本研究旨在瞭解新住民家庭青少年台灣族群認同、母親原生國族群認同與自尊在不同人口背景變項上的差異，並探討三者間的關係。 本研究採取問卷調查法，以新北市板橋區、新莊區、三重區為範圍，共抽取八所公立國中之全數新住民家庭青少年為研究對象，最後獲得496名有效樣本。研究者以「台灣族群認同量表」、「母親原生國族群認同量表」、「自尊量表」等為研究工具，經資料分析後本研究之結果如下： 一、新住民家庭青少年對於台灣的族群認同與母親原生國的族群認同感，以及在自尊的表現上皆達到中上程度。 二、新住民家庭青少年對台灣的族群認同顯著高於對母親原生國家的族群認同。 三、新住民家庭青少年的台灣族群認同與人口變項有密切關係： （一）「是否與母親同住」會影響整體的台灣族群認同感、台灣族群歸屬感與台灣族群態度。未與母親同住者的整體台灣族群認同感、台灣族群歸屬感與台灣族群態度顯著高於有與母親同住者。 （二）「母親教育程度」、「父母親總收入」會影響台灣族群知覺。母親教育程度高中以上者的台灣族群知覺程度顯著高於母親教育程度國中以下者；父母親總收入高於四萬元者，其台灣族群知覺程度顯著高於父母親總收入四萬元以下者。 （三）「父親教育程度」會影響台灣族群歸屬感。父親教育程度高中以上者對台灣的族群歸屬感顯著高於父親教育程度國中以下者。 四、新住民家庭青少年的母親原生國族群認同與人口變項有密切關係： （一）「年級」會影響整體母親原生國族群認同、族群歸屬感、族群態度與族群投入。就讀於七年級與八年級者在整體母親原生國族群認同、族群歸屬感、族群態度與族群投入的程度皆顯著高於就讀九年級者。 （二）「是否與母親同住」會影響整體母親原生國族群認同、族群知覺、族群態度以及族群投入。有與母親同住者，其整體母親原生國族群認同、族群知覺、族群態度以及族群投入的程度皆顯著高於未與母親同住者。 （三）「父、母親教育程度」皆會影響對母親原生國的族群知覺。父、母親教育程度為高中以上者，其母親原生國族群知覺的表現顯著高於教育程度國中以下者。 （四）「自覺家庭經濟條件」會影響母親原生國的族群投入。自認為家中經濟條件與其他家庭差不多者在母親原生國的族群投入上顯著高於自覺家中經濟低於其他家庭者。 五、新住民家庭青少年的自尊與人口變項有密切關係：「是否與母親同住」、「父母親總收入」，以及「自覺家庭經濟條件」會影響自尊。有與母親同住者、父母親總收入高於四萬元者、自覺家庭經濟優於其他家庭以及自覺與其他家庭差不多者，其自尊會比未與母親同住、父母親總收入四萬元以下者、自覺家中經濟劣於其他家庭的新住民家庭青少年顯著更高。 六、新住民家庭青少年之「台灣族群認同」、「母親原生國族群認同」、以及「台灣與母親原生國族群認同間的落差」皆與自尊達到顯著相關。 七、新住民家庭青少年「自覺家庭經濟條件」、「台灣族群認同」、「母親原生國族群認同」對自尊具有解釋力。 　　最後，根據本研究之研究結果，提出對教育策略、政策規劃、實務工作者以及未來相關研究之具體建議。 / The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships among ethnic identity and self-esteem of the adolescents from new immigrant families in Taiwan. Three questionnaires -“Ethnic Identity toward Taiwan Scale”, “Ethnic Identity toward Nation of Immigrant Mother Scale”, and “Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale”- were applied for data collection. There were 496 subjects selected from 8 junior high school in Banqiao, Xinzhuang, Sanchong District in New Taipei City. The findings of this study were as follow: 1. For the adolescents from new immigrant families, the ethnic identity toward Taiwan and their immigrant mother’s nation and the self-esteem were all above the average. 2. For the adolescents from new immigrant families, the ethnic identity toward Taiwan were higher than ethnic identity toward their immigrant mother’s nation. 3. There were significant relationship between ethnic identity toward Taiwan and demographic variables in the adolescents from new immigrant families as follow: (1) “Residence with immigrant mother” had significant relationship with the ethnic identity toward Taiwan, ethnic sense of belonging toward Taiwan, and ethnic attitude toward Taiwan. (2) “Educational level of immigrant mother” and “Total income of parents” had significant relationship with the ethnic awareness of Taiwan. (3) “Educational level of father” had significant relationship with the ethnic sense of belonging toward Taiwan. 4. There were significant relationship between ethnic identity toward nation of immigrant mother and demographic variables in the adolescents from new immigrant families as follow: (1) “Grade of adolescents” had significant relationship with the ethnic identity toward nation of immigrant mother, ethnic sense of belonging toward nation of immigrant mother, ethnic attitude toward nation of immigrant mother, and ethnic involvement of nation of immigrant mother. (2) “Residence with immigrant mother” had significant relationship with the ethnic identity toward nation of immigrant mother, ethnic awareness of nation of immigrant mother, ethnic attitude toward nation of immigrant mother, and ethnic involvement of nation of immigrant mother. (3) “Educational level of father and immigrant mother” had significant relationship with the ethnic awareness of nation of immigrant mother. (4) “Economical condition of family” had significant relationship with the ethnic involvement of nation of immigrant mother. 5. There were significant relationship between self-esteem and demographic variables in the adolescents from new immigrant families. “Residence with immigrant mother”, “Total income of parents”, and “Economical condition of family” had significant relationship with their self-esteem. 6. There were significant correlation between “ethnic identity toward Taiwan”, “ethnic identity toward nation of immigrant mother”, and “difference of ethnic identity toward Taiwan and nation of immigrant mother” and their self-esteem. 7. “Economical condition of family”, “ethnic identity toward Taiwan”, and “ethnic identity toward nation of immigrant mother” were elements significantly affected self-esteem. According to above findings, I offered some suggestions to education, policy, and social work administration and other researchers in the nearly future.

