Abstract

The present study was conducted to clarify the influence of family resources on viewpoints regarding the socialization of elderly care based on data from 636 Japanese students and 368 of their parents; 461 South Korean students and 460 of their parents; and 959 Chinese students and 707 of their parents. Specifically, a causal model was established describing the influence of family cohesion on viewpoints regarding the socialization of elderly care through a sense of filial responsibility. By classifying the subjects into six groups according to country (Japan, South Korea and China) and generation (students and their parents), the goodness of fit for this causal model to the data and relationships were examined using structural equation modeling. In China, family cohesion influenced the sense of filial responsibility, whereas the sense of filial responsibility did not influence viewpoints regarding the socialization of elderly care. In Japan and South Korea, family cohesion influenced viewpoints regarding the socialization of elderly care through attitudes toward emotional support. The influence of family resources on viewpoints regarding the socialization of elderly care became smaller as the socialization of elderly care developed.
