The Defining the Relationship Study aimed to gather information from teens aged 15 to 17 about their use of "defining the relationship" conversations in their romantic relationships. Very little information existed about defining the relationship talks prior to this research, so this study used an exploratory approach to gather descriptive data about defining the relationship talks. Therefore, it was important to recruit a sample that appropriately represented diverse teens across the United States, and I used a variety of strategies to meet that goal. I obtained a waiver of parent permission and used Facebook advertising as an efficient, cost-effective way to reach teens who were interested in participating in this research study; because the vast majority of U.S. teens use Facebook, this method allowed me to recruit a diverse sample of teens from across the United States. I collected data using an online self-report survey that was accessible on a computer, tablet, or smartphone to make the study available to all teens regardless of geographic location or socioeconomic status. To minimize self-selection bias, I used a quota sampling procedure to ensure that we recruited appropriate numbers of participants of relevant demographic identities into the sample. These methods allowed me to obtain a diverse, nationwide sample of 435 teens and to discover new information about the role that defining the relationship talks play in teens' lives.

"The first generation of children who were born into and raised in the digital world are coming of age and reshaping the world in their image. Our economy, our politics, our culture, and even the shape of our family life are being transformed. But who are these wired young people? And what is the world they're creating going to look like? In this revised and updated edition, leading Internet and technology experts John Palfrey and Urs Gasser offer a cutting-edge sociological portrait of these young people, who can seem, even to those merely a generation older, both extraordinarily sophisticated and strangely narrow. Exploring a broad range of issues--privacy concerns, the psychological effects of information overload, and larger ethical issues raised by the fact that young people's social interactions, friendships, and civic activities are now mediated by digital technologies--Born Digital is essential reading for parents, teachers, and the myriad of confused adults who want to understand the digital present and shape the digital future."--
