The relationship between an adolescent and his/her parents is one of the most important relationships that can have a significant effect on adolescents' well-being and functioning. While there has been an increase in research on Asian American families in recent years, still much less is known about adolescent-parent relationships in these families. Asian American adolescents face some of the challenges that mainstream European American adolescents face, but their experiences are complicated by the cultural and immigration-related factors that have unique contribution to their relationships with their parents. As such, there is urgent need for research that identifies and provides a comprehensive understanding of factors that contribute to the experiences of Asian American immigrant families. The current paper provides a systematic look at adolescent-parent relationships in Asian American immigrant families using the Bronfenbrenner's ecological model. More specifically, this paper provides a succinct review of the literature on developmental issues, immigration, and culture-related factors that affect Asian American adolescent-parent relationships, and guided by Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory, an ecological framework of Asian American adolescent-parent relationships is proposed.

This study investigated the relations among parent-child relationship, school adjustment and self-concept in adolescence. In addition, interaction effects of parent-child relationship and school adjustment on adolescent self-concept were examined. The major results of this study were as follows: 1. Parent-child relationship and school adjustment were positively associated with self-esteem. The better parent-child relationships they perceive, the higher self-concept they have. The better school adjustment they experience, the higher self-concept they have. 2. There were interaction effects of parent-child relationships and school adjustment on self-concept. Adolescents whose parent-child relationships were poor had higher self-concept when they adjusted to school well. There were little differences in self-concept as a function of the school adjustment when their parent-child relationships were good. These findings indicate that experience in the family and school domains interact in their associations with adolescent self-concept.

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore Korean mothers' experiences of the development of parent-adolescent relationships. Methods: The participants were 18 Korean parents of adolescents. Data were collected through in-depth interviews. The main question was, "Could you tell me about your experiences of developing a relationship with your adolescent child?" The data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory methodology. Results: The central phenomena of the experiences of parent-adolescent relationships among Korean mothers were "trying to reduce my expectations, but not being able to" and "having no idea where to go". The major action/interaction strategies were "putting aside my desires and adapting to my child's needs" and "waiting and seeing at a distance". The consequences included "appreciating myself and my child at the same time". Conclusion: These findings indicate that mothers tried to adapt to their children's needs and to keep their children at a distance. Their efforts were influenced by advice from friends and family members. The findings of this study emphasize specific aspects of how Korean mothers experienced the process of developing respectful relationships with their children.

The purpose of the present study was to examine how dimensions of socialization practice and relationship quality may function to manage or increase parent-adolescent conflict. Of particular concern was to examine the comparative efficacy of potential predictors of parent-adolescent conflict across three cultural groups consisting of samples from Mainland China, Russia, and the U.S. as well as across gender-of-parent/gender-of-adolescent dyads from each culture. Findings from a sample of 1,365 adolescents indicated that adolescents' perceptions of parental influences on parent-adolescent conflict differ across cultural groups and gender-of-adolescent. The use of punitive behavior by parents was the strongest and most consistent predictor of parent-adolescent conflict across all cultural groups and gender dyads, suggesting that a general pattern exists for punitiveness to increase parent-adolescent conflict cross-culturally. Perceptions of support, monitoring, conformity to parents, and autonomy from parents influenced parent-adolescent conflict within some of the cultures and selectively for adolescent boys and girls.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine pathways from parent attachment to adolescent life satisfaction and to determine the mediating roles of peer attachment and romantic relationships. Methods: The participants were 221 high-school students (117 boys and 104 girls) living in Jeonnam province who had been in a romantic relationship for more than 3 months. The data were analyzed by t -tests, Pearson correlations, and SEM using SPSS 19.0 and Amos 18.0. Results: Based on the research objective, 4 important results were summarized. First, father attachment and mother attachment had direct effects on adolescent life satisfaction. Second, mother attachment had an indirect effect on adolescent life satisfaction through peer attachment. Third, father attachment had an indirect effect on adolescent life satisfaction through romantic relationships. Fourth, mother attachment had an indirect effect on adolescent life satisfaction through peer attachment and romantic relationships. Conclusion: The results from this study highlight the significant roles of parent attachment, peer attachment, and romantic relationships in adolescent life satisfaction. Specifically, the roles of father attachment and of romantic relationships in adolescent life satisfaction, which have seldom been explored in previous studies, should be emphasized. The findings can be used as an important basis for prospective research and practices for improving adolescent life satisfaction.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among parent-adolescent communication, adolescents self-esteem, social development, and home environment. Home environment includes sex, father's vocations, mother's employments, parents educational level, and religions. 275 adolescents (186 males and 89 females students) were selected from middle schools in Seoul. The results indicated that there was no significant difference in parent-adolescent communication, adolescents self-esteem and social development according to environmental factors, such as parents' age, educational level, and religions. Also adolescents self-esteem was highly correlated with parent-adolescent communication, especially with mother-adolescent open communication. Finally, adolescent development of sociality was highly correlated with parent-adolescent communication, but not significant relationship with mother-adolescent reverse-functional communication.

