Description

The study tested a model showing the effects of perceived parent and adolescent interaction factors such as family efficacy and parental closeness on Asian values, self-construal, and resiliency. Based on Bronfrenbrenner’s ecological system’s theory, it is hypothesized in the study that family efficacy, parental closeness, and Asian values are facilitated with group emergent properties such as family interaction factors. Different measures for each factor will be administered to 1000 college students using a longitudinal design. The measures for family efficacy and parental closeness will be administered on the first wave and the scales for Asian values, self-construal, and resiliency in another time. The proposed model is tested using Structural Equations Modeling.