This study focuses on investigating the dynamics of language brokering as Korean immigrant families experience environmental challenges associated with immigration. This study was conducted with qualitative research design with purposive sampling of Korean immigrant families. Six parent-child dyads were recruited and participating children were between 12 to 16 years old. Semi-structured interviews were conducted separately with parents and children in either English or Korean. Thematic analysis was employed for analyzing the transcribed interviews. The Dedoose software program was applied to assist the coding process. 12 subthemes were revealed under four main themes, which were aligned to the study's research questions. The twelve subthemes included parents' dependence on children, vulnerability and resilience of Korean immigrant families, children's socioemotional development through language brokering, and the role of first-born daughter in the family. Parent and child responses indicated how language brokering affects can be a risk in relation to children's development (i.e., with responsibility of language brokering leading the child to experience stress or experience the responsibility of translation as a burden. Positively, respondents indicated that the parent and child experienced a greater sense of empathy for each other's roles. The results derived from this study were aligned with the results of previous research conducted in the field in that language brokering affects parent-child relationship and the socioemotional development of children. The study adds to the literature with the interviewing both parents and children, thereby hearing both perspectives and experiences of parents and children on language brokering and parent-child relationships could be obtained. This study targeted Korean immigrant families since there is a lack in literature that have studied this population in relation to language brokering.

Introduktion: Föräldrar spelar en viktig roll när det handlar om utvecklingen av barns fysiska och psykiska hälsa, deras sociala kompetens, hur de klarar sin skolgång och vilka levnadsvanor de själva får i vuxenlivet. För att stötta föräldrar i att bli trygga i sitt föräldraskap så erbjuds föräldrastöd. Studier visar att asylsökande och nyanlända föräldrar i Sverige deltar i mycket lägre grad än vad svenskfödda föräldrar gör. Många rapporterar psykisk ohälsa och upplever svårigheter i sitt föräldraskap efter ankomsten till Sverige. Det finns en ideell förening som lyckats inkludera denna målgrupp och det är därför av intresse att undersöka hur de upplever det arbetet.  Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka kursledares erfarenheter av att arbeta med föräldrastöd till nyanlända och asylsökande föräldrar. Metod: I studien genomfördes individuella intervjuer med sex ledare från en ideell förening i Västra Mellansverige. Resultat: Resultatet visar att föreningen har anpassat verksamheten på en kulturell nivå för att kunna inkludera denna målgrupp. Många av ledarna har exempelvis liknande bakgrund som föräldrarna och kurserna erbjuds på föräldrarnas modersmål. Ledarna har vidare kunnat identifiera vissa behov och utmaningar som nyanlända och asylsökande uttryckt. Det handlar framför allt om hur det upplevs att komma till Sverige som förälder och hur man kan hantera föräldrarollen i det nya landet. Bland annat uttrycks ett behov att få veta mer om normer kring föräldraskap och barnuppfostran i Sverige eftersom det skiljer sig från hur det sett ut i deras hemländer. Slutsats: Föräldrastöd kan vara betydelsefullt för målgruppen nyanlända och asylsökande föräldrar. Genom att de får prata sitt eget modersmål kan de uttrycka sig på ett annorlunda sätt än vad de hade kunnat göra i en svensk kurs. Det är en trygghet för föräldrarna att möta en ledare som har förståelse för deras kulturella bakgrund och det gör det möjligt att diskutera känsliga frågor som exempelvis barnuppfostran och antiagalagen. Ledarna upplever att många föräldrar blivit tryggare i sitt föräldraskap och tänker att föräldrarna kan vara en enorm resurs för det framtida svenska samhället om de bara får rätt förutsättningar. / Introduction: Parents play an important role when it comes to the development of children's physical and mental health, their social skills, how they manage school and what living conditions they get as adults. To support parents in their parenting, parental support is offered. Studies show that asylum seeking and newly arrived parents in Sweden participate to a much lesser extent than Swedish-born parents do. Many people report mental illness and experience difficulties in their parenting after arriving in Sweden. There is a non-profit association that has managed to include this target group and it is therefore of interest to investigate how they experience this work. Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the course leader's experience of working with parental support for newly arrived and asylum seeking parents. Method: Six individual interviews were conducted with leaders from a non-profit association located in the middle west of Sweden. Result: The result shows that the association has adapted the support on a cultural level to be able to include this target group. For example, many of the leaders have similar backgrounds to the parents and the courses are offered in the parents' native language. The leaders have also been able to identify certain needs and challenges expressed by newly arrived and asylum seekers. It is primarily about how it feels to come to Sweden as a parent and how to handle the parent role in a new country. More information is required about norms regarding parenting in Sweden as it differs from their home countries. Conclusion: Parental support can be important for newly arrived and asylum seeking parents in Sweden. By being able to speak their native language, they can express themselves in a different way than they could in a Swedish course. It feels safe for parents to meet a leader who understands their cultural background. It makes it possible to discuss sensitive issues such as parenting and the law of corporal punishment. The leaders mean that many parents have become more secure in their parenting and think that parents can be a huge resource for the future Swedish society if they only get the right conditions.
