Abstract

The present study investigated the role of parental control and affectionate care in mediating the relationship between perceived parents’ Asian cultural values and family conflict among 193 female and 98 male Asian American college students. Testing of mediator effects indicated that parental control and affectionate care mediated the relationship between parents’ Asian values and family conflict: fully for men and partially for women. Women indicated higher levels of parental control from fathers than did men. An inverse relationship was noted for mother’s stronger adherence to Asian values and care for both men and women. The findings suggest that affectionate care and parental control are significant contributing factors in family conflict among Asian Americans.
