This paper presents the results of a qualitative research that explores, from an
intergenerational and gender perspective, how the use of audiovisual media
influences to personal well-being in adolescence. Three, semi-structured group
interviews were used with adolescent girls (aged 12 to 18 years), and two with
mothers of boys and girls of those ages. The results show that interpersonal
relationships are one of the factors that greatly contribute to the adolescents’ wellbeing.
Girls said that the use of technology generates personal well-being because
it allows them to maintain interpersonal relationships with their peers. The mothers,
however, question whether overuse of technology can contribute to their personal
well-being. On the other hand, girls and mothers agree to comment that the use of
technology hinders the relationships that adolescents have with their parents
