This paper examined intergenerational relations andcohesiveness in the Korean-American family, based ona concept of family solidarity. The data were drawnfrom face-to-face interviews for 50 older Koreanimmigrants, telephone interviews for 40 Korean adultchildren in the Philadelphia area. MostKorean-American elderly were found to live in proximity to a son. There were a high degree ofinteraction in visiting and telephoning betweengenerations, but less frequency in shared leisureactivities and particularly in communication. Financial aid largely flowed from adult children toaged parents, but service assistances were balancedbetween generations. It is noteworthy that agedparents had lower level of exchanges with theirmarried daughters than their married sons. Resultsalso indicated that Korean-Americans had a consensusabout an ideal of dependency in old age. In general,Korean-Americans seemed to have less intergenerationalconflicts because of the modest expectations of filialobligation among the older Koreans. The findings didnot suggest any evidence of deterioration in cohesionof the Korean-American family, but illustrated asignificant ethnic characteristic in intergenerationalrelationships.
