The purpose of this study was to promote an understanding of social competence and cultural diversity in Chinese-American children as compared with Caucasian children. It was hypothesized that (1) Chinese-American children would exhibit more cooperation responses in peer conflict situations than Caucasian children; (2) Chinese-American parents would have different parenting attitudes than Caucasian parents; (3) in the acculturation process for Chinese-American parents, greater shifts in value orientation would lower the social competence and cooperative responses in their children; (4) the overall adaptation of Chinese-American and Caucasian children would be similar; (5) the quality of mothering would be the same for both groups of mothers; and (6) no difference in IQ would exist between the two groups of children. Twenty-nine Chinese-American and thirty-three Caucasian families were administered the Parental Attitude Scale (Cohler, Weiss, & Grunebaum, 1970) and the Acculturation Scale (Kluckholn & Strodtbeck, 1961; Papajohn, 1971). Children were administered the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (Dunn, 1965) and the Preschool Interpersonal Problem-solving Test (PIPS) (Shure & Spivack, 1974). Moreover, observations of overall adaptation of the child and quality of mothering were rated at the end of the visit. Interpersonal problem-solving was examined in this study as one important aspect of social competence. The results indicate cooperative behavior on the PIPS was preferred more often by Chinese-American children than Caucasian children. Chinese-American parents exhibited different attitudes in childrearing than Caucasian parents, expressing more control over the child's impulses, lower reciprocity, and less closeness. Value orientations of Chinese-American parents on the Acculturation Scale were remarkably similar to that of Caucasian parents. In addition, Chinese-American parents shifted in all four traditional world perspectives to different current perspectives, emphasizing collateral relationships, person's dominance over nature, the influence of environment on human nature, and a future orientation. No differences were shown between the two groups of children in overall adaptation. However, a significant difference did appear in IQ, with Chinese-American children scoring lower than Caucasian children. Finally, no difference in quality of mothering was apparent.
