Popis: Listening in mediated contexts has become part of our daily routines with the growth of mobile device ownership and subsequent usage. Qualitatively, this study seeks to understand how listening occurs through mobile devices within family communication. In analyzing the data, three noteworthy themes were identified: noise, listening through posts, and inappropriate content. These themes were discussed through the lens of the Family Systems Theory and the noise component of the Transactional Communication Model. Relevant findings and participant insights offer growth and increased awareness over previous literature, current relevancy, and future opportunities to diversify and grow the research.
