“Parent-Child Interactions in the Digital Age”
Increasingly, young people's social connections are occurring not just face to face, but through mobile phones and online. Dr. Jensen's research recognizes this shift in communication patterns; she is utilizing mobile phones and the wealth of information contained therein in to elucidate the role of technology in relationship maintenance, mental health, and substance use among young people and to assess and uncover social-communication processes that researchers often struggle to accurately assess via traditional self-report. This talk will focus on the intersections of ubiquitous digital connections and the parent-child relationship across adolescence and into young adulthood.
