by Kelly, Kristina M. Pecora, Psy.D., THE CHICAGO SCHOOL OF PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOLOGY, 2007, 132 pages; 3287164

Abstract:

Culture is one of many factors that contribute to the complexities of psychological processes and is obviously important to the understanding of culturally diverse populations. In an attempt to discover the meaning of culture within a specific ethnic group, Chinese immigrant mothers and their native-born daughters were asked to discuss their experiences as acculturating individuals, their relationships with each other, and how the process of living within both a traditional and new society has affected their traditions, their values, and their cultural selves. Analyses of questionnaire and interview data were completed from a phenomenological perspective, with emphasis on personal meaning of experiences and relationships.
