Abstract
This chapter discusses the theoretical and methodological understandings that underpin research investigating the interactions of children and parents around digital media use in family contexts. The chapter first provides an overview of the research that explores family interactions in relation to digital media use and issues, and outlines how family interactions provide both opportunities and constraints for technological engagement, socialisation and participating in family life. Specific attention is directed to those studies that explore children’s participation in digital technologies through the theoretical lenses of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. These approaches examine in fine detail the participants’ moment-by-moment talk and actions (including multimodal actions) as they engage with each other and with digital media. The chapter next explores the methodological considerations that underpin family interactions in digital media contexts. It briefly discusses the ethical considerations of undertaking research involving children in the private contexts of the home and engaging in data collection that involves video recordings of family interactions with digital media. Finally, the chapter concludes with some challenges and opportunities for social interaction research that involve family interactions around digital media.
