Abstract: The purpose of this presentation is to present the findings of a research study that examined undergraduate college students’ use of communication technologies, the amount of time they spend each week communicating with parents, and the quality of attachment to their parents. The relationship between the amount of weekly communication with parents and the quality of parental attachment among college students will also be included in the presentation.
