תיאור: This study focuses on filial responsibilities among uprooted families. Views of 20 mothers and 20 adolescents and youngadults from southern Lebanon residing in Israel were compared to identify the roles that adolescent children assume and the perceived effects of these roles. Eight domains of filial responsibilities were agreed upon: language broker, cultural broker, financial supporter and breadwinner, surrogate parent and sibling caretaker, emotional supporter of parents, mediator of family conflicts, heritage transmitter, and role model. The roles had simultaneous positive effects and negative effects. The discussion illustrates the importance of cultural context of country of origin and the host culture. Moreover, it suggests implications of the findings for research and practice. © 2016 The Authors. Journal of Research on Adolescence © 2016 Society for Research on Adolescence
