Abstract
This study examines how acculturation into United States society has caused the structure of
immigrant Filipino families to change. Surveys given to young adults (18-26 years old) who were
born in the United States or emigrated here at an early age provided data about the current status of
the Filipino family in the U. S. Interviews and discussion with Filipino men and women (40-80 years
old) who immigrated to the U.S. as adults provided information which allowed me
to compare and contrast their current family situation to their previous family structure in the
Philippines. This study revealed that while the Filipino family in some aspects has remained
traditional, the influence of United States culture as well as the distance from the "homeland" has
caused a change in the role of individual family members, has altered some beliefs, and has caused some variations in family functions.
