AI Article Synopsis
- The studies examined how low-income immigrant mothers from Mainland China socialize their children academically, focusing on first graders in the U.S. and kindergartners in Hong Kong.
- The findings revealed that these mothers highlighted the importance of hard work and achieving good grades more than African American and native Hong Kong mothers did.
- This emphasis on academic success correlated with discussions about discrimination and beliefs in education as a means for upward mobility, as well as children's expectations of criticism for not being persistent in their studies.
Article Abstract
Academic socialization by low-income immigrant mothers from Mainland China was investigated in two studies. Immigrant Chinese mothers of first graders (n = 52; M = 38.69) in the United States (Study 1) and kindergartners (n = 86; M = 36.81) in Hong Kong (Study 2) tell stories that emphasized achieving the best grade through effort more than did African American (n = 39; M = 31.44) and native Hong Kong (n = 76; M = 36.64) mothers, respectively. The emphasis on achievement was associated with mothers' heightened discussion on discrimination (Study 1) and beliefs that education promotes upward mobility (Study 2), as well as children's expectations that a story protagonist would receive maternal criticism for being nonpersistent in learning (Study 2).

Objective: This pilot trial aimed to determine implementation processes and outcomes to integrate Basic Worker Health Education (WHEB) in co-ethnic, not directly worker-focused, community agencies that function as cultural-linguistic brokers and service providers to immigrants.
Methods: A Chinese WHEB prototype was developed and implemented at Chinese, Pan-Asian, and nonprofit community-based and Chinese faith-based organizations (N = 8). The implementation process (delivery model choice and areas for change) and outcomes (suitability and adoption sustainability) were evaluated qualitatively.

Unlabelled: The Yuhuangmiao culture emerged around the 7th to the 4th centuries BCE in northeastern China near Beijing. The burial ritual with stone layers, numerous animal deposits, and the material culture indicate a strong steppe connection. It is often used to support the narratives in the Chinese historical texts that people living in the area had a distinctive lifestyle from those in the southern, agricultural-based communities and that the two groups often had a hostile relationship.
