Özet:
According to the literature, Asian American students score higher on achievement tests than other minorities in the U.S. (Han 2008, Peng & Wright 2004; Sue & Okazaki 2012). The construct of "tiger parenting," first introduced by Amy Chua, may account for this higher achievement. Specifically, research postulates that "tiger parenting" among Asian American families living in the U.S. may predict improved academic achievement (Kim et al., 2012; Juang, Qin & Park, 2013; Way, Okazaki et al., 2013). Chua (2011) originally describes "tiger parenting" as resembling an authoritarian parenting style that enforces discipline to the child in home, social, and academic settings. Past literature demonstrates mixed results in examining the impact of "tiger parenting" on academic achievement with some findings indicating improved academic achievement (Watabe & Hibbard, 2014), while other research findings suggesting no significant impact (Kim et al., 2012). Lee and Zane (1998) postulate that generational status may be another important variable to consider when examining the academic achievement of Asian Americans. The present study examined the impact of "tiger parenting" and generational status on academic achievement among six major Asian American subgroups. The present study conducted secondary analyses on data collected from a sample of 3,511 Asian American participants drawn from the Pew research data (Pew Research Center, 2013). Two independent t-tests were conducted to examine whether there were differences between U.S. born Asian Americans vs. non-U.S. born Asian Americans with regards to academic achievement and if there are differences between "tiger parented" participants vs. non-"tiger parented" participants. In addition, the present study examined whether Asian subgroups differ between "tiger parented" participants in their achievement scores through a one-way between-subjects ANOVA analysis. Results revealed that non-U.S. born Asian American participants had significantly higher GPAs (M = 3.3632, SD =1.04) than U.S. born Asian American participants (M = 3.30, SD = 1.11), suggesting that generational status does not impact achievement abilities. In addition, results indicated "tiger parented" Asian American participants had significant higher achievement (M =3.48, SD =.973) than non-"tiger parented" Asian American participants ( M = 3.27, SD = 1.100), indicating "tiger parenting" may be a factor for academic achievement. Furthermore, the results from the present study suggest that participants exposed to "tiger parenting" differ in their achievement scores. These results support previous research that "tiger parenting" may lead to improved academic achievement; more attention should be dedicated to additional factors that contribute to this phenomenon of improved academic achievement within this population (Lee & Zane 1998). Future research is necessary to confirm these findings using a validated measure for "tiger parenting" with a diverse Asian American sample.
