Abstract/Summary

The study determined and compared factors that led married Filipino-Chinese women to practice kai shiao in two generations as well as perceptions that the two generations had regarding its continued practice, and kai shiao as a custom. Thirty (30) respondents were interviewed and they were divided into two groups, namely: Married Filipino-Chinese women belonging in the First Generation and married Filipino-Chinese women belonging in the Second Generation. The data were categorized into factors and perceptions of women in generations One and Two. The results of the study revealed that the major factor why Generations ONe women practiced kai shiao is because they grew up in a conservative family setting while the major factor why Generation Two women married women practiced kai shiao is because they were already getting older and still had no boyfriends. Generation One women's perception was that the end goal of kai shiao is to find a marriage partner while for the Generation Two women it is the finding a potential partner not necessarily for marriage.
