Filial piety, as an important value and social norm, influences individual well‐being. However, previous studies have shown inconsistencies regarding the relationship between filial piety and life satisfaction. Based on the dual filial piety model, this meta‐analysis aimed to thoroughly assess the relationship between dual filial piety, which includes reciprocal filial piety (RFP) and authoritative filial piety (AFP), and life satisfaction. Through a systematic literature search, a total of 21 studies with 11,775 participants and 40 effect sizes were identified. Our results indicated a significant positive association between both RFP and AFP and life satisfaction. In addition, several moderating factors, including age, year of publication, and geographic region, were found to influence these relationships. These insights are particularly relevant for family scientists, researchers, and professionals, providing evidence‐based guidance for enhancing interventions focused on familial relationships and individual well‐being across diverse cultural contexts
