Description
Arab American families are among the most understudied populations in psychology. Thus, we present a study examining the relationship between time spent in the United States and parent-child conflict in multigenerational Arab-American families. Caregivers and children will complete a survey measuring parent-child conflict and acculturative family distancing, including a qualitative section on culture-specific conflict triggers. There is currently no data on Arab Americans, but prior research with other ethnicities did not find a significant relationship between our variables. We hypothesize a positive relationship between time in the US and parent-child conflict, with varying conflict levels across generations.
