520 $a Many studies have sought to uncover the reasons behind the high academic achievements of Chinese migrants compared with migrants of other ethnic backgrounds. Most have highlighted cultural and socioeconomic factors, citing these as the principal reasons.
520 $a The picture is complicated by other factors, however, including, importantly, the impact of the immigration process itself. If this factor can be isolated and found to be associated with higher motivation among immigrant students, this may help to resolve many of the unanswered questions about motivation among immigrants. Post-colonial Hong Kong provides the ideal setting for such an attempt, because there are minimal differences of ethnicity, culture, dialect, or socioeconomic background between newly arrived immigrants from the Chinese Mainland and the majority of working-class Hong Kong locals. Both groups have similar beliefs about schooling, and both are residentially and educationally integrated. Additionally, these new arrivals mostly come to Hong Kong to be reunited with their families, eliminating the self-selection factor that exists among immigrants with stronger economic motivation.
520 $a In this thesis, I propose that immigration experiences interact with psychosocial processes to spur immigrant children to achieve. My research questions are: (1) What role does immigration play in the academic motivation of new arrivals in Hong Kong? (2) Do interpretations mediate between maternal expectations/strategies and children's academic engagement/motivations? If so, how? (3) How is the mediation process for new arrivals different from that for locals in Hong Kong?
520 $a A multidisciplinary approach is used to address the research questions, involving ethnographic study, in-depth interview and survey. The results from all three parts of the study consistently show that immigrant children are more motivated, and that their higher motivation is associated with positive interpretations of their mothers' expectations and strategies. Immigrant children's interpretations are found to be related to their migration experience, which heightens their sense of crisis, and helps them to develop higher perspective-taking competence, and the ability to compare, contrast and integrate contextual and personal needs in achieving their academic tasks and goals.
