Coping with Intergenerational Family Conflict among Asian American College Students
Lee, Richard M.; Su, Jenny; Yoshida, Emiko
Journal of Counseling Psychology, v52 n3 p389-399 Jul 2005
Two coping strategies--problem solving and social support seeking--were hypothesized to differentially moderate the effects of intergenerational family conflict on well-being and adjustment in a college sample of 117 Asian American young adult children. Results indicated that social support served as a protective-stabilizing factor that buffered the effects of family conflict on positive affect and somatic distress. Problem-solving coping served as a protective-reactive factor that had a positive effect on positive affect when family conflict was low and a negative effect when family conflict was high. The potential implications of these findings for counseling and conducting research on Asian American college students are discussed.
