Rates of college attendance have increased throughout the world. This study asked whether students across nations experience high involvement with parents (frequent contact and support) and how satisfied they are with parental involvement. College students from four major Western and Asian economies participated: Germany ( = 458), Hong Kong ( = 276), Korea ( = 257), and the United States ( = 310). Consistent with solidarity theory, students across nations reported frequent contact with parents and receiving several forms of social support (e.g., practical, emotional, and advice) every month. Multilevel models revealed Asian students received more frequent parental support than German or US students, but were less satisfied with that support. Students in Hong Kong resided with parents more often and gave more support to parents than students in other cultures. Discussion focuses on cultural (i.e., filial obligation) and structural (i.e., coresidence) factors explaining parental involvement.
世界各地的大学入学率都有所上升。本研究探讨了不同国家的学生与父母的参与度是否很高(频繁联系和支持)以及他们对父母参与的满意度如何。来自四个主要西方和亚洲经济体的大学生参与了研究:德国(n = 458)、中国香港(n = 276)、韩国(n = 257)和美国(n = 310)。与团结理论一致,各国学生都报告说与父母频繁联系,并且每月都能得到几种形式的社会支持(如实际支持、情感支持和建议)。多层次模型显示,亚洲学生比德国或美国学生得到更频繁的父母支持,但对这种支持的满意度较低。与其他文化背景的学生相比,中国香港的学生与父母同住的频率更高,并且给予父母的支持更多。讨论集中在解释父母参与的文化(即孝道义务)和结构(即同住)因素上。
