Question 26

When parents are highly involved in Chinese culture, they are invested in maintaining traditional ethnic be- haviors and values and it may be threatening or disruptive when children are not similarly oriented toward cultural maintenance.

This may reduce the likelihood that differ- ences in this direction are associated with adjustment difficulties.

Question 28

why issues with moms? who are high Chinese kids low

Answer 28

differing abilities and preferences for communicating in Chinese, which may make it more difficult to effectively discuss areas of disa- greement and to share emotional issues. In addition, difficulties communicating and fewer shared activi- ties may increase children’s perceptions that they and their mothers operate in two different, incom- patible cultural worlds less maternal support as they negotiate the early adolescent period, which may place them at risk for depressive feelings and low achievement motivation

mothers: more time Mothers’ level of Chinese language use, and not fathers’ level, may be important for understanding children’s adjustment if children interact more with their mothers. and provide emotional support any decrease in closeness resulting from communication gaps with mothers may be more acutely felt by children than those resulting from communication gaps with fathers

Question 34

Why impact of fathers

Answer 34

raditionally considered the family disciplinarians responsible for ensuring their children’s achievement and proper behavior Chinese fathers’ responsibility for education may explain why children’s achieve- ment motivation was the one area in which father’s and children’s involvement in Chinese public do- mains interacted to predict adjustment fathers’ level of value endorsement was relevant to understanding the relations between children’s values and adjustment.

Question 35

why father more impacting

Answer 35

If fathers are primarily responsible for ensur- ing children’s proper behavior, then fathers’ values may be most likely to translate into decisions that affect children and rules that govern children’s ac- tivities. Therefore, father – child differences in values may be more strongly associated with family and child adjustment than mother – child differences
