Convergence or Divergence of Asian Family Values and Practices: Comparative Studies Based on Cross-National Datasets in Asia

Monday, 11 July 2016: 16:00-17:30
Location: Hörsaal 41 (Main Building)
RC06 Family Research (host committee)

Language: English

This session examines recent changes of family values and practices in Asian societies using major cross-national datasets. A recent development of such datasets in the Asian region enables researchers to discuss about diversity and similarities of Asian families. The East Asian Social Survey 2006 (EASS 2006) is a comparative survey focusing on the family conducted in four societies in East Asia. The Comparative Asian Family Survey (CAFS) includes replicated surveys of EASS 2006 in five societies in Southeast and South Asia as well as in the Middle East. There are more datasets that provide the results of surveys in several Asian societies.

This session welcomes papers based on quantitative analyses using one or more of these cross-national datasets in the Asian region. Topics include gender role attitudes, patriarchal values, marital satisfaction, intergenerational support and family solidarity. Special focus is on:

  • the impacts of globalization on family across societies, 
  • whether there are signs of convergence and
  • the effects of cohort turnover in shaping family changes in Asian societies.
