The intersection of a family's heritage culture and new mainstream cultural norms results in person-to-person differences in values, beliefs, and behaviors, particularly among immigrant families. These differences often lead to divergent cultural views and patterns of behavior both within and between family members. According to the acculturation gap distress hypothesis, these cultural orientation gaps between family members have consequences for family functioning, and, in particular, adolescents' adjustment. Studies supporting this notion have primarily focused on processes in parent-adolescent dyads. Although scholarship on family cultural gaps emerged from a systems perspective, application of key systems tenets are notably limited in existing work. In this paper, we review the background and current state of research on family cultural gaps, provide an overview of key principles of systems perspectives, and then, integrate the cultural gap literature with key systems principles to identify future directions in research and theory.
一个家庭的传承文化与新的主流文化规范的交汇，导致了人与人之间在价值观、信仰和行为上的差异，尤其是在移民家庭中。这些差异常常导致家庭成员内部以及家庭成员之间不同的文化观念和行为模式。根据文化适应差距困扰假说，家庭成员之间的这些文化取向差距会对家庭功能产生影响，尤其是对青少年的适应能力。支持这一观点的研究主要集中在亲子二元关系的过程上。尽管关于家庭文化差距的学术研究是从系统的角度展开的，但关键系统原则在现有研究中的应用明显有限。在本文中，我们回顾了家庭文化差距研究的背景和现状，概述了系统视角的关键原则，然后将文化差距文献与关键系统原则相结合，以确定研究和理论的未来方向。
