Abstract : Demographers have long discussed the concept of acculturation to examine how new immigrants blend themselves into the destination country. It is argued that the higher level of acculturation may lead to lower level of emotional strain and more likely to identify themselves with the mainstream culture. The objective of our study is to examine if these foreign-born mothers’ level of acculturation would affect their fertility, parenting styles, and parent-child relations. The current study adopted two survey data collected in Southern Taiwan from immigrant mothers and their children to examine the patterns of fertility and children’s correlations of emotional strain and deviance/delinquency. Index Terms: acculturation, strain, parenting, parent-child, delinquency, teenagers, and social support
