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.

Download or read book The Role of Human Agency and Hopeful Career State in the Relationship Between Family Influence and Career Decision Making Among Asian International Students written by Hongshan Shao and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effects of family influence, hopeful career state, and human agency on career decision self-efficacy among Asian international students in the United States. A sample of 206 Asian international students across 17 countries and regions was recruited and used for further data analysis. They have completed the demographic form, family influence scale, assessment of human agency, hopeful career state, acculturation index, and career decision self-efficacy short form via an online platform, Qualtrics. This study used preliminary analysis, descriptive analysis, FIS confirmatory factor analysis, and two-step structural equation modeling to answer the research questions and test the hypotheses. The results indicated that family financial support was a significant predictor of career decision self-efficacy. Hopeful career state mediated the indirect effects between family influence on career decision self-efficacy among Asian international students. The results of the alternative model analysis supported that hopeful career state weakly mediated the relationship between family financial support and career decision self-efficacy. Hopeful career state mediated the positive relationship between human agency and career decision self-efficacy. The effect of human agency was stronger than the effect of family financial support on career decision self-efficacy via hopeful career state. The strengths and limitations of the study were discussed. The implication for practice and recommendations for future research were provided.

Included in the coverage: How Asian American couples negotiate relational harmony: collectivism and gender equality. Through religion: working-class Korean immigrant women negotiate patriarchy.

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 Asian American Social Workers written by Soon Min Lee and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian Americans are one of the fastest growing minority groups in the United States. One of the stereotypes associated with Asians is that they are more likely to choose careers in science, medicine, and engineering rather than social science, inclusive of social work, mass communication, or humanities (Leong & Serafica, 1995; Tang et al., 1999). This occupational stereotyping of Asians is not just a myth in that descriptive studies have shown that only a few Asians choose social work as a career (Lennon, 2005; NASW, 2006). Few studies exist on Asian Americans who do not choose Asian stereotypical career choices, such as social work. Acknowledging this lack of research, the present study was developed to explore the relationships between factors that may influence Asian Americans who choose social work as their career. Based on social cognitive career theory (Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994), it was hypothesized that acculturation and family immigration status influenced parental involvement, perceived career barriers, and career outcome expectations of Asian American social workers. A cross-sectional survey design utilizing mixed methods was used in this study. The sample was derived from the members2 database of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). Among 1,802 of Asian American social workers in the NASW database, those aged 65 or older were excluded and 900 Asian social workers were randomly chosen for this study. A total of 370 Asian American social workers participated in this study with 41 percent of a return rate. Quantitative data were collected through standardized measurements: the Social Work Career Influence Questionnaire (Biggerstaff, 2000); Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation Scale (Suinn, Rickard-Figueroa, Lew, & Vigil, 1987); Career Barriers Inventory Revised (Swanson, et al., 1996); and eight items from Tang et al.2s (1999) Asian American Career Development Questionnaire. Also, qualitative data were obtained through two open-ended short questions. The data were collected through a combined method of an online survey with option of a paper mail-return questionnaire. Results of the study found significant group differences among family immigration status groups on perceived likelihood and perceived hindrance of career barriers. The 1st generation group perceived the greatest career barriers and the 3rd or higher generation group perceived the least career barriers among the family immigration status groups. However, there was no significant multivariate effect of acculturation on perceived likelihood and hindrance of career barriers, parental involvement, desire to be a therapist, prestige of the profession, and social change mission of the profession. Qualitative data included participants2 diverse perspectives on what factors influenced Asian Americans2 selecting or not selecting social work as a career. Implications and limitations of this study, as well as suggestions for future research, are discussed.
Download or read book The Ones who Hold the World written by Allison M. Fujii and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Asian American first-generation college students--those who are the first in their families to attend college--comprise a growing yet understudied population within U.S. higher education. This qualitative study explored the career choice process of eleven Asian American first-generation college students who were majoring in arts, humanities, and social science fields. The findings suggest that students' cultural and class identities influenced the way they and their families approached the career choice process. Students often experienced family challenges in pursuing culturally nontypical majors. Participants' stories underscored the importance of culturally relevant support, and receiving such support on campus was instrumental to students' self-efficacy. Contrary to what the model minority myth purports, Asian American first-generation students are complex individuals with unique struggles and motivation in attaining higher education.
