“…These differences in acculturation level may lead one to hypothesize that KA youth would experience more parental expectations to behave in specific ways that adhere to traditional gendered norms than FA youth experience. Interestingly, however, Choi et al (2017) found that FA parents reported a significantly higher degree of adherence to traditional family values, including gendered expectations, than KA parents.…”

Asian Americans face structural racism and experience racial discrimination (see Benner et al., 2018, for review). In the last few years, anti-immigrant and racist sentiments have increased dramatically. Although anti-Asian crimes are rarely reported, Asian Americans, more than 62% of whom are foreign-born (U.S. Census Bureau, 2018), have been disproportionately targeted during this period. Nationwide, racist and antiimmigrant hate crimes targeting Asian Americans grew by 30% between 2015 and 2018-increasing by 20% in particular between 2016 and 2017, more than the increase in such crimes directed against any other major racial and ethnic groups in the United States (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 2018). These daily racial experiences have direct implications for Asian American youth adjustment. Even before the recent surge of racism and anti-immigration/anti-Asian sentiments, Asian American youth, including Filipino American (FA;Gee et al., 2009) and Korean American (KA;Shin et al., 2011) youth, reported the highest rate of peer harassment, perpetrated by both White youth and other racial minority youth (Fisher et al., 2000).

“…Meanwhile, the extant literature typically fails to consider the specific challenges Asian American families confront, and the unique developmental contexts Asian American children are embedded within that may yield substantive differences in families’ adaptive responses (e.g., a higher proportion of foreign-born parents, model-minority stereotypes, considerable ethnic heterogeneity; Kiang, Tseng, & Yip, 2016). For instance, some research has suggested that Asian American parents engage in cultural socialization as well as more acculturation to mainstream or American cultural norms and identity, while only rarely engaging in conversations or consciousness-raising about discrimination and how to cope with or combat it (Choi & Hahm, 2017; Daga & Raval, 2018; Juang, Shen, Kim, & Wang, 2016 ). As a result, when Asian children and youth encounter bias in majority contexts, they may have less well-developed coping skills to deal with threats to their self-perceptions and psychological well-being.…”

Despite growing support for the role of ethnic-racial socialization in minority youth development, no integrative research previously examined the practical significance of parental ethnic-racial socialization on minority youth's psychological and behavioral well-being. This meta-analysis synthesizes the existing literature across 102 empirical studies. The authors examined the nuanced ways in which specific dimensions of parental ethnic-racial socialization operate to influence development in youth of color.

“…The development of indigenous parenting measures is still in its burgeoning stage, and more research is needed to expand the inventory of available scales and to test cross-cultural invariance of measures across subgroups. A recent study (Choi, Park, Lee, Kim, & Tan, 2017) has shown that despite sharing an overarching Asian culture, Filipino Americans and Korean Americans are significantly different in the extent to which they preserve indigenous parenting values and practices. The subgroup differences can be significant, yet subtle.…”

This study examined how parental cultural orientations and family process are related among Korean immigrant parents (272 mothers, and 164 fathers, N=436) and how the relationship varies across fathers and mothers. Multiple scales were used to assess bilinear, multidimensional cultural orientation towards both the culture of origin and mainstream culture. The dimensions of language, identity, and cultural participation as well as the number of years living in U.S. were analyzed. The main findings include: (1) parents who maintain heritage culture orientation were more likely to preserve traditional parenting values and practices, (2) parental host culture orientation largely had no impact on traditional parenting but some elements of the host culture orientation were in fact associated with stronger endorsements of traditional parenting, (3) each dimension of acculturation differentially related to traditional parenting, and (4) significant relationships were more pronounced among parenting values than practices. These patterns were largely similar across mothers and fathers. Although some mixed findings suggest the complexity of the hypothesized relationships, the present study findings highlight the importance of bilinear and multidimensional acculturation and core vs. peripheral elements of culture in family process. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
