Using the Sociocultural Stress and Coping Model (Aranda & Knight, 1997), this study explores the effects of filial piety values on caregiver burden and depression. Eighty-seven Korean-American caregivers and 83 Korean caregivers were interviewed using questionnaires. The results of path analysis and discussion are as follows. Korean caregivers used less active coping and more passive coping compared to Korean-American caregivers. The use of active coping was found to be related to lower caregiver depression. However, Korean caregivers used more passive coping which showed no significant effect on caregiver burden and depression. With regards to caregiver training, it should be emphasized that active coping, but not passive coping, helped reduce caregiver distress. In addition, filial piety values showed a positive effect on active coping. More studies of filial piety and active coping are recommended. It is also necessary for the "moderners" who view traditional values with less regard, to pay attention the positive effects of filial piety values. Furthermore, we should prepare policies to reduce the negative effects of caregiving. Higher levels of functional difficulties and behavior problems correspond with higher levels of caregiver burden and depression.
