Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine cross-cultural differences of family values between the United States and Ireland. A survey will be administered to participants in both the U.S. and Ireland either through a paper form or online survey. Participants of different ages, ethnicities, religious beliefs, and family dynamics will be recruited from two countries. The survey is consisted of questions about the participant's demographics, family relationships, customs of their ethnic group, personal beliefs, as well as questions about their response to some scenarios and hypothetical situations pertaining to their family values and parenting practices experienced in their culture. The researcher plans to encourage participation by providing a small incentive. Factors such as divorce, adoption, and religious beliefs will also be evaluated to examine the impact they have on family values. A significant difference in family values between families from the United States and Ireland is expected.
