采用每日日记的方法，调查在美国的中国青少年在多大程度上帮助和陪伴他们的家人，以及这种行为对他们参与其他活动和心理健康的影响。青少年(N=140)完成检查表，在检查表中他们在2周内每天报告自己的活动和心理健康状况。青少年表现出更大的倾向于平衡家庭义务和学业要求，而不是日常与同龄人的社交生活。女孩每天在两次活动之间的冲突略多于购买。参与家庭义务的程度或家庭义务与其他活动的平衡与青少年的心理痛苦无关。这些发现表明，移民家庭的青少年每天都试图将他们的文化传统与美国社会的某些方面结合起来，这是一种复杂的方式。与一些观察者的期望相反，这项研究中的年轻人似乎实现了这样的整合，而对他们的心理健康几乎没有什么影响。
A daily diary method was employed to examine the extent to which Chinese adolescents in die United States assist and spend time with their families, and the implications of such behaviors for their involvement in other activities and psychological well-being. Adolescents (N = 140) completed checklists in which they reported their activities and psychological well-being every day for a period of 2 weeks. Adolescents showed a greater propensity to balance family obligations with their academic demands than with their social life with peers on a daily basis. Girls experienced slightly more daily conflict between activities than buys. Neither the extent of involvement in family obligations nor the balancing of family obligations with other activities were associated with psychological distress among adolescents. These findings demonstrate the complex manner in which adolescents from immigrant families attempt to combine their cultural traditions with selected aspects of American society on a daily basis. In contrast to the expectations of some observers, the youths in this study appeared to accomplish such an integration with little cost to their psychological well-being.
