This study aimed to examine the general patterns of the emotional social networks of emerging adults, communicationwithin these networks, and the use of technology in communication, while also assessing the role of sex and age onindividual variation. Thirty-seven questionnaires were completed by students with age range of 18-36 years aimed ateliciting details on their intimate social relationships (the support clique and sympathy group), usage of technology forcommunication. Results of this study indicate that the support clique and sympathy group sizes of emerging adults (6.44± 3.22 and 13.08 ±7.28, respectively) are similar to those found in other populations, and that variation in the size ofegocentric social networks can be attributed to sex differences (with females having larger networks than males), Additionally,a general trend towards sex-biased homophily was found in both the support and sympathy groups, with females networkscontaining more females, and male networks containing more males. Finally, this study found that emerging adults are heavyusers of technology for communication, and that the form of communication (e.g. text message, telephone call) is affectedby the emotional closeness and type of a relationship, and the distance to a contact. While this study found no significantsex differences in usage patterns of communication technology, age was found to be negatively correlated with a number ofindexes of usage. It was also found that those individuals who made greater use of one form of technology were also likelyto make use of others, indicating that there is a general propensity to communicate, and that individuals will communicateusing any means available to them.
