Abstract
Abstract The present research investigated the influence of cultural values of parents and quality of parent–child relationships on psychological acculturation and distress of Korean–American young adults. The study utilized both explicit and implicit methods to assess ethnic and national attitude and identity and the predictive value of each method for the psychological distress. An implicit ethnic attitude measure was positively correlated with self–reported positive parent–child relationships and also predicted self–reported distress. The influence of negative parent–child relationships and parental traditionalism on distress was partially mediated by degree of discrepancy between implicit and explicit ethnic attitude among those who showed inconsistent responses on the two measures. The study demonstrated the utility of implicit psychological approach for culture and ethnic minority research.
