This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the psychosocial adjustment of Chinese immigrant children in satellite families in Canada. I used Flanagan's (1954) Critical Incident Technique to interview 32 Chinese children who were between 10 and 19 years old, living in satellite families, and who emigrated from China, Taiwan, or Hong Kong to Canada within the last four years. All interviews were conducted in the respondents' mother tongue. The results showed that these children, whether they emigrated to Canada recently or four years ago, whether they were young or old, and whether they were males or females, were well adjusted. Many respondents reported that they have a better relationship with their parents, particularly with their fathers, than they had in their home countries. The findings also indicated that the present ESL system does not meet their educational needs. This analysis of satellite children should help indicate future research directions.
Book Synopsis Chinese Adolescents in Hong Kong by : Daniel T.L. Shek
Download or read book Chinese Adolescents in Hong Kong written by Daniel T.L. Shek and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents the findings of a 3-year longitudinal study on the quality of family life, personal well-being and risk behavior in Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong. It presents the profiles of quality of family life (family functioning, parental behavioral control, parental psychological control and parent-child relational qualities); personal well-being (positive youth development and life satisfaction measures) and adolescent risk behavior (substance abuse, delinquency, self-harm and suicidal behavior and behavioral intentions to engage in risk behavior) in different adolescent populations across time. It also examines theoretical issues concerning the interrelationships between family quality of life, psychological well-being and risk behavior in adolescents. Practically speaking, the findings can help youth workers appreciate the importance of family quality of life and positive youth development in shaping the personal well-being and risk behavior in Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong.

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 Synopsis Family Functioning and Adolescent Adaptation Outcomes by :
Download or read book Family Functioning and Adolescent Adaptation Outcomes written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of literature has revealed that there is great inconsistency in findings on immigrant adolescents' psychological well-being and academic performance. For example, one group of studies argues that, despite the commonly held belief that the immigration and acculturation process are stressful, immigrant children fare as well as, if not better than, U.S.-born children; but with generational progression from first to second to third generation, they tend to lose their relative advantage. Another group of studies contends that immigrant children in general suffer lower self-esteem, worse psychological health, and other associated adaptive problems in contrast to their native counterparts. I propose that the discrepancy is mainly due to the lack of an ethnic contextuality perspective in researching immigrant families and immigrant children. Each ethnic immigrant group has its specific historical, cultural, and social backgrounds in both their pre- and post-immigration settings. These ethnic-specific contextual factors will then operate on individual ethnic members to form ethnic-specific behavioral and psychological outcomes. Based on this theorization, I predict that children of each ethnic group have their own unique passage of integration into U.S. society. Particularly, due to such ethnic specific mechanisms, the ways in which family functioning impacts on immigrant adolescents' adaptation outcomes should also vary according to national origin. In order to have a reasonable sample of the leading immigrant ethnic groups, I have used the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health data (Add Health) for analysis. I have selected Chinese, Filipino, Korean, Mexican, Cuban, and Puerto Rican families and adolescents for comparison. The hierarchical regression analyses indicate that there are significant ethnic variations in the degrees to which immigrant status, family socioeconomic background, family structure, and family relations impact on adolescent's psychological well-being and academic performance. In addition to this, the data analysis also reveals the disadvantage that all the minority adolescents encounter in comparison with the non-Hispanic white adolescents in terms of psychological well-being. Specifically, when immigrant status, family SES, family structure, and family relations remain constant, adolescents from black, all Asian subgroup, and all Hispanic subgroup backgrounds have higher depression level and lower scores on positive psychological state than non-Hispanic white adolescents. Moreover, the extent to which closeness with parents mediates or moderates the stresses of assimilation varies by ethnic group. This study suggests that, to fully understand ethnic variations, future research needs to examine the larger systems that the ethnic groups are embedded in.
Book Synopsis Longitudinal Effects of Congruence and Incongruence Between Ideal and Actual Functioning on Chinese Immigrants' Psychological Adjustment by : Sheena Wen-Hsun Miao

