Abstract | The purpose of this study was to explore the ethnic differences in family dynamics and career interests of European Americans and Chinese Americans and how these dynamics--cohesion, expressiveness, and conflict--influence one's career interests. Significant ethnic differences in career interests were found. The Chinese Americans' highest career interest was enterprising, whereas the highest for European Americans was social. Ethnic differences in family dynamics were also found, though opposite from hypothesized; Chinese Americans reported more family conflict, less cohesion, and less expressiveness than the European Americans. As acculturation level increased, the amount of reported cohesion increased, revealing significant effects of acculturation on family cohesion. Suggested salient role of family was evident. New implications for career assessment and career counseling of Asian Americans, particularly Chinese Americans, limitations of current study, and future research directions are discussed.
