亚洲家庭被认为是一个紧密结合的社会单位，老年人被认为在其中占据着非常受人尊敬的地位。家庭成员被认为是出于孝道而感激地照顾年迈的父母。然而，这种对亚洲家庭的刻板印象可能并不完全适用于日本家庭。本文指出了日本老年人对家庭养老的误解和成见。本文描述了如何孝道的文化美德已被错误地确定为主要因素影响社会服务利用不足的日本家庭照顾者。作者通过描述sekentei的概念以及这一概念如何影响老年家庭成员的家庭养老和日本照顾者对社会服务的利用不足，为日本家庭养老提供了新的见解。
The Asian family is regarded as a close-knit social unit in which elderly people are believed to occupy a highly respected position. Family members are thought to provide care for elderly parents gratefully because of filial piety. This stereotypic portrayal of Asian families, however, may not apply fully to Japanese families. This article points out misunderstandings and stereotypic views of family caregiving of Japanese elderly people. The article describes how the cultural virtue of filial piety has been incorrectly identified as the major factor influencing underutilization of social services among Japanese family caregivers. The authors provide new insights into Japanese family caregiving by describing the concept of sekentei and how this concept may influence family caregiving of elderly family members and underutilization of social services among Japanese caregivers.
