The study examines how cultural factors affect parenting satisfaction and stress in first-generation Asian American immigrant families. Data from the SAAF highlights the adverse impact of familism and acculturation conflicts on parenting satisfaction and stress. The study suggests that harmonizing cultural values and community support can mitigate these negative effects.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to describe how familism and acculturation conflicts jointly influence parenting satisfaction and stress in first-generation immigrant Asian American families.
Upon completion, participants will be able to assess the impact of social support and socio-economic factors on parenting dynamics and parent-child relationships among immigrant Asian American communities.
Upon completion, participants will be able to identify effective strategies for immigrant parents to balance cultural values and practices with the demands of parenting in an American context, with a focus on reducing intergenerational conflict and enhancing family cohesion.
