Abstract

Although it is one of the core cultural values of Asian American families and an influential determinant of youth development, familism remains under-studied among Asian Americans and, despite crucial within-group heterogeneity, lacks subgroup specificity. This study describes the ways in which two major Asian American subgroups of youth, i.e., Filipino Americans and Korean Americans, maintain traditional familism. Specifically, this study constructed six self-report subscales of familism utilizing underused and new survey items and tested their psychometric properties. Using data collected from Filipino American (n = 150) and Korean American (n = 188) adolescents living in a Midwest metropolitan area, the measures were examined for validity and reliability for each group and, when appropriate, for measurement invariance across the groups. The main findings are that the finalized scales demonstrated solid reliability and validity (e.g., content and construct) in each group and some invariance and that core traditions, in the form of familism values and behaviors, persevere among second-generation Asian Americans, although familism was more evident among Filipino American youth than in Korean American youth. In both groups, subdomains of familism were not as discrete as found among their parents, who were predominantly foreign-born first-generation immigrants. The finalized familism scales were associated differently with several correlates including acculturation variables and youth outcomes. The findings are discussed with a call for further empirical research of diverse ethnic groups and immigrant generations to more accurately account for how family process interacts with cultural origin and acculturation.

在亚裔美国青年中坚持家庭主义:菲律宾和韩裔美国青年的家庭主义衡量标准
尽管家庭主义是亚裔美国人家庭的核心文化价值观之一,也是青年发展的一个有影响力的决定因素,但它在亚裔美国人中的研究仍然不足,尽管在群体内具有重要的异质性,但缺乏亚组特异性。这项研究描述了两个主要的亚裔青年亚群,即菲律宾裔美国人和韩裔美国人,维持传统家庭主义的方式。具体而言,本研究利用未充分使用的和新的调查项目构建了六个家庭主义的自我报告分量表,并测试了它们的心理测量特性。使用从菲律宾裔美国人(n = 150)和韩裔美国人(n = 188)生活在中西部大都市地区的青少年,对每个群体的测量的有效性和可靠性进行了检查,并在适当的情况下对各群体的测量不变性进行了检查。主要发现是,最终确定的量表在每个群体中都表现出了坚实的可靠性和有效性(如内容和结构)以及一些不变性,并且以家庭主义价值观和行为为形式的核心传统在第二代亚裔美国人中持续存在,尽管家庭主义在菲律宾裔美国青年中比在韩裔美国青年更明显。在这两组人中,家庭主义的子域并不像他们的父母那样离散,他们的父母主要是外国出生的第一代移民。最终确定的家庭主义量表与几个相关因素有不同的关联,包括文化适应变量和青年结果。讨论这些发现时呼吁对不同种族群体和移民世代进行进一步的实证研究,以更准确地解释家庭过程如何与文化起源和文化适应相互作用。

期刊介绍: Adolescent Research Review publishes articles that review important contributions to the understanding of adolescence.  The Review draws from the many subdisciplines of developmental science, psychological science, education, criminology, public health, medicine, social work, and other allied disciplines that address the subject of youth and adolescence. The editors are especially interested in articles that bridge gaps between disciplines or that focus on topics that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries.  Reviews must be cutting edge and comprehensive in the way they advance science, practice or policy relating to adolescents.
