AB - The current study examines ways in which family communication patterns of Asian-American families influence communication and psychosocial behaviors of the children. In-depth interviews and focus groups with 17 Asian-American young adults reveal various communication issues between them and the first generation parents. First, the study found that communication patterns of Asian-American families are influenced by 1) the children’s internal identity struggle; 2) parents’ limited roles in the family; 3) children’s unwillingness to seek advice from their parents; 4) parents’ willingness to give advice; 5) parents' information-oriented and “Asian” communication style; and 6) children’s avoidance and passive communication style. Findings revealed that children’s identity issues and their willingness to maintain a conformity-oriented communication style play a role in shaping Asian-American family communication patterns. The study provides suggestions for strengthening mental health of young adult Asian Americans who have family communication problems, and offers suggestion for subsequent research.
