familialism

Familialism is a social value that emphasizes the importance of family relationships, loyalty, and responsibilities over individual interests. It encourages individuals to prioritize the needs and well-being of their family members, often expecting strong family bonds and collective support. In cultures with familialism, family commitments can influence choices in careers, marriage, and personal life, with a focus on maintaining family honor, cohesion, and interdependence. While fostering close family ties, it can sometimes limit personal independence or decision-making outside the family's expectations.
