The Role of Asian American Values for Korean American Undergraduates' Well-Being: Emphasizing Values within a Psychosociocultural Approach
Jeanett Castellanos; Alberta M. Gloria; Tracy C. Guan; Kristal Lee
Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, v17 n2 p268-283 2024
This is a culture-specific examination of Korean American undergraduates' correlates of well-being that implemented a psychosociocultural approach (Gloria & Rodriguez, 2000) to assess the interrelated dimensions of self-beliefs (psychological), support and expectations of others (social), and personal and contextual values (cultural). Given the importance of intersectional- (i.e., self-identified gender, college generation, student standing) and values-informed explorations (Guan, Gloria, et al., 2020), the study assessed how Asian cultural values (emotional self-control, humility, collectivism, conformity to norms, and family recognition through achievement; Kim et al., 2005) informed the well-being of 221 Korean American undergraduates. Results revealed a 2 × 2 × 2 interaction of college generation, student standing, and self-identified gender (multivariate analysis of variance) and relationship patterns among the dimensions (canonical correlations) with cultural values emerging salient. The dimensions collectively accounted for 60.2% of variance for well-being with the psychological and social dimensions emerging as the strongest predictors. Implications for university personnel to support Korean American undergraduates' well-being are discussed.
