以往的研究集中在亚裔美国人的代际关系使用的文化概念的孝顺义务来解释一个成年子女的承诺，他/她的年迈的父母。本研究以628名华裔、日裔和韩裔美国人及其老年父母为研究对象，发现成年子女的收入和父母的需要等经济结构因素对成年子女赡养父母的频率有显著影响。孝顺义务对成年子女赡养父母的影响取决于其中几个经济和结构因素。然而，在三个亚裔美国人群体中，这些关系的程度各不相同。因此，有必要研究文化，经济和结构因素对亚裔美国人代际关系的相互作用，以及这些关系在亚裔美国人人口中的多样性。
Previous studies that have focused on Asian American intergenerational relationships used the cultural concept of filial obligation to explain an adult child's commitment to his/her elderly parents. Using data gathered from 628 Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Americans and their elderly parents, this study found that such financial and structural factors as an adult child's income and his/her parent's need for assistance significantly influenced the frequency of an adult child's support for his/her parents. The effects of filial obligation on an adult child's provision of support for his/her parents change depending on several of these financial and structural factors. The magnitude of these relationships varies, however, among three groups of Asian Americans. It is therefore necessary to examine interaction effects of cultural, financial, and structural factors on Asian American intergenerational relationships as well as the diversity of these relationships within the Asian American population.
