Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the conflict between a Korean mother-in-low and a Vietnamese daughter- in-low in a multicultural family. I described the daily living experience of the conflict in detail following main deteriorating causes of the conflict: the difficulty of communication, cultural difference, and the difference of mutual expectation. From analyzing the case, the conflict based on the difference of mutual expectation and on the difference of value and character are the major sources of the conflict. These conflict patterns are very similar to Korean cases, but the conflict based on affectional competition was not important. The major findings of this case study would be that emotional acts, shouting, and avoidance were very often used in daily interactions from the conflicts.
