Three Forms of Korean American Indirect Parental Warmth
Associations With Maternal Predictors and Adolescent Outcomes
Datos Bibliográficos
Korean American parents express warmth indirectly (e.g., through devoted attention), which can be contrasted with explicit expressions of warmth (e.g., stating love, hugging). This study investigated three distinct forms of indirect warmth. Thoughtfulness involves parents anticipating and meeting children's needs before they are expressed. Devotion to education concerns prioritizing a supportive learning environment over parental interests. Guan behavior involves communicating clear standards to children, in a manner sensitive to their abilities. The present longitudinal study examined, in a path analysis, whether Time 1 (T1) Korean American adolescents' perceptions of the three separate forms of indirect warmth were positively predicted by T1 maternal reports of supportiveness and demandingness or guan ideology. Guan ideology predicted devotion, β = 0.08, p = 0.048, as well as guan behavior, β = 0.11, p = 0.008. Supportiveness predicted thoughtfulness, β = 0.11, p = 0.005. The study also examined whether the T1 variables predicted T2 adolescent outcomes. T1 thoughtfulness predicted T2 prosocial behavior, β = 0.15, p = 0.007, and relationship quality, β = 0.05, p = 0.001. T2 GPA was predicted by T1 supportiveness, β = 0.12, p = 0.048, and devotion, β = 0.18, p = 0.014. There was evidence for full mediation from supportiveness via thoughtfulness for relationship quality, β = 0.02, p = 0.029, and prosocial behavior β = 0.02, p = 0.052. Because supportiveness had its influence on the latter two variables via thoughtfulness, those who work with Korean American families may want to consider addressing thoughtfulness directly