본 연구는 한국대학생의 부모자녀관계와 진로정체감의 관계에서 부모자녀진로합치과정의 매개효과를 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 구체적으로, 정서적으로 끈끈한 유대감(부자유친성정)과 권위적 효의식을 지지하는 상호협조적 부모자녀관계와 자녀의 독립성과 자율성을 지지하는 독립적 부모자녀관계가 어떠한 부모자녀진로합치과정을 거칠 때 진로정체감에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 4년제 대학생 509명의 자료를 분석하였으며, 병렬다중매개모형분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 부자유친성정은 보완합치와 조정합치과정을 완전매개하여 진로정체감으로 이어지는 것으로 드러났다. 권위적 효의식은 진로정체감에는 부정적인 직접 영향을 미치지만 보완합치와 조정합치과정을 매개하면 진로정체감에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 드러났다. 자녀의 자율성을 지지하는 부모자녀관계는 보완합치와 조정합치과정을 완전매개하여 진로정체감으로 이어지는 것으로 드러났다. 가족침입성은 진로정체감에 부정적인 직접 효과만을 갖는 것으로 드러났다. 한편 유사합치과정은 상호협조적 부모자녀관계와 독립적 부모자녀관계 모두에서 통계적으로 유의한 매개효과를 갖지 않았으며, 진로정체감과는 부적인 직접효과를 갖는 것으로 드러났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 부모자녀관계와 진로정체감의 관계에 대한 문화보편적 특성과 문화특수적 특성을 논의하였으며, 연구의 한계와 향후 연구방향을 제언하였다.

This study examined the influences of both peer and parent-child relationships on suicidal ideation in adolescents with a focus on interpersonal relationships in adolescence that can act as risks as well as protective factors for youth suicide. This study analyzed 5,440 middle and high school students drawn from data, the seventh Happy Planet Index of children-adolescent in Korea, and conducted a series of logistic regressions. The results are as follows. First, both direct and indirect involvement in the school violence affects suicidal ideation as a risk factor in peer relationships. However, the quality and quantity of close friends of adolescents do not represent a protective role against suicidal ideation insofar as they are exposed to school violence. Second, adolescents who live apart from one of their parents are vulnerable to suicidal ideation than those who live with two parents. Third, very poor parent-child relationships in adolescence are not necessarily associated with suicidal ideation in adolescents. Fourth, shared time or activities between parents and adolescents in terms of family meal times are more likely to reduce suicidal ideation in adolescents than the emotional characteristics (trustworthiness or a close relationship) of parents and adolescents. The findings provide implications that frequent contact and shared activities in terms of family dining may contribute to the prevention of adolescent suicide.

Purpose: This study was conducted as a descriptive research to identify relationships among parent-adolescent communication, self-efficacy and nursing professionalism in nursing students. Methods: The participants were 106 nursing college students in Chungchung Province in Korea. Data were collected from December 1 to 31, 2016, analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression using IBM SPSS statistics version 21. Results: Parent-adolescent communication was positively correlated with self-efficacy (r=.44, p<.001), and nursing professionalism (r=.30, p=.002), while self-efficacy was positively correlated with nursing professionalism (r=.42, p<.001). Parent-adolescent communication and nursing professionalism explained 29.0% of self-efficacy. Parent -adolescent communication and self-efficacy explained 19.5% of nursing professionalism. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest an empowerment program of parent-adolescent communication should be developed to provide valuable baseline data to counsel students who are developing self-efficacy and nursing professionalism in nursing curriculum.
