This book was released on 1992 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of the study was to investigate the nature of communication in intercultural marriage between Japanese and Caucasian Americans; examining how cultural differences are manifested in communication styles and how these differences affect relationships. A dual methodology was applied to explore these questions. First, two tests designed to assess level of communication in-marriage (Marital Communication Form) and marital satisfaction (Locke and Wallace Marital Adjustment Test) were translated and distributed to a large sample (n=240) of Caucasian Americans, Japanese (in Japan), and mixed couples (in the United States). Then, face-to-face interviews were conducted with six interculturally married couples, selected to represent either 'good communicators' or 'poor communicators' based on their results on both tests. Quantitative analyses of the questionnaires point towards major differences between American and Japanese cultures in these areas: Perception of marriage (including mate selection, gender role expectations, and concepts of happiness and intimacy) and communication styles and content (including verbal/nonverbal and expression of affection). In this context, in-depth interviews of intermarried couples were conducted and analyzed. Four general areas pertaining to intermarriage provided the framework for questioning: 1) factors leading to the marriage; 2) marital adjustment; 3) cultural differences and conflict; and 4) managing the conflict. The purpose of the interviews was to obtain an understanding of what actually happens when two people of different ethnic cultural backgrounds marry, and to discover strategies developed by couples to cope with cultural differences. The four areas of questioning are discussed through vignettes taken from the married lives of both good and poor communicators. The results of the study show that the more one knows of one's spouse's culture, the better the communication, and that for mixed marriages in the United States, marital satisfaction is contingent on having Japanese spouses speaking English to an adequate degree. As a preliminary and exploratory study, the research has provided some answers about the complexity and multi-dimensionality of communication and marital satisfaction in intercultural relationships"--Leaves iii-iv.

Download or read book Rethinking Marital Intervention for Asian Americans written by Lowe Phillip and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, the divorce rate for couples marrying for the first time has plateaued at approximately 50%. Studies have identified marital distress and destructive marital conflicts as generic risk factors for many forms of dysfunction and psychopathology, particularly depression in adults and conduct disorders in children. Given the state of marital union, viable preventive alternatives are needed for use while couples are still happy, or at least in the early stages of distress. Asian Americans, traditionally seen as a model minority with a strong commitment to marriage and family, have also experienced the erosion of marital satisfaction and significant increases in marital dissolution. This research work proposes a rethinking of intervention for Asian American couples in the early years of marriage, with awareness for the cultural specificity. This proposal focuses on intervention for heterosexual Asian American couples, with the goal of finding an appropriate and effective program to mediate risks that may erode later marital satisfaction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, the divorce rate for couples marrying for the first time has plateaued at approximately 50% (Bierman, 2008; Walsh, 2006 ). Studies have identified marital distress and destructive marital conflicts as generic risk factors for many for ms of dysfunction and psychopathology, particularly depression in adults and conduct disorders in children (Gotlib, Lewinsohn, & Seeley, 1998; Gotlib & McCabe, 1990). Given the state of marital union, viable preventive alternatives are needed for use whil e couples are still happy, or at least in the early stages of distress (Kaiser , Hahlweg, Fehm - Wolsdorf, & Groth, 1998). Asian Americans, traditionally seen as a model minority with a strong commitment to marriage and family, have also experienced the erosi on of marital satisfaction and significant increases in marital dissolution. This dissertation proposes a rethinking of intervention for Asian American couples in the early years of marriage, with awareness for the cultural specificity. This proposal focus es on intervention for heterosexual Asian American couples, with the goal of finding an appropriate and effective program to mediate risks that may erode later marital satisfaction.

Book excerpt: The third edition of Handbook of Marriage and the Family describes, analyzes, synthesizes, and critiques the current research and theory about family relationships, family structural variations, and the role of families in society. This updated Handbook provides the most comprehensive state-of-the art assessment of the existing knowledge of family life, with particular attention to variations due to gender, socioeconomic, race, ethnic, cultural, and life-style diversity. The Handbook also aims to provide the best synthesis of our existing scholarship on families that will be a primary source for scholars and professionals but also serve as the primary graduate text for graduate courses on family relationships and the roles of families in society. In addition, the involvement of chapter authors from a variety of fields including family psychology, family sociology, child development, family studies, public health, and family therapy, gives the Handbook a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary framework.
