Chinese American Adults' Relationship with Their Parents

School of Social Welfare, 120 Haviland Hall, University of California, Berkeley, CA., USA

This investigation examines the relationship between Chinese American adults and their parents. A group of 143 American- and foreign-born Chinese Americans residing in San Francisco participated in the study. Contact with parents was found to be very frequent (two to three times a week), and was primarily mediated by geographic proximity. Immigrant women maintained significantly more frequent contact with their parents than American-born women. Intimacy was primarily predicted by respondent's understanding of his/her mother. Implications of the findings are discussed.
