Resumen
This study aims to determine the perceptions families have about their children’s use of
Information and Communication Technologies, identifying usage habits and their effects on
the management of emotions, within the academic and social settings. The study was conducted with a total of 253 families from throughout Spain, whose children are between the
ages of 14 and 16 and are attending compulsory secondary education. To this end, a crosssectional non-experimental study was carried out by means of a survey. The families surveyed indicate that their children use technology for five hours a day, the mobile phone
being the most widely used device, and that this directly affects their levels of irritability
and frustration when usage is limited, but does not cause adverse effects in academic and
social settings.
