摘要

本文分為兩部分。第一部分是從心理學的觀點，對我國經書上所說的「孝行」，試作分析，以瞭解那些行為對行孝者本身的意義。第二部分包括一項問卷調查，以國中、高中、及大專學生為對象，探討他們對於孝道的態度和如何行孝的意見。結果發現這羣青年中，85%以上認為在現代生活裡，向父母盡孝仍屬必要的行為；同時他們對行孝的方式，意見頗為一致，似不受性別、年齡、及教育程度等因素的影響。

Filial Piety, one of the main teachings of Confucius, has often been regarded as the proper ways a child shows his live and respect to parents. An analysis of this concept in the old classics (e.g. Hsiao Ching or the Filial Piety and others) from the psychological viewpoint, however, reveals that filial piety deals much more than mere parent-child relationships. It involves the principles of self-development, general interpersonal relationships and one's everday adjustment. It seems that filial conducts, when performed with correct understanding, would not cause inconvenience or difficulty in modern family life. A survey with an anonymous questionnaire reveals that over 85% of Chinese adolescents feel that filial piety is still necessary in modern societies. Their suggestions concerning its practice is included in this article. Variables such as age, sex, and deucational status have caused little differences in such opinions.
