Redefining the Roles of Parents and Social Structure in the Educational Outcomes of Cambodian Young Adults
In this article, we examine the roles of Coleman’s social capital in university attendance among Cambodian young adults, utilizing grounded theory that includes in-depth interviews with 10 purposefully selected third-year university students. Results indicate that self-motivation, parental expectations, extended family assistance, mentors’ assistance, sibling inspirations, and social norms serve as student-acquired resources that facilitate unive…
Representations of Psychological Sense of Community in Children’s Literature about Chinese-Born Adopted Girls
This study examines the literary representation of adopted Chinese girls’ psychological sense of community in Chinese-American communities. Psychological sense of community is defined as the perception that an individual is part of an inclusive social network (Hill, 1996). This sense is multi-dimensional; three specific dimensions are living in a bicultural community, participating in cultural festivals, and replicating birth-country food practic…
Parent-Adolescent Decision Making
Contemporary research on parent-adolescent decision making has been concerned with decision outcomes and has viewed these outcomes as indicators of adolescent autonomy. We offer an alternative, dialogical perspective, which directs attention to how adolescents and parents co-construct a decision. The analysis is based on parent and daughter narrations of an important school choice-the decision to apply to a new college-preparatory middle school f…
Sibling Roles Represented in Children's Books about Chinese–US Family Adoption
This study examined the presence of protector and educator sibling roles in children's books about adoption of Chinese daughters by US families. A qualitative content analysis was conducted on a sample of 27 books. The books were coded independently by two researchers. Directional coding (Hsieh & Shannon, 2005) for the presence/absence of protector and educator roles was conducted. The results indicated that the protector role was evident when si…
Girls Discuss Choice of an All-Girl Middle School

In contrast, a sociocultural/dialogical perspective draws attention to the importance of organization as well as variability in identity systems, and thus to the creation of pers…
