在虐待老人的背景下，很少注意到种族和文化因素作为独立或因果变量。本文以日本为例，探讨可能与家庭冲突和虐待老人有关的文化因素，包括使用沉默作为一种极端的惩罚形式。还探讨了依赖（amae）、抑制（enryo）和妨碍（jama）之间的相互关系；社会义务（giri）、个人债务（on）和自然情感或欲望（ninjo）；和孝顺和抛弃长辈（愚笨）。目前使用的研究和检测协议将无法识别日本老年人的虐待，除非对其进行修改。本文为这些修改提供了建议，同时也为可能治疗亚洲老年人虐待受害者的从业者提供了建议。
Within the context of elder mistreatment, little attention has been paid to ethnicity and cultural factors as independent or causal variables. Focusing on the Japanese as an example, this paper explores cultural factors that may be associated with family conflict and elder mistreatment, including the use of silence as an extreme form of punishment. Also explored are the interrelationships of dependency (amae), holding back (enryo), and being in the way (jama); of social obligation (giri), personal indebtedness (on), and natural feelings or desires (ninjo); and of filial piety and casting away the elder (obasute). Currently-used research and detection protocols will not identify elder mistreatment among the Japanese unless they are modified. This paper provides suggestions for these modifications, as well as suggestions for practitioners who may treat Asian victims of elder mistreatment.
