| description | This study examines the relationship between parental belief on filial piety and child psychosocial adjustment
among Malay families. The study sample comprised 108 mother-child dyads of Malay families from the central
zone of Peninsular Malaysia. Data were collected using structured questionnaires. Parental belief was measured
using Parental Belief Scale, while child psychosocial adjustment was measured using Strengths and Difficulties
Questionnaire (SDQ). Results showed that children whose parents believed in filial piety had significantly
lower levels of total difficulties in behavioural, emotional symptoms, conduct problem, and hyperactivity or
inattention. Findings implied that filial piety could be used as a positive measure of behavioural and emotional
control of a child. Therefore, it is important for parents to nurture their children about filial piety expectations
so as to provide them with moral education associated with positive psychosocial adjustment. |
