“…Similarly, Relationship, but not Obedience/Obligation, was uniquely and more consistently associated with better parent–child relationships across three cultural groups. In line with previous findings (Lim et al, 2022), our findings suggest that children's natural feelings of gratitude and affection, rather than role requirements based on family hierarchy, may be a culturally shared process that links filial behaviour with positive parent–child relationships. According to the social exchange theory (Emerson, 1976), social relationships are guided by the norm of reciprocity.…”

“…The endorsement of filial piety is positively predicted by collectivistic values (Lim et al, 2022). To evaluate the FBS across diverse cultural contexts that differ in filial behaviours, we selected three countries located at different points along the continuum of individualism-collectivism: Malaysia, Italy and the United States.…”

“…Filial piety is a Confucian concept that emphasises children's responsibility to love, respect and support their parents (Yeh & Bedford, 2003). Although rooted in Confucian philosophy, components of filial piety are shared by various cultural groups, such as Malaysian (Tan et al, 2021), South Korean (Sung, 1995), Vietnamese (Ha et al, 2020), United States (Lim et al, 2022), Polish (Różycka‐Tran et al, 2021) and Spanish (Kao & Travis, 2005) cultures. Most existing measures of filial piety focus on attitudes and beliefs, whereas the behavioural aspects are largely neglected or conflated with other components.…”

“…The present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the FBS among three ethnic‐dominant groups in their respective countries: White Americans, White Italians and Malay Malaysians. The three groups share certain components of filial values (Inguglia et al, 2016; Lim et al, 2022; Nainee et al, 2016) but vary in other important values such as individualism/independence and collectivism/interdependence (Hofstede, 2022) and thus were suitable for the cross‐cultural validation of the FBS. We focused on emerging adult (i.e., 18–25 years old) samples in this study, as individuals tend to feel a strong sense of family obligation when moving from adolescence to emerging adulthood (Fuligni & Pedersen, 2002).…”

“…For example, filial piety, communalism and familism comprised a latent construct of family/relationship primacy across White, Black, Hispanic and Asian Americans (Schwartz et al, 2010). Moreover, filial piety beliefs positively predicted White American adults' attitudes towards caring for elderly parents (Lim et al, 2022). In sum, the variations in collectivist versus individualistic values among Malaysian, Italian and U.S. cultures warrant an investigation of the concept of filial piety in all three groups.…”

Filial piety is a Confucian concept that guides how children treat and take care of their parents. The Filial Behaviour Scale (FBS) is a 25‐item instrument developed in the Chinese context measuring behavioural manifestations of filial piety. Although the components of filial piety have been found to be relevant across cultures, little research has investigated the psychometric properties of the FBS in other cultural contexts. The present study evaluated the factor structure, internal consistency, measurement invariance and construct validity of the FBS across three cultural groups: the United States, Italy and Malaysia. Participants were 1090 emerging adults (67% females; Mage = 21.29 years, SD = 1.97; White Americans: n = 455, White Italians: n = 428, Malays: n = 328). A two‐factor structure emerged across groups: Obedience/Obligation (behaviours showing obedience and obligation towards parents) and Relationship (behaviours expressing affection and promoting positive parent–child relationships). The two factors demonstrated adequate internal consistency, full configural, partial metric and partial scalar invariance, as well as unique associations with depressive symptoms and parent–child relationships across groups. These findings yielded a more nuanced understanding of filial behaviour and supported the utility of a two‐factor FBS among emerging adults in various cultural contexts.

Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) among older Asian American immigrants (AA) is a growing concern. Asian Americans represent 9% of diagnosed diabetes. Very little is known on how older Asian American immigrants with T2D navigate diabetes management, in particular the role of family support. This qualitative study examines Chinese and Filipino Americans, the two largest Asian subgroups in the US (4.2 million, and 3.6 million, respectively), and family support dynamics among adult children and their parents diagnosed with T2D. Ten dyads (n = 20) made up of adult children and aging parents participated in in-depth and dyadic interviews. Results indicate that family support occurs in a trajectory of stages. The following thematic patterns emerged in these dyads around support: independence, transitions, partnership, and stepping in. The findings point to various supportive stages that Asian American adult children and aging parents with T2D experience and the importance of developing supportive interventions for both adult children and aging parents at these various stages.

Objective Despite being the fastest growing minority group in the USA, Asian Americans are among the least studied ones, particularly in the home and community-based services settings. This study aimed to review and synthesize extant evidence on Asian American’s access, utilization, and outcomes of home health care. Methods This is a systematic review study. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed and CINAHL as well as hand search. Each study was screened, reviewed, and evaluated for quality by at least two reviewers independently. Results Twelve articles were determined eligible and included for review. Asian Americans were less likely to be discharged to home health care following hospitalization. At admission to home health care, Asian Americans had a high rate of inappropriate medication issues (28%) and they also had poorer functional status compared to White Americans. Asian Americans were also reported with less improvement in functional status at the end of home health care; however, there were some inconsistencies in the evidence on Asian Americans’ utilization of formal/skilled home health care. Quality evaluation indicated that findings from some studies were limited by small sample size, single site/home health agency, analytic approaches, and other methodologic limitations. Conclusions Asian Americans often experience inequities in home health care access, utilization, and outcomes. Multilevel factors may contribute to such inequities, including structural racism. Robust research using population-based data and advanced methodology is needed to better understand home health care to Asian Americans.
