The goal of the present study was to investigate the role of the social context in the parenting style of immigrant Chinese mothers and the maladaptive social behaviors in their preschool children. Participants included 78 first-generation immigrant Chinese mothers with preschool children residing in small co-ethnic communities in Maryland. Although no significant associations were found between the variables of interest, follow-up analyses revealed that spousal support for the parenting role uniquely predicted less verbal hostility, whereas kin support for the parenting role uniquely predicted less physical coercion. Non-kin support for the parenting role did not predict parenting style. The findings demonstrated the distinct function of support for the parenting role as opposed to the general support network and the significance of kin for the negative parenting behaviors of immigrant Chinese mothers. Findings can inform community agencies about the significance of spousal and kinship support for immigrant Chinese families.
