Abstract
Arab American families are some of the most understudied populations in psychology. For this reason we have presented a present study that examines the relationship between time spent living in the United States and parent-child conflict in multigenerational Arab-American families. Caregivers and their children will complete a survey that measures parent-child conflict, acculturative family distancing. This includes a qualitative section discussing culture-specific triggers for conflict in their families. There is currently no data for this on Arab-Americans, but prior research with other ethnicities did not find a relationship between our variables. We hypothesize that there is a positive relationship between time spent in the US and parent-child conflict, with varying levels of conflict across generations.