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adjustment of immigrants has been an important area of research over the past few decades. The current literature on immigrants' psychological adjustment typically focuses on identifying specific contextual, interpersonal, and intrapersonal risks that contribute to negative adjustment. However, the mechanisms through which maladjustment occurs are less well-understood. In addition, less research has focused on understanding immigrants' hopes, aspirations, and expectations for themselves and the extent to which they are meeting these ideals. According to existing literature on psychological incongruence, failure to fulfill one's ideals can trigger dejection-related feelings, such as shame, and these feelings are closely connected with negative psychological adjustment. In collectivistic cultures such as the Chinese culture, where much of an individual's identity is dependent on close relationships, incongruence can be conceptualized both within an individual (e.g., I failed to achieve my ideals) and in relation to one's significant other (e.g., My child failed to achieve my ideals for him/her). Informed by theories of psychological incongruence, this dissertation aimed to study Chinese immigrant parents' psychological adjustment, focusing on incongruence in two broad domains: 1) occupational and educational achievement; and 2) cultural adjustment, as well as incongruence within oneself and in relation to one's child. The general hypothesis was that incongruence between ideal and actual functioning across the domains studied would predict a decrease in psychological adjustment over time, as represented by lower self-esteem and higher depressive symptoms. Participants were 182 Chinese immigrant families (mothers, fathers, and adolescent-aged children) residing in British Columbia, assessed twice with 18 months apart. A combination of polynomial regression with response surface analysis and linear multiple regression methods were used to evaluate the extent to which the direction and magnitude of congruence and incongruence between ideal and actual functioning predicted change in parents' psychological adjustment over time. Results provided partial support for the hypothesized relations, particularly within the domains of Chinese parents' own Canadian acculturation and their children's academic functioning. Support was also found within the domain of parents' own occupational functioning, but this was the case only for mothers. The hypothesized relations within the domain of children's Chinese cultural orientation were generally not supported. Overall, the results highlight the importance of understanding immigrant adults' adjustment process using a goodness-of-fit, family-oriented approach. Clinicians and settlement workers are encouraged to consider cultural and personal ideals when supporting immigrants in their adjustment process, as well as fostering successful coping with the incongruence that can arise in parent-child dyads. Finally, immigration policies should continue to address structural barriers that prevent immigrants from achieving their ideals, such as in the domain of employment.

Book Synopsis Children of Immigrants by : National Research Council
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.
Book Synopsis The Psychological Well-being of East Asian Youth by : Chin-Chun Yi
Download or read book The Psychological Well-being of East Asian Youth written by Chin-Chun Yi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid social change in the East Asia has brought great research attention on the family, education and political impacts. The growth trajectory of the next generation is exposed to an entirely different context owing to the dual effects of traditional and modern values as well as practices. This book provides an overall picture of the developmental trajectory of Taiwanese youth as a typical example in the region. The time frame is set from early adolescence (13years old) to young adulthood (22yeard old). Individual psychological well-being in its broad definition will be used as the outcome indicator to reflect significant developmental processes during this important transitional life course. Benefitted from the rare panel datasets conducted from 2000-2009, this book has two major focuses: one is to explore the interplay among family, school and community with regard to their influence on the individual growth patterns; the other is to highlight the potential constraint and/or strength of the prevailing social norms and values shared among East Asian societies. To be specific, different chapters will describe and analyze the life chances and growth patterns among youth with different social capitals (including family SES, educational achievement, rural-urban residence, etc.). Their short-term versus long-term outcome, as indicated by various psychological well-being variables (e.g., depressive symptoms, deviant or problem behaviors, happiness, edutional performance), will allow us to delineate the particular structural context that individual East Asian youth encounters and to offer constructive suggestions on family interaction, educational strategy as well as health related policies based on the scientific evidence. This book incorporates comparative reports from other East Asian societies, and from youth panel studies of Australia and the U.S.. The experience of their counter-part in the advanced societies will contribute to readers’ understanding of the particular social situation that East Asian youth is embedded in the growth process. In addition, comparative perspective will enable the reader to contemplate on the potential future development of the affluent generation in the region. Since changing social structure occurred in the last few decades in the East Asia has suffered inadequate investigation in the realm of family, education and community, this book provides timely information to fill up the gap. Analyses of the valuable dataset from early adolescents to young adults will attract those who are interested in family researches, in youth studies, in panel data analyses, as well as in the social development in Taiwan and in East Asia.
