{"abstract":"This qualitative study explored the intercultural and family dynamics of Filipino American families in Yakima, Washington State, focusing on how they balance traditional Filipino cultural values and American individualistic ideals. Using semi-structured, in-depth interviews with first-, second-, and third-generation Filipino and Filipino American participants, data were analyzed through thematic analysis. Findings revealed that family obligation, respect for elders, and strong family orientation remained central values despite prolonged exposure to American culture. Participants demonstrated a bicultural adaptation pattern, integrating selected American practices while preserving Filipino traditions through language, family gatherings, religious activities, and cultural celebrations. Family decision-making increasingly reflected egalitarian relationships, though interdependence and respect continued to influence household interactions. The study concluded that Filipino American families in Yakima successfully balance cultural preservation and adaptation by developing a bi-cultural identity. Challenges such as generational differences, communication styles, financial pressures, and cultural expectations persist, but strong family relationships and active cultural transmission contribute to maintaining Filipino identity across generations. The findings underscore the importance of family, community support, and cultural engagement in fostering resilience and sustaining heritage within immigrant communities, offering insights for educators and community organizations.","abstract_source":"gemini_shortened","authors":["Princess Delgado"],"date":"2026-08-24","doi":"10.70838/pemj.620106","id":9494,"issue":1,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"0ab1692f0f00b6bd9f86fc2d2d91eb4acf189df585b0b6fc6406588e062f9a92","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Intercultural and Family Dynamics of Filipinos Residing in Yakima Washington State, USA","volume":62}
