  According to Vivian Tseng, author of the survey and a program officer at the William T. Grant Foundation in New York City, one in five children in the U.S. has an immigrant parent.Tseng surveyed almost 800 college students between the ages of 18 and 25 about their aspirations for the future.She also collected data on their majors from the large, urban university they attended.She defined students from immigrant families and children of immigrants as those with at least one immigrant parent.She compared those children to students born in the U.S. who also had two parents born in the US.
  
  According to Tseng, one reason these children of immigrants are more likely to pursue math and science than their peers whose families have been in the U.S. for generations is that the students she surveyed had higher economic aspirations and were aiming for better paying occupations than their later-generation peers."These findings complement previous studies by other researchers," she said."In interviews, immigrant parents, especially those working in low-wage, low-status jobs, channel their greatest hopes for upward mobility in this new country to their children.They tell their children that they must do well in school so they can have better lives and more satisfying, better paying, and higher status jobs than their parents."
  
  Tseng's study suggests that children of immigrants fare well in ways that are important for the U.S. economy."At a time when the U.S. economy is facing demands for highly educated workers in technology and science," said Tseng, "children of immigrants may well contribute to our nation's changing workforce needs."

  Call for war results in handful of mixed emotions - [Cached Version]

  This nationwide flood of patriotism and readiness to fight can be partially attributed to the government and media manipulating the public's emotions to get the country ready for war after the events of Sept. 11, said Vivian Tseng, psychology professor.
  
  "Instead of mourning and sadness, it was more about fanning the flames of anger," Tseng said."Bush's comments and the image of some Palestinians cheering in the streets were used to emotionally gear us toward war, as fear was very quickly changed to anger."
  
  Much of the media coverage is one-sided as well, according to Tseng.
  
  People's emotions are being shaped as media coverage is focused on death and casualties, while no coverage is given to the alternatives to war.For example, Palestinians giving blood for the Red Cross, the real causes of terrorism, and the psychological cost to Arab-Americans and Muslims, Tseng said.

  The study by Vivian Tseng, a program officer with New York's William Grant Foundation, found children of immigrants are more likely to pursue math and science in college than are students from the same ethnic groups whose families have been in the United States for generations.
  
  Additionally, the study found the pursuit of math and science is not isolated to one immigrant group, but exists for children of Latino, Afro-Caribbean and European immigrants.
  
  "For child development researchers, this growth in immigration raises important questions about how children of immigrants are faring in school and work and how the challenges and opportunities of immigration influence how they fare," she said.
  
  Tseng surveyed nearly 800 college students between the ages of 18 and 25 about their aspirations.She also collected data on their majors from the large, urban university they attended.
  
  Students from immigrant families and children of immigrants were defined as those with at least one immigrant parent.
