A Comparison of Family Characteristics of Asian-American and Anglo-American High Achievers

Esther Lee Yao

University of Houston at Clear Lake, Clear Lake, U.S.A.

The purpose of this study is to examine the similarities and differences in family characteristics of Asian-American and Anglo-American high achievers. Sixty matched parents were interviewed concerning four areas. The findings suggest that the family life of Anglo-American students tends to be less structured and provide less formal educational ex perience for children after school and on weekends. Similarities between these two groups include high parental expectation, concerned parents, stable family environment and close- knit family relationships.
