与传统的电话、书信等人际沟通媒介相比，数字媒介具有空前的互动性、随身性、 多媒体性，这为我们的人际互动创造了新的交流情境，重新构造了当前的家庭及社会关 系模式。在这新模式构建进程中，“成人初显期”是一个至关重要的时期。本研究使用 扎根理论的方法，基于来自亲子双方对偶的访谈数据，以沟通隐私管理理论为基础，探 讨了在地理位置上处于两地分隔状态下的成人初显期子女及其父母之间利用微信、QQ 等数字媒介进行沟通的进程及其影响。在这个进程中，亲子双方围绕彼此的隐私边界进 行互动、协商和调整，而数字媒介在其间扮演了相当重要的角色。本文对家庭沟通的进 程提出了理论框架，并基于沟通隐私管理理论对这一进程进行了初步的阐释。

Digital media has unprecedented features of interactivity, portability and multimedia, which creates a new communicative situation for our interpersonal interaction and reconstructs the current model of family and social relationships, compared to traditional media of interpersonal communication such as telephones, letters, etc. In the process of building this new model, "emerging adulthood" is a very crucial period. Based on the interviews with parents and children and communication privacy management theory, he study uses the grounded theory method to explore the process and effects of communication between the emerging adults and their parents who communicate through WeChat, QQ and other digital media while they are separated geographically. During the process, the children and their parents focus on the boundaries of privacy to interact, negotiate and adjust each other while the digital media has played a signifcant role. This study puts forward the theoretical framework of the process of family communication, and illustrates this process initially on the basis of communication privacy management theory.
