“…It would also be interesting to examine if cultural norm endorsement moderates the relationships between coping variables and guilt. Even though most of the gender-role norms are generally comparable across Chinese and Western cultures (e.g., Courtenay, 2000;Louie, 2002;Yeung et al, 2015), research suggests that the manifestations of male gender-role norms may still vary in cultures and among people with different cultural orientations (Levant & Pollack, 1995;Rubio & Green, 2011;van de Vijver, 2007). Future studies can attempt to explore how endorsements (e.g., collectivism, interdependence) may play a role in men's coping and wellbeing during their journey of cancer caregiving.…”

Caregiver guilt (i.e., feeling of inadequacy in providing care to patients) is commonly experienced and studied among husbands of breast cancer survivors in Western countries. However, little is known about the psychosocial correlates of caregiver guilt in their Chinese counterparts. A total of 176 husbands of Chinese breast cancer survivors completed a cross-sectional survey in Weifang, Shandong province, China. As expected, hierarchical regression results showed that higher caregiving burden was associated with higher levels of caregiver guilt. However, for those who had stronger endorsement of the "Masculinity strength" gender-role norm, higher seeking social support from spouse was associated with higher guilt; for those with higher levels of marital satisfaction, higher protective buffering (i.e., hiding of concerns and negative emotions to protect others) was associated with lower caregiver guilt. Western assumptions on the harm of protective buffering and the benefits of support seeking as well as related supportive evidence among Western populations do not directly apply to the Chinese culture, which should be brought awareness to research and practice. Practitioners should consider the cultural background of the caregivers and should not simply encourage support seeking and discourage protective buffering.

“…There is of course not one type of hegemonic masculinity in the Philippines (see also Aguiling‐Dalisay et al., 1995; Angeles, 2001; De Castro, 1995; Rubio & Green, 2011). In recent years, with the coming into power of Rodrigo Duterte, there arises what De Chavez and Pacheco call regional hegemonic masculinity which is “violent, combative, misogynistic, and undiplomatic” (De Chavez & Pacheco, 2020, p. 261).…”

“…Exposure to household and neighborhood risks may increase the demands associated with parenting, thereby hindering fathers' capacity to engage in optimal parenting practices (Kahn et al, 2016). Given that Filipino fathers are expected to be the family's provider and protector (Alampay, 2014;Rubio & Green, 2011;Tan, 1994), those who report higher deficiencies in basic needs may experience greater stress and have more concerns about meeting basic needs, and these worries may contribute to less frequent expressions of warmth toward their children.

“…As primary providers, urban poor Filipino fathers face challenges in securing basic needs such as housing, access to water and electricity, and adequate nutrition (Racelis & Aguirre, 2002; United Nations Children’s Fund, 2010). Given their role as protectors of the family (Alampay, 2014; Rubio & Green, 2011; Tan, 1994), Filipino fathers with adolescent children also contend with navigating neighborhood problems and dangers to ensure that their children avoid involvement in crime, drugs, and delinquent behaviors. To account for these risk conditions salient among Filipino fathers, this study focused on two factors: poor living conditions, a composite index that assessed housing status, access to water and electricity, and food insecurity; and neighborhood disorder , indicated by poor physical and social neighborhood conditions.…”

“…Similar to fathers in other cultures, Filipino fathers play an important role in adolescents’ social development (Harper, 2010; Hindin, 2005). In Filipino culture, fathers are also expected to serve as the primary provider and protector of the family (Alampay, 2014; Rubio & Green, 2011; Tan, 1994). Given these gender roles and expectations, it is especially important to investigate Filipino fathers’ parenting in contexts where their ability to fulfill these primary roles may be challenged.…”

Objective: Familism, a cultural value that emphasizes strong family connectedness, has been associated with warm parenting behaviors among fathers and may moderate the effects of stress on parenting. However, few studies have examined familism as a protective factor against household and neighborhood risks. This study examined (a) the relations of poor living conditions and neighborhood disorder to paternal warmth and rejection and (b) familism as a moderator of relations between poor living conditions, neighborhood disorder, and paternal warmth and rejection. Method: Low-income urban Filipino fathers (N ϭ 84, M age ϭ 44.85, SD ϭ 8.89) completed orally administered questionnaires. Hierarchical regression analyses were used to examine associations between poor living conditions, neighborhood disorder, familism, warmth, and rejection. Results: Poor living conditions, measured as a composite risk index of housing status, water supply, access to electricity, and food insecurity, were significantly associated with lower levels of warmth. Neighborhood disorder was also significantly associated with greater rejection. Familism was significantly associated with greater warmth, indicating its promotive role in fathers' parenting. Moderation analyses indicate that higher familism was associated with less rejection only at lower levels of risk in living conditions. At higher levels of risk, the association of familism with rejection was nonsignificant. Conclusions: The protective function of familism in parenting may have limits at high levels of risk. Interventions for low-income Filipino fathers may need to address reduction of household and neighborhood stressors along with strengthening family-level protective factors. Public Significance StatementThis study suggests that Filipino fathers who have strong family-oriented values show more warmth and less rejection toward their adolescent children. However, under conditions of high risk in household living conditions, the helpful role of familism in reducing fathers' rejecting behaviors may be diminished.
