Description
For immigrant parents, acculturation processes may contribute to acculturative stress in parent-adolescent relationships. Acculturative stress has been associated with psychopathology risk (Hwang & Ting, 2008), and strained parent-child relationships (Heeseung & Dancy, 2009). Other findings link parental mental health with parent-adolescent conflict (Dekovic, 1999). Our study examined the relationships among parent-adolescent acculturative stress, parental depression, and parent-adolescent conflict among Korean immigrants. Mediation analyses indicated parental depression mediated the relationship between parent-adolescent acculturative stress and parent-adolescent conflict (β = .08, 95% CI [.00, .19]). Findings suggest parent-adolescent acculturative stress may negatively influence parental mental health, which may then influence parent-adolescent conflict.
