Examines the relationship between self-perceptions of parenting behavior and mothers' perceived acculturation levels for themselves and their children in 95 Chinese immigrant mothers. Data showed that mothers perceived their children as more acculturated than themselves, a larger perceived acculturation gap was associated with more parenting difficulties, and several factors contributed to perceptions of a more favorable parenting experience.
