Journal of Counseling and Development, v83 n2 p172 Spr 2005
The authors investigated the process of cultural adjustment among 13 Korean immigrant youths using consensual qualitative research (C. E. Hill, B. J. Thompson, & E. N. Williams, 1997). Results indicate that Korean youth are expected to negotiate and shift their identities to meet differing expectations across various interpersonal contexts. Participants also report struggling to balance "American" and "Korean" cultural values and norms and to use social support networks, such as family and friends, to deal with the stress of acculturation.
