This book was released on 2015 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the influences of acculturation on parenting styles and parental communication among Chinese mothers in intracultural and intercultural marriages in the United States. The participants were 97 (N=97) Chinese immigrant mothers across different states in the United States. An online questionnaire was administered to participants via Chinese mothers' network sites in California, New Orleans, Boston, New York, Colorado and Wyoming. The results of this study indicated that the length of the stay in the U.S. was positively related to the conversation-oriented family communication patterns, and negatively related to the conformity-oriented family communication patterns. Cultural identity did not influence Chinese mothers' parenting styles and family communication patterns. These findings further extend our understanding about how exposure to a new culture can influence family communication patterns among Chinese immigrant mothers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many researchers agree on a general definition of acculturation, the conceptualization and measurement of acculturation remain controversial. To address the issues, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) sponsored a conference that brought together scholars who work to define and develop assessments of acculturation, and who study the impact of acculturation on families. The goals of the conference were to evaluate both the status of acculturation as a scientific construct and the roles of acculturation in parenting and human development. The goal of this volume is to advance the state-of-the-art. Acculturation and Parent-Child Relationships: Measurement and Development is a must-read for researchers, students, and policymakers concerned with cultural factors that affect the lives of parents and children.

Download or read book Intercultural Parenting written by Koong Hean Foo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do parenting styles differ globally? How do different, international, parenting practices impact on children’s development? Can we bring together and hybridise different international parenting styles? Intercultural Parenting explores the relationship between family, culture and parenting by reviewing established and evolving Western and Eastern parenting styles and their impact on children’s development. Authoritarian, authoritative, permissive and neglecting approaches, as well as newer techniques such as helicopter parenting, are compared with filial, tiger and training approaches, and mixed parenting styles. Practical application sections show how cultural understanding can help demonstrate how professionals might use the information and ideas in their clinical work, whilst parental questionnaires encourage self-assessment and reflection. Dr. Foo Koong Hean brings together the traditional and evolving approaches to the art of parenting practices and also showcases relatively neglected research on Eastern parenting practices. This book is important reading for childcare professionals such as health visitors, early years’ teachers and those in mental health, as well as students in family studies and developmental psychology.

Download or read book Relationship Between Acculturation and Chinese Parents Beliefs about Young Children s Emotions written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emotional development of young children has received a great deal of attention due to its fundamental role in their social development and academic achievement in the future. Many studies have indicated that parental emotional socialization practices are intimately related to their children’s emotional development. While a small number of studies have reported differences among the emotion-related practices of parents from diverse cultural backgrounds, little attention has been paid to immigrant parents’ beliefs about children’s emotions and the role of acculturation patterns on these beliefs. According to the theoretical concept of cultural community, immigrant parents are likely to change their parenting practices as they are placed in a new cultural context. This exploratory study measured the acculturation patterns (assimilation, integration, marginalization and separation) of Chinese parents living in San Diego and described their beliefs about their children’s emotion. Also, the study further examined the relationship between demographic variables such as parent age, educational level, number of children and Chinese parents’ beliefs about emotions, and examined the relationship between acculturation patterns of Chinese parents and their beliefs about children’s emotions.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese-American parents are parenting within two cultures: the mainstream American culture and their heritage Chinese culture. This study examined parental cultural orientations toward the American and Chinese cultures, and the implications for parenting practices among Chinese-American families. Parenting dimensions examined were both culture-general measures (parental warmth, punitive parenting, non-democratic parenting) and culture-specific measure (parental endorsement of family obligations). Data came from a two-wave survey of about 400 Chinese-American families (one target adolescent, mother, and father). First, within each wave, the study examined the concurrent relationships between parenting practices and adolescent depressive symptoms. Second, this study examined, concurrently and longitudinally, whether parental cultural orientations were associated with parenting practices both directly and indirectly through two mediating factors: parents' bicultural management difficulty and depressive symptoms. Analyses were conducted separately for mothers and fathers. First, study findings showed that parenting practices characterized by higher levels of warmth, strong endorsement of family obligations, and lower levels of punitive and non-democratic behaviors were associated with fewer depressive symptoms in adolescents. Second, the study demonstrated significant direct relationships between both Chinese and American orientations and parenting practices. While American orientation was related to effective parenting (more warmth, low punitiveness, low non-democratic parenting), Chinese orientation was related to effective parenting (more warmth, low non-democratic parenting, strong endorsement of family obligations) as well as ineffective parenting (high punitiveness). This study also showed that parents' bicultural management difficulty and depressive symptoms mediated the relationships between acculturation and culture-general parenting measures (warmth, punitiveness, and nondemocratic parenting). It was through these two mediators (bicultural management difficulty and parental depressive symptoms) that (1) Chinese orientation was related to less warmth, high punitive and non-democratic parenting and (2) American orientation was related to more warmth, low punitive and non-democratic parenting. Lastly, there was some evidence of longitudinal relationships (father's American orientation at w1 predicted more warmth at w2; mother's American orientation at w1 predicted low punitiveness at w2 through the mediating factors of bicultural management difficulty and depressive symptoms at w1). The study suggests that parental psychological maladjustment is a promising area for interventions to promote parenting and adolescent development among ChineseAmerican families.

