Produktbeschreibung
This is an exploratory study of the cultural
differences between recent immigrant Filipino youth
("Pinoys") and American born or Americanized
Filipinos ("Fil-Ams"). While this difference results
in occasional conflicts, it generally takes the form
of avoidance and negative perceptions toward the
other group. Both groups experience intergenerational
tension and may struggle with acculturation or
assimilation. However, they experience these
psychosocial issues differently. Immigrant Filipino
youth face a difficult adjustment to their adopted
country including academic problems, while their
American born and Americanized counterparts face a
cultural identity crisis. Survey data were collected
from 55 Filipino students from one Daly City,
California high school. Their responses will help
inform social work practice with the Filipino
population in the United States and will address
issues of cultural competence when practicing social
work interventions.
