摘要
Study objective was to delineate stages in filial Pole development from recognition of responsibility to provision of help. Fifty-three adult child-elderly parent pairs reported on parent health status and child filial behaviors. Child concern was unrelated to parent health status; urging parent to modify health was moderately related to health status; child's action to provide help was related only to parent's functional adequacy (p < .05). Pair members' reports agreed most strongly regarding functional adequacy.
