Abstract

Study objective was to delineate stages in filial role 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.
