Area of Science:

  • Cross-cultural psychology
  • Sociology
  • Global mental health

Background:

  • Familism, the emphasis on family ties and obligations, varies significantly across cultures.
  • Its impact on psychosocial functioning is not fully understood, necessitating cross-cultural research.
  • Understanding familism aids healthcare providers in addressing familial influences on patient well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of familism on psychological well-being, physical well-being, and life satisfaction.
  • To examine these effects across 48 diverse countries.
  • To explore the moderating roles of urbanization and individualism.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized World Values Survey data (Wave 7) from 69,578 adult participants.
  • Employed hierarchical linear models for data analysis.
  • Assessed the relationship between familism and well-being outcomes, considering urbanization and individualism.

Main Results:

  • A positive association was found between familism and well-being outcomes, suggesting potential universality.
  • Urbanization and individualism did not significantly moderate the familism-well-being relationship.
  • Familism's positive impact on well-being appears stable across different societal contexts.

Conclusions:

  • Familism offers universal benefits for well-being by fostering family connections and providing purpose.
  • These findings are crucial given rising loneliness and social isolation.
  • Integrating familism insights can enhance healthcare provider support for patient mental health.