Download or read book The Acculturation of Chinese American Adolescents in Negotiating Autonomy and Connectedness written by Tzu-Fen Chang and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese-American adolescents were compared with the major group in the United States (European-American adolescents) in negotiating self-concepts related with autonomy and connectedness. Senses of autonomy and connectedness were evaluated by examining adolescents' cultural value orientations (individualism and collectivism), parent-adolescent relationships (decision-making styles and power perception), and relations between the two constructs. Participants included 56 first- or second-generation Chinese-American adolescents (18.5% of first-generation and 81.5% of secondgeneration) and 45 European-American adolescents, accompanied with their mothers (47 Chinese-American mothers and 42 European-American mothers). In terms of cultural value orientations, Chinese- and European-Americans' selfconcepts were consistently oriented towards collectivism more than individualism in adolescents and mothers. With regard to parent-adolescent relationships, Chinese- American adolescents have identified with the dominant culture to show similar desires of being autonomous as European-American adolescents. However, Chinese-American mothers adopted more authoritarian, conservative, and inflexible parenting styles than European-American mothers. With regard to the relations between variables of cultural value orientations and variables of parent-adolescent relationships, the pattern of findings was consistent with the notion that Chinese-American adolescents who internalize highly collectivistic cultural values displayed more collectivistic communication styles in parent-adolescent relationships than European-American adolescents.

Download or read book A Comparison of Eastern and Western Parenting written by Low Yiu Tsang Andrew and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parenting adolescents is a challenging task for parents. Professionals offer a range of support and parenting programmes to support parents. However, the importance of culturally adapting parenting programmes to benefit parents and their adolescent children hasn’t always been understood. This book provides a comparison of East and West parenting approaches and parenting programmes to show how vital a culturally sensitive approach is to the positive development of the parent-adolescent relationship. It offers a comprehensive overview of current theories and research on parenting adolescents. It focuses on comparing the differences in parenting style and practice between Chinese parents and their Western counterparts and the policy context in Chinese culture with that in the West. It also offers guidance on how to conduct an evaluation of parenting programmes and how to adapt them for the right cultural setting. Postgraduate students studying parenting, developmental psychology or social work will find this work particularly useful, as will researchers in any of these areas.

This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relations among acculturation, parenting and depressive symptoms were examined among 98 immigrant Chinese mothers and fathers with early adolescents in Canada. Parents completed measures assessing their involvement in Canadian and Chinese culture, their symptoms of depression, and their parenting practices (i.e., expressive warmth, firm control, Chinese parenting beliefs and restrictive control). Greater Canadian orientation was associated with more expressive warmth and firm control for parents, whereas greater Chinese orientation was associated with stronger Chinese parenting beliefs. Greater Canadian orientation was associated with fewer depressive symptoms for all mothers, and for fathers who were low in Chinese orientation. Symptoms of depression were negatively related to firm control and expressive warmth for parents, and positively related to restrictive control for fathers. Finally, symptoms of depression partially mediated the relation between Canadian orientation and firm control for mothers, as well as the relation between Canadian orientation and expressive warmth for fathers.

The present study aims to examine the relationship between cultural values of individualism and collectivism and the parenting styles of Chinese parents. The horizontal and vertical dimensions in individualism and collectivism and the domains of nurturance and restrictiveness in parenting style were used. Measures of questionnaires were obtained from a sample of 119 participants including 69 parents and 50 adolescents aged 14-15 recruited from Shenzhen, China. The results indicated that Chinese parents endorsed stronger horizontal and vertical collectivism, especially those values about the sense of familism, which is consistent with the traditional beliefs in Chinese culture to some extent. However, surprisingly, the results from parents' self-report showed that parents (both fathers and mothers) who valued collectivism better were characterized as more nurturing while those who emphasized individualism more demonstrated more restrictiveness in child rearing, which is contrary to the hypotheses made for this research. Additionally, difference between parents' self-report and adolescents' perception of parenting was found to be significant in parental nurturance with parents reporting higher than did their child perceive, which gives support to the argument of considering different perspectives for parents' studies. Subjects: Collectivism - China Individualism - China Parenting - China
