Parent-adolescent conflict appears to be similar across different immigrant generations and cultural groups in frequency and implications for adjustment. However, the same level of argumentation may mask hidden conflictual feelings that are not expressed. Why an acculturation gap leads to such conflictual feelings in some adolescents and not others is still not well understood. Addressing this and other important issues of parent-adolescent difference by clearly separating acculturation gaps, conflictual feelings, and actual arguments would go a long way toward helping us to understand the role of family relationships in the adaptation and adjustment of adolescents from Asian and Latin American backgrounds.
在不同移民代际和文化群体中，亲子冲突在频率和对适应的影响方面似乎是相似的。然而，相同程度的争论可能掩盖了未表达出来的潜在冲突情绪。为什么文化适应差距会在一些青少年而非其他青少年中引发这种冲突情绪，目前仍未得到很好的理解。通过清晰地区分文化适应差距、冲突情绪和实际争论来解决亲子差异的这一问题以及其他重要问题，将大大有助于我们理解家庭关系在亚洲和拉丁美洲背景青少年的适应与调整过程中所起的作用。
