Cultural background not only influences family beliefs about the value of education, but may affect how academic expectations are communicated by parents and perceived by their children. This study examined differences in willingness to conform to parents' expectations of academic achievement as perceived by American, Chinese-American, and Chinese high school students. Findings indicated that Chinese students were more willing to accept their parents' advice and cared more about fulfilling academic expectations than did American students. Students in all three groups had similar feelings of independence. The views of Chinese-American students reflected the influence of both their Chinese heritage and the American culture in which they resided.
文化背景不仅影响家庭对教育价值的信念，还可能影响父母传达学业期望以及孩子对这些期望的认知方式。本研究调查了美国、华裔美国人和中国高中生所感知到的在顺应父母学业成就期望方面的差异。研究结果表明，与美国学生相比，中国学生更愿意接受父母的建议，也更在意达成学业期望。三组学生的独立感相似。华裔美国学生的观点反映了其中国传统和所居住的美国文化的双重影响。
