According to a survey by Pew Internet Project in 2013, over half of adolescentsuse smartphones and spend more time online than with their parents (Madden, Lenhart,Duggan, Cortesi, & Gasser, 2013). Other studies also show both adolescents and parents’use of technologies are subject to the differences in gender, age, family income, and parents’education (Brown, Childers, Bauman, & Koch, 1999). More parents and adolescents regardnew technologies as a tool to communicate with others (Boase et al., 2006; Lenhart et al.,2005; Macgill, 2007; Madden et al., 2013; Schwartz, 2004), which motivate us to explorethis topic in detail.
