Dementia diagnoses are increasing within the older adult population of the United States. Informal care often provided by family caregivers has been shown to be beneficial for those with declining cognitive function. However, the impact of caring for another can lead to negative effects, including subjective and objective caregiver burden. Several intrapersonal factors have been identified as buffers to experiencing these two types of burden. Yet, as the United States' population has become more diverse, literature on family caregiver burden in the dementia population does not fully account for cultural characteristics. Additionally, caregiver interventions that focus on maladaptive and adaptive coping styles have yet to be modified to fit varying cultural identities. Thus, the current study has explored a relatively underacknowledged area of neuropsychology on a validated online research platform to follow the intersection of sociocultural factors and caregiver burden across the United States. Notably, the findings provide further evidence that maladaptive and adaptive coping strategies are important to the dementia family caregiver population in relation to subjective caregiver burden, which has implications for predicting future health-related outcomes. In contrast to initial predictions, the results demonstrated imperative considerations in the link between individualism and subjective caregiver burden. Essentially, a higher endorsement of independent ideals could be an important attribute for minimizing adverse behaviors. A series of follow-up subgroup analyses on three demographic factors displayed supplementary informative patterns. In particular, the current study found a distinctive association between individualism and objective caregiver burden within Black or African American participants, demonstrating the need to further study sociocultural factors salient to this racial identity. In conceptualizing future research, these complexities should continue to be examined to help inform effective, yet culturally competent, community-based interventions tailored towards family caregivers who are managing prevalent difficulties presented by a dementia diagnosis. As highlighted in this study, researchers and clinicians can utilize these findings to build on our understanding of how to apply a diversified perspective on caregiver burden and ultimately move towards reducing negative outcomes.
