Abstract

ABSTRACT This qualitative research project conducted among Japanese Americans examined the relationship of cultural patterns to the problem of elder mistreatment. Grounded theory analysis of 27 transcripts revealed that behaviors in conflict situations are governed heavily by group loyalty. The consequences of placing the group above oneself include a quiet maneuvering and promoting harmony through accommodation. Current practice methods may need to be modified with this population to include triadic management and treatment of the “we-self” or the individual within a group context.
