Associations Between Familism and Psychological Adjustment Among Korean Emerging Adults: Underlying Processes
In this study, we investigated whether and how familism was linked to Korean emerging adults' psychological adjustment (i.e., depressive symptoms and life satisfaction) through multiple mediators. Our mediators were two aspects of parent-child relationships-conformity to parental expectations and parent-child affection-and differentiation of self, a key concept in Bowen's family systems theory. The data came from 420 South Korean university stude…
