虽然文化适应差距通常与亚裔美国儿童的心理健康状况不佳有关，但一些研究未能发现文化适应差距与痛苦之间的显著关系。使用两种不同的方法来操作母亲和孩子之间的差距，目前的研究通过在韩裔美国家庭样本中测试以下假设来解决文献中的这种紧张关系。假设母亲-青少年在文化适应和文化适应水平上的差异与青少年的内化和外化症状有关，父母-青少年的沟通可以缓和差距-痛苦关系。对来自中西部地区的77名韩裔美国母亲-青少年夫妇进行了多信息问卷调查。令人惊讶的是，结果表明，低水平的母亲-青少年文化的和谐与最高水平的外化症状相关（相互作用术语法）。青少年与父亲沟通的感知显著调节了文化差异与内化症状之间的关系，即在文化差异较大的二人组中，与父亲沟通的感知较少与内化症状较多相关（差异计分法）。在临床上，这些发现表明了一个潜在的目标（即父母-青少年沟通），旨在改善移民家庭的家庭关系和青少年适应的治疗方案。
Although the acculturation gap generally has been associated with poor mental health outcomes among Asian American children, some studies have failed to find a significant relationship between the gap and distress. Using two different methods of operationalizing the gap between mothers and their children, the current study addressed this tension in the literature by testing the following hypotheses in a sample of Korean American families. It was hypothesized that mother–adolescent discrepancies in acculturation and enculturation levels would be associated with youth internalizing and externalizing symptoms and that parent–adolescent communication would moderate the gap–distress relationship. Multi-informant questionnaires were administered to 77 Korean American mother–adolescent dyads from the Midwest. Surprisingly, results indicated that consonance in low levels of mother–adolescent enculturation was associated with the highest levels of externalizing symptoms (interaction term method). Adolescents’ perception of communication with their fathers significantly moderated the relationship between the enculturation gap and internalizing symptoms, such that in dyads with a greater enculturation gap, less perceived open communication with fathers was associated with more internalizing symptoms (difference score method). Clinically, the findings indicate a potential target (i.e., parent–adolescent communication) for treatment programs that aim to improve family relations and youth adjustment in immigrant families.
