dc.description.abstractThe study was designed to examine the influence of parental values on the value systems of youth from ethnic majority and minority groups in Vietnam with ethnic identity and friendship characteristics as mediators and age, ethnicity and gender as moderators. A total of 786 high school and college students in Dak Lak, Vietnam participated in this study. They responded to a questionnaire with six sections containing items from Rokeach‟s Value Survey, Parental Values Scale, Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure, McGill Friendship Questionnaires and Friendship Quantity Self-Report. These measures were used to determine value systems, parental values, ethnic identity, friendship quality, and friendship quantity of the youth. The data was analyzed using SmartPLS software (version 2.0). The results showed that the research models satisfied the reliability and validity requirements. Furthermore, all of the paths in the research models were found to be significant and in the direction proposed by this study, supporting nine out of ten hypothesized relationships. Value systems were positively influenced by parental values. Ethnic identity and friendship characteristics were significant mediators and age and gender were significant moderators for the influence of parental values on the value systems of youth from ethnic majority and minority groups. In contrast, ethnicity did not have any significant moderating effect on that relation. This study has significant theoretical and practical implications. The present study provides two new research models for studying the value systems of youth from ethnic majority and minority groups. The findings also have important implications for parents and educators.en_US
