This study was designed to examine the attitudes toward family obligations among Chinese
undergraduates. There are many differences of values and expectations regarding to
undergraduates’ duty to assist, respect, and support their families, which relate to their age, gender,
family structure, and socioeconomic background. Whereas an emphasis on family obligation
seemed to be associated with more positive family and peer relationships and academic motivation.
The results indicated that even within a society where the western culture is more and more
influential, youths retain their parents’ family values and that these values do not have a negative
impact upon their development.
