Child Resilience in Taiwanese Immigrant Families as a Function of Maternal Supports and Maternal Employment.

Honig, Alice S.; Wang, Yu-Chih

Early Child Development and Care, v139 p43-48 Dec 1997

Investigated resilience, as assessed by mothers, among 4- to 11-year-old children of Taiwanese immigrant families in the United States. Found that maternal support for child resilience and mixed cultural rearing style was most predictive of children's resilience, but maternal employment was not associated with resilience. Boys were less resilient than girls. (JPB)
