Analyzing the Influence of Filial Piety and Compliance on Neuroticism among Chinese Females in the 1970s

This study investigates the impact of environmental factors on neuroticism by focusing on a cohort of Chinese females born in the 1970s. Specifically, it examines the correlation between filial piety as an environmental factor and levels of neuroticism in these individuals. Compliance served as a mediator in the hypothesized model, and the ideal of filial piety was added to identify the effect of belief or thought systems on behavior. The research contains five hypotheses: (1) a positive correlation between filial piety and compliance, (2) a positive correlation between compliance and neuroticism, (3) a negative correlation between neuroticism, (4) a negative correlation between neuroticism and ideal filial piety, and (5) a positive correlation between filial piety and ideal filial piety. The result affirms hypotheses (2), (3), (4), and (5) while failing to demonstrate a correlation between obedience and filial piety. The failure to support this hypothesis may be attributed to limitations including questionnaire translation issues and the random selection of participants. Orientations for future studies have been discussed.
