| Popis: | 94 The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between filial obligation and anxiety of adult children. It also attempts to explore the effects of parent-child relationship and parental need on filial anxiety as well as on the relationship between filial obligation and anxiety. The subjects of the research are married children living in Taipei and Taoyuan city, aged thirty to forty, with at least one parent still alive. Four hundred valid subjects are recruited in this study. The results of this study indicate the following: 1.Women have stronger filial anxiety over their aging parent’s well-being than men. Adult children living with parent have stronger sense of filial obligation than those who do not live with parent. Adult children have more anxiety over their own ability to perform their filial obligation if their parents lack financial resources. The number of siblings as well as parent’s health status has no significant effect on adult children’s filial obligation and anxiety. 2.For adult children, the stronger their sense of filial obligation is, the less anxiety over their abilities to perform their obligation will be. But they have more anxiety over their aging parent’s well-being. 3.Adult children’s anxiety over their aging parent’s well-being goes together with the satisfaction of parent-child relationship, but anxiety over their ability to perform filial obligation decreases when the parent-child relationship is satisfactory. When adult children’s sense of filial obligation is strong, the satisfaction of parent-child relationship decreases the anxiety over their ability to perform filial obligation. 4.The degree of parental need goes together with adult children’s filial anxiety .On the other hand, the parental need has no effect on the children’s sense of filial anxiety resulted from their sense of filial obligation. |
