SUNY-University of Hawaii Cross-Cultural Study, 1970-1971

Selection prerequisites for participating families required that both parents be Japanese; families were still intact whereby some children were still living at home; socially and psychologically families were adaptive. For the sample as a whole, families were selected so that both nisei and sansei generations, as well as socioeconomic and educational levels, were adequately represented in the sample. Interviews explored four broad topics, relationship with spouse; parents and children; family and relatives; and family and community.
