Intergenerational conflict among Vietnamese immigrants and their children can lead to several adverse outcomes, such as undue pressure to succeed and related stress and problem behaviors. The purpose of this study was to examine how cultural value conflicts between Vietnamese American parents and their children influence the social and academic decisions of Vietnamese Americans attending 4-year higher education institutions. This examination was disaggregated by gender and included students of other ethnicities to determine if any differences found were unique to Vietnamese American families. This dissertation involved use of two scales from Rahman and Witenstein's (2014) survey instrument that measures cultural values conflict with family in academic and sociocultural decision making. Of the total sample of 297 students, the distribution of students was split between 111 Vietnamese (37.4%) and 186 nonVietnamese (62.6%) students. Sociocultural decision making items that most influenced students' decisions involved conflict between parents' and students' opinions, as well as differing perspectives on dating. The most common factors that affected students' academic decisions and caused conflict were parents comparing students to others and the importance families placed on students' grades. Further, Spearman correlations indicated a significant positive association between sociocultural decision making and academic decision making among the Vietnamese sample (rs = 0.60, p < 0.001). Additionally, although there were no significant differences in sociocultural decision making by ethnicity, the Vietnamese American students had statistically significant differences in academic decision making. The results have significance for college advising and counseling practice among Vietnamese American college students.
