Answer to #1

First generation Asian-American immigrants children tend to change and become
Americanized more rapidly than their elders, and often become a driving force for
changing their family's structure. Pyke found that Asian American children often try to
teach their parents how to express affection, and change the organization and use of
authority within the family. Communication patterns are changed, patterns for expression
of affection and intimacy, and the roles of family members change accordingly.

Answer to #5

Pyke's research portrays the power of culture in shaping the lives of first generation
Korean and Vietnamese immigrants as they adjust to and assimilate American culture.
Asian family culture tends to emphasize strong parental authority, strict upbringing,
emotionally distant child-parent relationships, and strong respect for adults and elders.
Most of these qualities are vastly modified as Asian children are influenced by American
culture. Pyke found that Asian children tend to adopt and internalize conceptions of the
normal American family from idealized images of family life obtained from watching
television and other media, such as the Brady Bunch. When Asian American children
compare themselves to these idealized images, they often conclude that they and their
family are deficient, and form negative self-images of those who do not come from the
ideal family type. Thus, public images of the normal American family constitute an
ideological template that shapes Asian American familial perspectives.
