Previous studies have reported on the effect of filial piety on mental health among adult children. We hypothesized a detailed mechanism for this effect and conducted descriptive and correlation analyses using data from the 2017 Chinese General Social Survey. Results showed that among adult children, dual filial piety (i.e., authoritarian and reciprocal) consciousness had a positive effect on mental health. Further, bidirectional intergenerational support partially mediated this effect, and mobility (i.e., local vs. migrant) moderated this effect, with migrants being more susceptible than were locals. Our findings offer theoretical insight and practical recommendations for improving the mental health of adult children.
