Title of Research Project: The Relations of Acculturation, Enculturation, and Acculturative Family Distancing to Depressive Symptoms as Mediated by Family Conflict: A Study of Taiwanese Adults
This is a study on the experiences of Taiwanese adults who came to the U.S. or Canada during middle school or high school unaccompanied by parents. The goals of the study are to (a) clarify how immigration has influenced Taiwanese adults’ experiences living in the U.S. or Canada, and (b) obtain some understanding of how Taiwanese parents and their adult children interact when they are separated by a great physical distance over a long period of time. Results of this study will hopefully inform how various resources and techniques can be used with this unique population.
