Abstract: This investigation examines the relationship between Chinese American adults and their parents. A group of 143 American- and foreign-born Chinese Americans residing in San Francisco participated in the study. Contact with parents was found to be very frequent (two to three times a week), and was primarily mediated by geographic proximity. Immigrant women maintained significantly more frequent contact with their parents than American-born women. Intimacy was primarily predicted by respondent's understanding of his/her mother. Implications of the findings are discussed.
