In recent years, text messaging (“texting”) has become the dominant method of communication for young adults. This prevalence of texting has led to research exploring the beneficial and detrimental behaviors associated with texting, indicating wide-ranging social and human factors implications. As texting continues to take precedence over other forms of communication and research begins to address texting behaviors, the question arises about whether people use other mobile instant messaging applications (“IM apps”) similarly. The current study expands on the research of texting behaviors by asking how similarly young adults view apps (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, etc.) to texting. Results indicated that young adults in the United States use texting more frequently than text-based apps, but that these apps are viewed similarly to texting. The implication is that research addressing texting behaviors may apply to other forms of text-based communication; however, texting remains the most prominent mode of communication, justifying its own continued examination.

Care Situation

In 1981, more than half the mothers in the United States were employed outside the home. By 1990, it was predicted that 70% of children would have two working parents. The number has been increasing each year since World War II, and 10 times as many mothers of small children work now as did in 1945. Now it is more culturally acceptable than even before for mothers to have jobs. Even so, there is still a strong bias against mothers leaving their babies in substitute care unless it is absolutely necessary. Society does not yet whole-heartedly support working mothers and their choices about substitute care. We do not have enough studies yet to know about the issues for the infant. The studies we do have are likely to be biased or based on experiences in special, often privileged populations. We need to know when it is safest for the child's future development to have to relate to two or three caregivers; what will be the effects of a group care situation on a baby's development; when babies are best able to find what they need from caregivers other than their parents; when parents are best able to separate from their babies without feeling too grieved at the loss. In a word, we need information on which to base general guidelines for parents. For it could be that the most subtle, hard-to-deal-with pressure on young adults comes indirectly from society's ambivalent and discordant attitudes, which create a void of values in which the building and nurturing of a family becomes very difficult.
