We present a novel method, using Bluetooth low energy beacons and a smartphone application, to examine frequency and duration of adolescents and parents time spent together in daily life by objectively tracking proximity in 77 Dutch families (77 adolescents (Mage = 15.9) and 145 parents (Mage = 48.9) for 14 consecutive days. Quality of parent-adolescent interactions was assessed using proximity triggered questionnaires. Overall, adolescents and mothers were more often in proximity and spent
more » ... time together than adolescents and fathers. Interactions and parenting behavior were generally rated as pleasant, but large differences between families were found in frequency and duration. This innovative method seems a promising tool to generate a deeper understanding of social interactions in daily life.
