Popis:	This study replicated and extended prior research on filial anxiety by examining two generations of women in the same families. Eighty-five mothers and daughters completed several measures assessing filial anxiety, general anxiety, family relationships, self-efficacy in caregiving, filial responsibility, and perceived health. Results showed an exact replication of Cicirelli's (1988) two-factor solution of the Filial Anxiety Scale (FAS) for the middle-aged mothers, but a three-factor solution and some item overlap across factors for the undergraduate daughters. Mothers and daughters scored similarly on most of the other measures. Correlational results indicated that the different dimensions of the FAS relate differently with the other measures. Results are discussed in terms of the need for additional scale development with younger adults and in terms of the broader context of the correlational findings.
