Popis:	The study reported a phenomenological analysis of interviews with 17 Korean-born mothers raising adolescents in the United States. The two research questions were: What does academic success mean to Korean-American mothers? What do they experience in facilitating the academic success of their adolescents? Results indicated that academic success meant admission to an Ivy League University by studying well and getting straight A grades. Mothers' experiences were portrayed from three perspectives: mothers as family members trying to realize academic success and experiencing tensions; mothers as individuals adjusting by trying to find new goals and standards; and mothers as members of a Korean-American social system. The mothers unknowingly provided a cross-national perspective of family resource management in everyday feelings, thoughts, and actions.
