Professor Stephen Russell, with his colleague Lisa Crockett from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, has been involved in a multi-year study of cultural differences in parenting in the United States. The project investigates immigrant adolescents' understandings of relationships with their mothers and fathers, and the link between parent-adolescent relationships and adolescent well-being. Understanding the father-adolescent relationship has become an important focus of their study. A new publication from the study (1) explored Mexican American youths' understandings of good relationships with fathers. For Mexican-American youth in this study, good relationships with fathers were understood when fathers provided for the family; fathers showed emotional support, but only indirectly. At a recent conference, the study team presented the results of a study of European American and Asian American adolescents (2). The study showed that the measure and meaning of paternal support was similar for European and Chinese American adolescents, but distinct for Filipino American youth. Further, delinquency and depression were similarly associated with low support from fathers for European and Chinese American youth, but not for Filipino American youth.
