viewing Family Relations through a linguistic lens symbolic aspects of language maintenance in immigrant families
Journal of Family Communication, 2005Co-Authors: Michal TannenbaumAbstract:Immigration often involves language shifts, and dilemmas bearing on language maintenance. This article discusses some of the psychological implications of mother tongue maintenance and of complete language shift, especially in the communication between parents and children. The article suggests a novel perspective on language maintenance in immigrant families by drawing on attachment theory and discussing various aspects of language maintenance in relation to intimate Family experiences. This qualitative study focused on the parents' perspective on various issues related to their mother tongue and the influence of early experiences on their current language behavior with their children. Interviews were conducted with seven immigrant families living in Sydney, Australia. Central themes that emerged from their narratives, related to language and Family Relations in the past and at present, are analyzed and discussed in light of psychological motives and emotional aspects related to language maintenance patt...

the association between language maintenance and Family Relations chinese immigrant children in australia
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2002Co-Authors: Michal Tannenbaum, Pauline HowieAbstract:This study investigated the relevance of emotional and familial factors to language maintenance in immigrant families. Information about the Family Relations of 40, 9–12 year-old children from Chinese-speaking immigrant families in Sydney, Australia, was obtained using the Family Relations Test, the Family System Test and the Separation Anxiety Test. Information about language maintenance patterns was obtained using a new Language Maintenance Questionnaire focusing on various aspects of language maintenance. Analysis revealed that children who were more likely to use and prefer to use their parents' mother tongue were those who perceived their Family to be more cohesive and low in hierarchy, had fewer negatively loaded emotions associated with parents and showed indications of a secure attachment pattern. The results are discussed in terms of the strong emotional aspects embedded in one's mother tongue and its importance to one's psychological and familial reality.

intergenerational Family Relations civic organisations and the political socialisation of second generation immigrant youth
Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, 2015Co-Authors: Veronica Terriquez, Hyeyoung KwonAbstract:We build upon research on immigrant political incorporation, intergenerational Family Relations, and civic organizations in order to investigate the Relationship between parents' political engagement and their children's civic and political participation. Drawing on survey data from a representative sample of California's 1.5 and second generation youth population, our analyses demonstrate support for the top-down model of political socialization in which barriers to immigrant parents' political engagement suppress the civic and political participation of their US-raised children. However, this is not the case for our unique sample of youth who participated in activist civic organizations. Our findings from follow-up in-depth interviews with survey respondents indicate that, while most youth do not actively politicize their immigrant parents, those who gained significant political experience through activist organizations often seek to orient their immigrant parents to US politics. In describing the effor...

Our findings from follow-up in-depth interviews with survey respondents indicate that, while most youth do not actively politicize their immigrant parents, those who gained significant political experience through activist organizations often seek to orient their immigrant parents to US politics. In describing the efforts of some youth to educate their foreign-born parents about politics and encourage their participation, we evidence trickle-up effects in the political socialization of immigrant families. We argue that future research on activist civic associations should consider the impact of individual-level organizational membership on Family-level patterns of political engagement.

age cohort ancestry and immigrant generation influences in Family Relations and psychological well being among black caribbean Family members
Journal of Social Issues, 2007Co-Authors: James S Jackson, Ivy Forsythebrown, Ishtar O GoviaAbstract:Immigration is contributing to the U.S. population becoming increasingly ethnically diverse. This article examines the role of Family Relations and well-being among different generations of Black Caribbean immigrants. Family disruptions, such as migration, can have complex effects on the support networks and emotional well-being of Family members. Data from a recently completed national study of American Blacks in the United States, however, reveal significant similarities across ancestry and immigrant status in Family contact, solidarity and well-being. It is concluded that intrafamilial Relations may serve to overcome barriers of geographical distance in providing comparable levels of contact, solidarity, and well-being for both U.S.-born and immigrant Black Caribbean Family members of different generations. Because of the increasing numbers of immigrant elders, these sources of Family support will become increasingly more important in bridging the gaps between government resources and needed assistance in an aging society. The dramatic increase in life expectancy has contributed to people living in more complex Family structures, having greater geographical mobility, new ∗ Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to James S.

from the Family universe to the outside world Family Relations school attitude and perception of racism in caribbean and filipino adolescents
Health & Place, 2009Co-Authors: Cecile Rousseau, Ghayda Hassan, Toby Measham, Nicolas Moreau, Myrna Lashley, Thelma Castro, Caminee Blake, Georges MckenzieAbstract:Caribbean and Filipino immigrant families in Canada have much in common: the women have often immigrated as domestic workers, first-generation children may be separated from their parents for long periods, and they must deal with negative stereotypes of their ethnic group. This transcultural study looks at the associations between Family Relations and adolescents' perceptions of both their own group and the host society, and analyzes how these affect their mental health. The results suggest that Family cohesion plays a key role in shaping adolescents' perceptions of racism in the host country and in promoting a positive appraisal of their own community, thus highlighting the need for a systemic understanding of Family and intergroup Relations.
