Systematic Review of the Impact of Chinese American Parents’ Acculturation on their Children’s Career Development

This study performed a systematic review to examine the status of existing research on the acculturation of Chinese American parents and its impact on their children’s career choices. To maximize the review coverage, a Python-based automated method was utilized for article retrieval from several databases. Keywords aligned with the research topic were used to screen initial search results in several iterative steps, resulting in 18 articles for the final analysis. The results of the systematic review highlighted the gap in empirical studies on the impact of parental acculturation on children's career choices and underscored the need for further research on intergenerational acculturation and its effects on the career development of Chinese Americans.
