“…Kwon, Suh, Bang, Jung, and Moon (2010) compared the educational perspectives of Korean American students' parents and teachers by surveying 430 parents and 143 teachers, and interviewing 16 teachers, administrators, and parents. Results indicated that teachers often misunderstood Korean parents' perspectives on the goals of education and underestimated the parents' ways of supporting their children's education.…”

This article provides a systematic and critical review of all behavioral science research articles about Asian Americans published in 2010. As the second review of the series, we followed the methodology and format employed in the first annual review of Asian American psychology articles published in 2009 (B. S. K. Kim, Wong, & Maffini, 2010) to facilitate a discussion of trends in contents and methods of published research articles in the field. A search using PsycINFO identified 261 articles that were coded for topic areas, research methodology, and populations studied. We also provide a narrative summary of the articles, categorized thematically by topic areas, and conclude with a review of methodological and topical trends in empirical research of Asian Americans.

“…Some Asian immigrant parents may favor parent–teacher meetings that allow them to interact with teachers and build social capital, and parents whose children are high achievers may participate in PTO meetings to gain college information and resources (Ngo & Lee, 2007). However, cultural differences and language and structural barriers may discourage parents’ participation in volunteering, fundraising, and school events (Choi, 2007; Kwon et al., 2010). Parent participation in the wider community is linked to lower 2‐year college enrollment for Asian students.…”

We investigated the relationship between Asian parent empowerment and their children's college enrollment in a sample of 357 Asian parents from various ethnic subgroups using the High School Longitudinal Study 2009. A multinomial logistic regression indicated differences in Asian students' college enrollment by ethnic subgroup and income and in the role of personal and community parent empowerment in college enrollment. The results indicate the danger of the model minority myth in masking disparities among Asian students.

“…Research to date on young immigrant children's heritage, language, and identity argued that in order to survive and to feel a sense of belonging in new communities and environments with native English speaking peers, young immigrant students adopt negative perspectives of their heritage culture, identity, and mother tongue (Corson, 2001;Fillmore, 1991;Kwon et al, 2010;Li, 2002;Tse, 2001). Unlike previous studies' findings, the six children aged 5-8 years in this study, whose families were engaging in an ethnic community-based chorus, showed a firm and positive perspective toward their ethnic and sociocultural identity as either Korean or Korean American.…”

Negotiating identities and communities: Unheard voices of Korean immigrant parents and young children

This study examines social narratives of Korean immigrant families with their young children focusing on how Korean immigrant families describe themselves based on their ethnic community experiences. This study helps uncover their dynamic identities as a Korean, which cannot be bound by a single level of racial identity development. The findings indicate that the parents repeatedly expressed strong resistance against certain stereotypes attributed to their ethnic group, problematizing such stereotypes and critically consciously setting themselves apart, different from the label of "Typical Korean," whereas the children showed a firm and positive perspective toward their ethnic and sociocultural identity as either Korean or Korean American. Findings suggest that immigrant parents may pay more careful attention building strong and healthy communities where children can develop a positive sense of identity. This study also sheds light on diverse aspects that have not yet been emphasized in the research on how the Korean families negotiate their identities and communities while living as immigrants.
