Abstract

A questionnaire, administered to a sample of 60 elderly Vietnamese immigrants, probed their (1) proximity to and contact with their adult children, siblings, and parents, (2) overall satisfaction with their family relationships, and (3) generalized filial responsibility norms. The results indicate close proximity and contact with family, satisfaction with family relations, and strong filial norms, except for financial responsibility, which was seen as the government's duty. © 1988.
