This study compared adolescent perceptions of parental support, monitoring, and authoritative decision-making in samples of Hmong and European Americans and differences in parental influence on adolescent outcomes across groups. The results suggested that Hmong American youth perceived less parental support and monitoring and were less likely to report authoritative decision-making with parents. Parental support and monitoring were associated with higher self-esteem and GPA and lowered risky health behaviors in both samples. Results also suggest that authoritative decision-making by mothers was a more important predictor of adolescent GPA and risky behaviors for the European American adolescents (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)
