This article examines the ancestral and acculturatred cultural meanings in immigrant Indian parenting and adolescent identity using the independence - interdependence dimension as the focus. Forty Indian parents and their adolescents in Delhi, India and Geneva, Switzerland, were interviewed using open ended questions and scenarios. Adolescents also completed a contextual version of the Twenty Statements Test. Results showed beliefs and practices to be similar for the two groups of parents except that immigrant parents in Geneva placed freater emphasis in traditional Indian culture at home. Self other constructions of identity measures showed Geneva adolescents to have fewer attributes of interdependence compared to their counterparts in Delhi. Case study analysis further demonstarted how immigrant adolescent construct their self other relations to synthesize the ancestral and acculturated values of their parents and the host society.
