Phone, Text, Media; Different types of communication methods/media and their influence on father daughter relationship satisfaction

Presenter(s)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to see how methods/media of communication affect the satisfaction of father daughter relationships. I am looking to see if different media or methods increase satisfaction levels when it comes to father daughter relationships. For the literature reviewed it has been found that father-daughter communication is a big part of how daughters form relationships in the future with other people. It has also been found also that when fathers have a more open method of communication with their daughters, the daughters are less likely to be anxious and they are more likely to have better communication. Kim et al., (2015) suggest that when looking at different types of communication most research had been done on face-to-face communication rather than any other media types because texting and social media are still new and people are s starting to study these topics. When it comes to satisfaction of relationships I have found many different types of articles on this topic. What stood out most in this study was that when it comes to satisfaction of relationships people can have different levels of satisfaction for the same relationship (Punyanunt-Carter, 2007). People can have different levels of satisfaction because satisfaction is based on whether people meet someone else's expectations in the relationship. So if people have different expectations they will have different levels of satisfaction based on what the other person is doing.
