The Use of Communication Technology in the Context of Adolescent and Family Development
Scholars across many academic fields have studied adolescence, family development, and technology use. As such, existing research has reflected the theoretical orientations of several different disciplines—disciplines that have generally operated in silos and without integration.

More specifically, the existing literature on f…
