Three factors were extracted from the Vietnamese Parental Attitude Scale: cultural values, parental expectations and communications. Thirty Vietnamese-American parents showed high expectations for school performance, gender equity, respect for teachers, a successful marriage and parental love, but relatively low expectations for Vietnamese language conformity and absolute obedience.
