Abstract ▼ AI-Helper

The purpose of this study is to examine the attachment representations of Korean immigrant mothers in America. The subjects were 25 first-generation Korean immigrant mothers who reside in Los Angeles. The Adult Attachment Interview (George, Kaplan, & Main, 1985) was used for assessing their attachment representations. As a result, 36% of the mothers were classified as secure-autonomous (F), 52% as insecure-dismissing (Ds), and 12% as insecure-preoccupied (E). It was concluded that there were lower rates of the secure type among Korean immigrant mothers who had immigrated to the U.S. during the 70's and 80's and higher rates of the dismissing type compared to mothers in South Korea.

문제 정의

Thus, the present study aims to examine Korean immigrant mothers' internal working models in terms of their attachment representations of their parents.

제안 방법

A total of 25 first-generation Korean mothers residing in Los Angeles, CA participated in this study. The selection of study participants was made by snowball sampling; with help from pastors at local Korean American churches, letters were distributed at worship service requesting assistance and participation in the study. Prospective interest in participation was received through phone calls and e-mails.
The entire interview, including all comments by the interviewer and the interviewee, is transcribed verbatim, including (timed) pauses, disfluencies, and restarts. The transcribed responses from these interviews are placed into one of four adult attachment classification categories: secure-autonomous, insecure-dismissing, insecure-preoccupied, insecure-unresolved/disorganized. The AAI scoring system includes a set of 5-point continuous rating scales that assess the speakers’ past childhood experiences with each parent (e.

A total of 25 first-generation Korean mothers residing in Los Angeles, CA participated in this study. The selection of study participants was made by snowball sampling; with help from pastors at local Korean American churches, letters were distributed at worship service requesting assistance and participation in the study.
For their convenience, the study was conducted at the participants’ homes which the researcher visited, with the exception of three mothers who participated in the study from their places of employment.
In order to check the amount of time required and the appropriateness for the interviewing process, a preliminary interview was conducted in the beginning of July of 2007 with an adult from South Korea and a Korean American adult. The protocol of the AAI questions for Korean American mothers was modified upon the preliminary interview.
The AAIs and the assessments were conducted by the first author who completed intensive training at a seminar for AAI assessment held at Yonsei University, and the analyses of the data were confirmed by two researchers trained in AAI at the University of Texas at Austin. Agreement on the classification of the categories for all the participants among the first author and the two researchers was 100%.
This study was conducted from July 15th to August 30th in 2007 with the first-generation Korean mothers who live in LA. For their convenience, the study was conducted at the participants’ homes which the researcher visited, with the exception of three mothers who participated in the study from their places of employment.

성능/효과

In this study, the AAI classification of first-generation Korean American mothers showed 36% of mothers as secure-autonomous, 52% as insecure-dismissing, and 12% as insecure-preoccupied. No one was categorized as insecure-unsolved/disorganized.
Also, the results were consistent to those in the study of Weinfield, Sroufe, and Egeland (2000) which targeted low-income families. The rates of the AAI classification to secure-autonomous, insecure-dismissing, and insecure-preoccupied were 32%, 63%, 9%, respectively. Weinfield et al.
