A positive familial bond contributes to an individual’s happiness and wellbeing. The strength of family relationships depends on several factors such as family structure, gender, culture, proximity etc. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of Personal Communication Technology (PCT) usage among Saudi youths on family relationships and wellbeing. It includes an analysis of current literature with a focus on research conducted in Saudi Arabia and empirically draws on interviews with Saudi residents. Conclusions drawn from this study suggest that PCT usage has both positive and negative effects on wellbeing and family dynamics depending on the duration of usage, parental supervision, and awareness. This research is expected to raise awareness and contribute to a family friendly PCT policy formulation in Saudi Arabia.
