Studied concerns with the continuity of ethnic identity through maintenance of traditional culture for 46 educated middle-class Indian immigrant families. Results show strong similarity between parents and children on target attitudes, with some distinct intergenerational and gender asymmetries. Immigrants' efforts to control their own acculturation are discussed. (SLD)
