Parental Attitudes: A Study of German, Greek, and Second Generation Greek Migrant Adolescents
研究了342名希腊、德国及第二代希腊移民青少年对父母态度的适应情况,发现第二代移民在成就动机上与希腊人相似,但在其他方面更接近德国青少年。
The adaptation of attitudes toward parents following migration was tested in a transnational study of Greek, German, and second-generation immigrant Greek adolescents in Germany (N = 342). Three major factors resulted on the first section of the Attitudes Towards Parents Inventory and these corresponded to parental involvement, achievement motivation, and family cohesion. Principal component analysis of the second section extracted the two factors obedience and parental conflict. Greeks per se (i.e., migrants and nonmigrants) shared the characteristic of higher levels of achievement motivation, otherwise the second generation Greeks were more similar to adolescents from their “host” country. Several gender differences emerged. The results are discussed within the framework of cultural integration vs. pluralism.
