Abstract
The purpose was to develop a new behavioral familism scale and evaluate whether discrepancy between behavioral and attitudinal familism predicts psychological distress. The study included 432 participants. The new scale demonstrated good psychometric properties. Polynomial regression and response surface analyses demonstrated that discrepancy between attitudinal and behavioral familism predicted depression.
