“…Notably, the two FBS factors were significantly and positively correlated in all three groups and this correlation was particularly high in the Malaysian sample ( r = .84). This difference may be due to the strong emphasis on social harmony and the hierarchical family system in the Malay Muslim culture, where children are expected to depend on parents for guidance and obey parents' instructions, which serve as important ways to maintain positive parent–child relationships (Baharudin et al, 2021). Thus, behaviours showing respect and obedience and behaviours showing affection and intimacy towards parents tend to be more closely related among Malay emerging adults than the other two cultural groups.…”

“…Malaysia is a multi-racial culture comprised of Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous communities, with Malays being the largest ethnic group. Malaysia is a highly collectivist culture where harmonious social relationships and family interdependence are strongly valued (Baharudin et al, 2021). Despite undergoing Westernisation, filial piety remains a fundamental principle guiding Malaysian family socialisation (Nainee et al, 2016), where children are expected to respect, obey and support their parents.…”

“…Specifically, the Malay group perceived item 1, "When I make decisions, I consider their impact on my parents," as less relevant (i.e., lower loadings) to Obedience/Obligation than the U.S. group. The more critical role of family ties and mutual help between family members in the Malay culture (Baharudin et al, 2021) than in the U.S. culture may lead Malay emerging adults to be less likely to attribute such behaviour as a filial obligation, but more of a social norm. In contrast, the U.S. group perceived item 10, "I accompany my parents to do what they like," as less relevant to Relationship than the Malay group, which may reflect their strong value of independence and individuation in U.S. family relationships (Inguglia et al, 2016).…”

“…In addition, the relatively low reliability of the parent-child conflict subscales in this sample may have limited the power to detect significant associations. This result may also reflect the influences of other important values that encourage children to fulfil mutual obligations and maintain harmonious family relationships, such as the value of budi bahasa (courtesy/virtue) that guides Malays' social behaviour and the teachings of Islam as the dominant religion of Malay Malaysians that emphasise warm and close relationships with parents (Baharudin et al, 2021). Thus, filial piety may be only one of the various socio-cultural and religious norms and values in the Malay culture related to emerging adults' mental health and their parent-child relationships.…”

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.

The current study attempted to define and examine the concept of family in the Islamic context. Specifically, it addressed the issues and challenges related to parental communication in the modern day based on the strategies and suggestions proposed by ‘Abd al-Karīm Bakkār in his book Al-Tarbiyyah Al-Rashīdah (Successful Family Upbringing). This book is a guide to cultivating and nurturing a Muslim family in order to achieve the best outcomes through effective communication. The ultimate aim is to fortify the familial bonds. The current study used content analysis to examine and interpret the data extracted from the fourth volume of series entitled Al-Murāhiq (The Adolescents). This volume was the study’s main reference as it is set against the background of contemporary Muslim family issues along with suggested solutions by the author who identified certain strategies to enhance family ties and bonds. These strategies include kindness to relatives, effective interaction, listening, respecting, non-domination, and not pressurizing 5the children. Moreover, avoiding provocation of anger, paying attention to their problems as well as being polite to them are also among the strategies to enhance familial ties. The findings highlight the effectiveness of these strategies in bringing about positive parenting. Muslim parents therefore, can use ‘Abd al-Karīm Bakkār’s communication strategies to enhance their children’s moral, physical, mental, and spiritual development.
