Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v26 n2 p143-63 Apr 1997

Factors related to psychosocial adjustment of 113 adolescent immigrants to the United States from the People's Republic of China were studied. Levels of psychosocial functioning were lower for adolescents with higher family conflict, lower family organization, and higher family authoritarianism. Value orientation mediated the relationship between language preference and adjustment. (SLD)
