Abstract

Smartphones have become one of the necessities for every human being living today. Regardless of background or age limit, smartphones are now becoming more advanced and can help do a variety of jobs in daily life. However, there are some negative effects that will occur if its use is not well controlled. This study was conducted to examine the effect of smartphone use on their relationship with their child. The design of this study is qualitative and uses interviews with participants. Participants who participated in this study were a couple of mother and child living together. A pair of participants consisting of a mother and one child were interviewed for a pilot study to ensure the effectiveness of the research method that had been selected. For this study, a total of three pairs of participants were involved and interviewed. All participants were selected using purposive sampling techniques at determining the target participants or the type of characteristics that will be met by participants. Studies have found that there are some effects of the use of smartphones in the relationship of parents with children whose patterns look the same. This is because the use of a smartphone when the parent-child relationship is built is a habit that will distance their relationship. Researchers hope this study will benefit the relevant parties.
