Abstract
This study examined how family conflict (FC) in Asian immigrant families affect child behaviors (CB), using self-report from parents on demographics, acculturation/enculturation, mental health distress, CB, and FC. Results indicate that FC is positively associated with children’s conduct and emotional problems after controlling for mental health and levels of acculturation/enculturation.
