Fan and Karnilowicz (1997) found that among Chinese immigrant girls in Australia, definition of success in terms of self-actualization was positively related to length of residence in Australia and negatively related to degree of Chinese identification.
The results of the present study also indicate that Chinese girls are not a homogeneous group and within the immigrant Chinese community there are specific factors, such as length of residence in the host country and degree of Chinese identification, which are related to their mathematics achievement.
It is possible that Chinese girls who have been in Australia for a relatively long time endorse self-actualization more and this kind of achievement motivation is at least in part responsible for their achievement, in accordance with Maehr's (1984) model.

The Chinese-Australian Historical Images in Australia (CHIA) database is a catalogue of historical images of Chinese, Chinese immigrants and their descendants held in Australia.
