This study explored the reason for the high academic achievements of Asian Americansby comparing the quality of experience of Asian and Caucasian American adolescents.The Experience Sampling Method was used to record subjective experiences. Subjectswere 34 Asian American and 392 Caucasian American adolescents in the 6th, 8th, 10thand 12th grades. When engaged in "work-like" activities and activities important fortheir future goals, Asian American students reported more positive experiences relative toCaucasian American adolescents. The examination of parental practices concerningchildren‟s academic activities indicated that Asian American parents structured theirchildren's lives to facilitate academic success, and at the same time, they provided theirchildren with freedom (or support their children‟s autonomy) in actual academic activities.The internalization of cultural values was suggested as a possible factor for promoting theeducational success of Asian Americans.
