Asian, Hispanic, and Latino Americans present different cultural values relative to their worldviews. For example, Asian Americans emphasize the authoritative parental relationships by displaying honor and respect, and avoiding any shame to the family. Furthermore, Asian Americans are often misunderstood because they appear emotionally distant, when in reality this is a cultural norm. Additionally, education and professional success are highly valued. This group also emphasizes a holistic approach to wellness.
Hispanic Americans and Latino Americans, similar to Asian Americans, emphasize traditional family values. Going outside of the family or extended family for support is highly discouraged. Sex roles and appropriate gender behaviors are highly emphasized, and deviating from these expectations often leads to interpersonal and intrapersonal conflict.
