Abstract
Following recent discussion of close parent-undergraduate contact via mediated communication, this manuscript reports an empirical study of parental invasive behaviors and children's defensive behaviors. Results reveal patterns of parent/child boundary management via mediated communication, including decreased frequency of invasive/defensive behaviors than in a similar study by Petronio (1994). Telephone invasion at home was associated with invasions when away at college. Discussion of results considers how technology choices might alter the character of parent-child boundary management.
