Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research breaks new ground in identifying cross-culturally common family environment traits that correlate with children's high academic achievement. A multi- method approach involving both qualitative and well established, validated quantitative research methods was employed to measure the home environment from a social and educational perspective. The modified What is Happening in this Classroom (WIHIC) instrument questionnaire was used to determine if academically successful students and their parents hold similar perceptions of their home environment as an educational environment. The Family Environment Scale (FES) instrument questionnaire was used to measure family social environment for comparison to whole population norms and to identify common behavioral traits among the studied groups. The sample consisted of 180 academically high achieving adolescents and their families from the United States, Japan, and Greece. In addition to its cultural diversity, the study group was widely varied in lifestyle, being drawn from urban, suburban, and rural areas. Interviews conducted by the researcher at the homes of the participants were used to complement the quantitative data and contributed to further understanding of the cultural, social, and ethnic factors that influence home environment. The study identified and describes crossculturally common behavioral traits among the families of academically high achieving students that transcended culture, language, economic status, and geographic location.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection considers Greek American formal and informal educational efforts, institutions, and programs, broadly conceived, as they evolved over time throughout the United States. The book’s focus on Greek Americans aims to highlight the vast array of educational responses to local needs and contexts as this distinct, yet, heterogeneous immigrant community sought to maintain its linguistic, cultural, and religious heritage for over one hundred years. The chapters in this volume amend the scholarly literature that thus far has not only overlooked Greek American educational initiatives, but has also neglected to recognize and analyze the community’s persistence in sustaining them. This book is an important contribution to an understanding of Greek Americans’ long overdue history as a significant diaspora community within an American context.

Book excerpt: The African immigrant population in the U.S. has roughly doubled every year since 1970 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2014). The increase in African immigrant families in the U.S. coincides with a rise of African immigrant families interacting with U.S. institutions such as the educational and healthcare systems. African immigrant cultures may hold different values, attitudes, norms and beliefs about educational success and what makes a person emotionally well. Comparatively little is known about the cultural meaning of education, parent's educational expectations and emotional distress among African immigrant families. One way to better understand the cultural meanings of these concepts among African immigrant families is to compare other immigrant groups present in the U.S and to look at within cultural group differences inside this population. Research is needed to explore the culture of African immigrant families in hopes of informing practice for service providers and intervention development. Thus, my overall study goal is to improve understanding of the role of culture in shaping the daily lives and experiences of educational expectations and emotional distress among African immigrant families. This goal was accomplished by conducting a two study, dissertation where both study methods complement each other. My first study was a quantitative, secondary data analysis of the CILS dataset (Portes & Rumbaut, 2006). The purpose of the first study was to determine if culture influences parent educational expectations and child emotional distress across Latin American, Asian and African immigrant families in the U.S. Family systems theory (Broderick, 1993) and self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987) theoretically supported this study by explaining the regulatory nature of family systems and explaining what happens when those regulations are not met. Study participants included N = 1,308, Cuban (58.3%) and Philippine (41.7%) children of immigrants from Southern states in the U.S. Participants were on average age 13.94 years, mostly male (62.8%) and had an average GPA of 2.64. Data analyses included descriptive statistics and Ordinary Least Squares Regression. I found Philippine children experienced .587 units of emotional distress more than Cuban children. I also found significant group mean differences in the interaction of parent help with homework, and child perception of parents' educational expectations across immigrant cultural groups. Lastly, the interaction between parent help with homework and child cultural group predicted emotional distress for Cuban and Philippine children. My second study was a qualitative, primary data analysis using a narrative design (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2011). The purpose of my study was to explore the cultural meaning West African immigrant families' have about education, parent's educational expectations and emotional distress in the U.S. This study was grounded by an explanatory models approach (Kleinman, Eisenberg, & Good, 1987). Study participants included N = 22 individuals (n = 11 parent-adult child dyads). Parent participants were West African immigrants that have lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years. Adult child participants were children of immigrants with (2) West African immigrant parents that have lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years. Participants were recruited using purposive sampling (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2011). There were two components to this study: (1) Semi-structured, individual interviews conducted in-person, over-the-phone, or video conference; and (2) a survey packet with informed consent and demographic questions. Data analyses included using a phenomenological coding process (Creswell, 2013). Demographically, most immigrant parents were female (72.7%) and on average 53.27 years. Most adult children were female (81.8%) and on average 21 years. Rich themes emerged from the data. For education, I found two themes: Education is the primary route to success, and Education is power. Two themes concerning parent's educational expectations emerged from the data: Child's education is parents' security, and Child shares parent's educational expectations. Emotional distress themes were reported following the explanatory models approach (Kleinman, Eisenberg, & Good, 1978): Description of emotional distress, What causes emotional distress and Ways to handle emotional distress. Lastly, I found one theme that answered the research question: Does culture influence how adult children emotionally respond to parent's expectations for their education? The theme was: Yes and no. Overall, these studies underscored the importance of using appropriate parent educational expectations for different children of immigrants, and there is consensus that culture influences the relationship between parent's educational expectations and emotional distress in immigrant families. Implications of this study are to inform immigrant parents, scholars, and service providers about the differences in parent's educational expectations and child emotional distress across immigrant cultural groups. Also, the way we think of the expectation-distress relationship is fundamentally reframed for West African immigrant families.
