This book was released on 2017 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2010), the Asian population in the United States grew the fastest compared to any other racial group between 2000 and 2010. With the rapid rise of the Asian population, it becomes concerning that suicide was the leading cause of death in Asians 15-19 years old (Heron, 2016). As the families settle in the United States, they may face obstacles in acculturating. A secondary data analysis was conducted using the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS) dataset. The relationship between an individual's level of acculturation and his or her self-esteem and academic achievement was examined. The relationship between parent-child acculturation gap and individual self-esteem and academic achievement was also examined. The results indicate that individual level of acculturation is positively related to self-esteem and academic achievement. The findings also indicate that an increase in acculturation gap between individuals and their parents is negatively related to self-esteem and positively related to academic achievement.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The present study explored the impact of cultural differences on the emotional wellness of Asian American college students. The study focused on the relationships among acculturation, awareness of oppression and White privilege, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and academic confidence. Participants included 193 subjects who were 18 years of age and above, enrolled in college in the United States, and defined themselves as Asian American. Results established relationships among awareness of White privilege, self-esteem, and academic confidence. It was found that awareness of White privilege may negatively affect an individual's self-esteem and academic confidence. Upon further exploration, findings suggest that oppression and White privilege may be viewed as two different constructs for Asian Americans. The implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed.
Download or read book Children of Immigrants written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-11-12 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigrant children and youth are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population, and so their prospects bear heavily on the well-being of the country. Children of Immigrants represents some of the very best and most extensive research efforts to date on the circumstances, health, and development of children in immigrant families and the delivery of health and social services to these children and their families. This book presents new, detailed analyses of more than a dozen existing datasets that constitute a large share of the national system for monitoring the health and well-being of the U.S. population. Prior to these new analyses, few of these datasets had been used to assess the circumstances of children in immigrant families. The analyses enormously expand the available knowledge about the physical and mental health status and risk behaviors, educational experiences and outcomes, and socioeconomic and demographic circumstances of first- and second-generation immigrant children, compared with children with U.S.-born parents.

Download or read book Educating Asian Americans written by Russell Endo and published by IAP. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The achievement, schooling, and the ethnic identities of Asian American students are among the core areas in the field of Asian American education, yet there is much that remains to be uncovered, verified, contradicted, and learned through sound research, especially as the Asian American population rapidly increases in size and in the diversification of its characteristics. The chapters in this book deal present cutting-edge work in these three areas and contain innovative perspectives, new qualitative quantitative data, and discussions of the implications of findings for educational policies, practices, and programs. These chapters cover such specific topics as academic achievement gaps between Asian American and White students, contemporary school experiences of Southeast Asians and of undocumented Asian American students, perspectives on teaching immigrant and refugee students, and the development of ethnic identities. This work is authored by well-known higher education faculty as well as emerging scholars. Overall, this material represents a valuable, timely, and useful contribution to the literature on Asian Americans that will be of interest to faculty, administrators, policymakers, researchers, and students.

This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian Americans are the fastest growing minority group in the United States. When Asian immigrants arrive in the United States, they regularly encounter a vast number of difficulties integrating themselves into their new culture. In Handbook of Mental Health and Acculturation in Asian American Families, distinguished researchers and clinicians discuss the process of acculturation for individuals and their families, addressing the mental health needs of Asian Americans and thoroughly examining the acculturative process, its common stressors, and characteristics associated with resiliency. This first-of-its-kind, multi-dimensional title synthesizes current acculturation research, while presenting those concepts within a clinical framework. In addition to providing an in-depth look at both past and present research and offering directions for future topics to explore, the book also offers a range of practical tools such as research scales to measure levels of acculturation, interview techniques, and clinical approaches for special populations including children, the elderly, and their families. Thought-provoking and informative, Handbook of Mental Health and Acculturation in Asian American Families will enhance the understanding of the clinical and sociocultural problems Asian Americans face, providing clinicians with all the necessary insights to better care for their patients.

Book excerpt: The model minority stereotype portrays Asian Americans as resilient, educationally and financially successful, and family-focused, while it downplays the realities of discrimination and its effects on self-esteem. Research suggests that gender roles and immigration experiences are contributing factors to why Asian American women, especially second-generation immigrants, experience greater stress than women of other ethnic groups and Asian American men in general. Considering most Asian Americans are of East and Southeast Asian heritages influenced by Confucian family values and gender roles, this study examined how these values mediated the associated from discrimination to self-esteem during adolescence, and to educational and financial achievement (wellbeing) during adulthood for second-generation immigrants. Using data from the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (N = 554), results from a partially constrained group-comparison model demonstrated that Confucian values of familism and family cohesion were factors that significantly predicted adolescent self-esteem and adult educational achievement. Men level of familism endorsement was also uniquely related to experiences with discrimination. Clinical implications and further research directions are discussed.
