Given that family conflict is of clinical concern for many other Asian American populations (e.g., Abe-Kim, Takeuchi & Hwang, 2002; Lee, Jung, Su, Tran & Bahrassa, 2009), I examine the broad shared and ethnic-specific factors of parent-child disagreement and its role in wellbeing for South Asian American young adults (n = 150), compared with Chinese American young adults (n = 150). Based on the shared cultural emphasis on collectivism, it was hypothesized that family interdependence would moderate the prediction of wellbeing by general family disharmony in both groups, and that complying and accommodating responses to a recent disagreement would be associated with more intense interdependent emotions. There was evidence that interdependence did play an important role in general wellbeing scores and in emotion intensity during a recent conflict, although differently for each ethnic group.
