This study aims to describe the family socialization beliefs and practices of Korean immigrant parents through testing psychometric properties of several newly developed items and scales to assess the major components of the Korean traditional concept of family socialization, . These new measures were examined for validity and reliability. The findings show that Korean immigrant parents largely preserve their traditional and core parenting values, while also showing meaningful, yet not very dramatic, signs of adopting new cultural traits. The results also suggest that the acculturative process may not be simply bilinear but may generate a new, unique and blended value and behavior set from the two (or more) cultures involved. Culturally appropriate practice requires not only further validation of existing knowledge with minority groups, but the development of a theoretical framework of family socialization that recognizes the cultural uniqueness of immigrant families.
本研究旨在通过测试几个新开发的项目和量表的心理测量特性，来描述韩裔移民父母的家庭社会化观念和做法，以评估韩国传统家庭社会化概念的主要组成部分。对这些新措施进行了效度和信度检验。研究结果表明，韩裔移民父母在很大程度上保留了他们传统的核心育儿价值观，同时也表现出接受新文化特征的有意义但并非非常显著的迹象。结果还表明，文化适应过程可能并非简单的线性过程，而是可能从所涉及的两种（或更多）文化中产生一种新的、独特的和融合的价值观及行为模式。符合文化习惯的做法不仅需要进一步验证少数群体的现有知识，还需要建立一个认识到移民家庭文化独特性的家庭社会化理论框架。
