| Abstract | The popularity of communication technologies such as text messaging, e-mail, instant messaging, and social networking sites has grown exponentially, especially among adolescents. At the scale of growth along with the pressures and normative use of communication technology, psychological effects of these technologies need to be further assessed.The purpose of this study was to determine if technology usage and preference for using communication technology in social situations are related to adolescent development in regard to peer relationships, identity development, and psychological adjustment.Participants (N = 268; 69 % female; 81.9 % White) from three public high schools were surveyed in their classroom.Time spent using communication technology was associated with less relationship avoidance, but greater internalizing symptom severity, identity distress, existential anxiety, and peer aggression. Preference for using technology for interpersonal communication was associated with greater peer aggression, relationship anxiety, and existential anxiety. Those with a preoccupied attachment style (high in relationship anxiety, but low in relationship avoidance) reported the most time using communication technology. Communication technology usage was not related to identity exploration, commitment, or status, but it did predict psychological symptom severity over and above the identity and relationship variables.Communication technology usage was found to be related to identity and relationship problems, and was linked to greater maladjustment, even after controlling for identity and relationship difficulties. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
