“…This gap is due in part to assumed residential transitions that may take place between adolescence and young adulthood. If emerging adults leave the family home during this life stage, often to attend college, parents, other adult caretakers, and siblings are believed to take on decreased importance to emerging adults' explorations of identity and relationships, with peers comprising a new and central reference group (Trinh et al 2014).…”

Existing research posits that young adults navigate the developmental tasks of emerging adulthood, including sexual and romantic relationship formation, in context of geographic and social separation from families of origin. This assumption of independence reflects the ongoing focus on privileged samples to the exclusion of working class, racial/ethnic minority, and immigrant young adults, many of whom live with family through the emerging adult years. This exploratory analysis employs interview data from a racially and socioeconomically diverse sample of 85 college attending emerging adults who live with or proximate to family to explore how families of origin shape interpersonal relationships. Findings show that family members impart both direct and indirect socialization messages that encourage career development over relationship formation. Families also engage in surveillance of emerging adults, applied disproportionately to women. Results are discussed in terms of differences and commonalities of experience across race/ethnicity, nativity, class, and gender, and the salience of family to these processes.

“…These studies used correlational: cross-sectional designs and applied analytical methods such as chi-square tests or regressions. For example, based on surveys of 312 Asian American college students (ages 17 to 22) from diverse ethnic backgrounds, Trinh et al (2014) examined sexual socialization of their parents and peers, and found that sexual communications from peers exceeded those from parents for most types of sexual messages; women received more conservative messages than did men; and peer communication was more closely related to risky sexual behaviors than was parent communication, especially in the case of acceptance of casual sex.Substance use: A total of 26 articles were on substance use, suggesting that this area continued to be one of the most active areas of research in the field of Asian American psychology. Articles mainly centered on alcohol use (n = 11;Banerjee et al, 2014; Blanco et al, 2014; Jimi Huh, Heesung Shin, et al, 2014; Jimi Huh, Thing, Abramova, Sami, & Unger, 2014;Lo, Cheng, & Howell, 2014;Mukherjea, Wackowski, Lee, & Delnevo, 2014;Pagano, Lee, & Sin, 2014;Pokhrel, Little, Fagan, Kawamoto, & Herzog, 2014; Pokhrel, Kim et al Page 16 Asian Am J Psychol.…”

This 2014 review of Asian American psychology is the sixth review in the series. It includes 316 articles that met the inclusion criteria established by the past five annual reviews. Featured articles were derived from three sources: 137 were generated via the search term "Asian American" in PyscINFO, 111 were generated via a search for specific Asian American ethnic groups, and 32 were generated via author searches of articles that met the inclusion criteria. The top primary topic was health and health-related behaviors, the most frequently employed study design was crosssectional, and the most studied Asian American ethnic group was Chinese. This year's review includes information on the target population of the primary topic, the age range and developmental period of participants, and whether the study design was cross-sectional or longitudinal. It also identifies top authors and journals contributing to the 2014 annual review. These new features reveal that the most common target population of the primary topic was Correspondence concerning this article should be sent to Su Yeong Kim, Department of Human Development and Family Sciences, 108 E Dean Keeton St., Stop A2702, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712. su.yeong.kim@utexas.edu.

Keywords review; Asian Americans, 2014The annual review of Asian American psychology facilitates a comprehensive, year-to-year understanding of the field by summarizing the major research topics and methodology used in Asian American psychology. Comparison of multiple annual reviews reveals past, current, and emerging trends. Illuminating these trends can be informative for new and experienced scholars alike, who can utilize the reviews to synthesize past and current research. This will help them identify emerging trends in order to plan future research that will make a meaningful contribution to scholarship on Asian American psychology. The present annual review uses the format established by the past five annual reviews, with the addition of new features for future annual reviews to consider. Like past reviews, the current issue presents major trends by primary topic, methodological design, and participant characteristics (e.g., average age and ethnicity). This review contributes a developmental perspective by including age range and developmental period in our categorization of participants, and by considering cross-...

“…Known protective factors of children's safe sex behaviors include parental sex communication, open sex discussions before initiation of sex, explicit parental disapproval of sexual practices, and parental monitoring (Foster et al, 2011;Hutchinson, 2007;Trinh et al, 2014). We found an association between high levels of parental communication and an increased use of condoms among respondents from the Philippines.…”

“…Parent-teen sexual communication leads to the development of a child's sexual values and norms that are similar to the parents (Foster, Byers, & Sears, 2011;Hutchinson, 2007;Trinh, Ward, Day, Thomas, & Levin, 2014). However, among Filipinos in the United States and the Philippines, open discussions about sex are generally uncomfortable and avoided.…”
