Exploring the Levels of Readiness in Assuming Filial Responsibility among Filipino Adults
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 08
Abstract
Introduction: The study examines the readiness of Filipino adults to fulfill their filial duties within the cultural context of the Philippines, where filial piety is regarded as crucial for upholding the family's collective reputation and mitigating potential social stigma. Methods: The researchers utilized a quantitative research methodology with a descriptive and normative approach. They collected data via an online survey administered to 403 participants. The respondents' preparedness to fulfill filial obligations was assessed using a standardized scale measuring readiness for filial responsibility. Results: The results suggest that most Filipino adults are not fully prepared to meet their filial obligations towards their aging parents. While they exhibit moderate level of readiness to provide physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological support, the data indicates they are ill-equipped to assume the financial responsibilities associated with caring for their aging parents. The study also found that the adult child's physical distance from the aging parent significantly affects their capacity to provide physical support, with those living away from their parents exhibiting greater readiness to offer financial assistance compared to those who are co-residing with their parents. Additionally, individuals with independent sources of income demonstrated higher levels of preparedness to fulfill the financial responsibilities associated with their filial obligations. Conclusion: The intricate and multifaceted nature of the obligations which adult children have towards their aging parents underscores the need for a customized and personalized approach in supporting the older persons, rather than a universal expectation.
