Abstract
This article examines the changing nature of socio-economic conditions for Korean immigrants, which strain their intergenerational relationships in the United States. As the family-kinship system of Korean immigrants changes toward the conjugal family, it is contended that their traditional expectation of filial piety should be modified. The problems in fulfilling the traditional expectation of filial piety and the nature of the modified expectation of filial piety are discussed.Keywords
