Gender, Ethnicity, and Acculturation in Intergenerational Conflict of Asian American College Students.

Chung, Ruth H. Gim

Cultural Diversity & Ethnic Minority Psychology, v7 n4 p376-86 Nov 2001

This study looked at intergenerational relations according to gender, ethnicity, and acculturation, as aspects of immigrant family life of Asian American college students (N=342). Variations were found in intergenerational tensions over expectations regarding educational and career concerns, and dating and marriage issues. Gender was a factor but acculturation was the greatest factor, as highly acculturated groups reported significantly less conflict. (JDM)
