Assoc Prof Setoh Pei Pei’s Research on Filial Piety

We are proud to celebrate the latest achievement of Assoc Prof Setoh Pei Pei, our developmental psychologist whose latest paper is paving the way for a modern understanding of filial piety.

Her latest study, published in Current Directions in Psychological Science (Sage Journals), presents a new framework that challenges traditional views and explores how beliefs, emotions, and behaviours shape intergenerational relationships across cultures and historical contexts. In an era of shifting family structures and aging societies, her work provides valuable insights into the evolving nature of filial piety and its relevance today.
