Employing the Dual Filial Piety Model (DFPM), this study aimed to examine the relationship between filial piety and attitude toward caring for elderly parents beyond the Asian context. In our study (N = 276), we found that reciprocal filial piety (RFP) does not differ across cultures while authoritarian filial piety (AFP) does. We also found that collectivism, rather than ethnicity, predicted RFP and AFP, which in turn predicted positive attitude toward caring for elderly parents. Our work demonstrates the cross-cultural applicability of the DFPM and highlights the universal and culture-specific aspects of filial piety. 2022-02-01T08:00:00Z text application/pdf https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/soss_research/3536 info:doi/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.786609 https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/context/soss_research/article/4794/viewcontent/fpsyg_12_786609_pvoa.pdf http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Research Collection School of Social Sciences eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University filial piety DFPM Asian American Caucasian American Collectivism Applied Behavior Analysis Family, Life Course, and Society Social Psychology
