Intergenerational Relations Changes and Satisfaction Associated to the ICTs UseCAMBIOS INTERGENERACIONALES ASOCIADOS A LAS TICS

Abstract

This article presents data from two samples of Catalan adolescents from 12 to 16 years and their parents in 2003 and 2008. The main aim is to explore the changing relationships between parents and their children and the impact that the use of ICT has on these changes. The results show that over the time there is a greater involvement of parents in communicating with their children about this issue, which involves no greater satisfaction of adolescents with such communication, possibly by the perception of lack of control that his/her father or mother has.
