Journey to Adulthood
An Exploration of Individual, Familial, and Cultural Factors Associated with the Value of Children among Taiwanese Young Adults
The impact of labor market work and educational tracking on student educational outcomes
Happiness in the air?” the effects of air pollution on adolescent happiness
Many previous studies have shown the influence of air pollution on physical health and negative emotions, but only a few using adult samples have shown that air pollution is inversely related to positive wellbeing. This study may be the first to examine the effects of air pollution on adolescents' positive affect. Our results echo recent research on the consequent health burden of air pollution. Given that positive affect has been linked to futur…
Marital Satisfaction Among Taiwanese Young Married Couples
This study aims to illustrate the importance of cultural norms for marital satisfaction among young married Taiwanese couples. Data are taken from the Taiwan Youth Project, a longitudinal panel since the year of 2000, with 401 married couple data completed in 2015. Based on the resource theory and contextual cultural perspectives, results confirm that both resources and cultural factors produce significant effects on young couple's marital satisf…
Early Marriage in Taiwan
Using data from the TYP (Taiwan Youth Project) panel survey, we examine factors associated with early marriages in Taiwan and the subsequent risks for negative outcomes in family life and career trajectories. About 7% of Taiwanese people marry early, that is, before the age of 28 years. Among those who marry early, more than 60% report the birth of a child within the first 8 months of marriage (i.e., they form postconception 'shotgun' marriages).…
Dilemmas of an Aging Society
In an aging society with a declining birthrate, there are more and more elderly to care for and fewer adult children to provide them care; these adult children, and the state, are forced to weigh the costs of eldercare against the cost of child care. In Taiwan, these dilemmas may be particularly acute, given the persistence of Confucian norms of filial piety and the extended family structures. In this study, we examine the attitudes of Taiwanese …
Sociological Perspectives on Contemporary Taiwanese Families
The Effect of Family Cohesion and Life Satisfaction During Adolescence on Later Adolescent Outcomes
Family factors and adolescent life satisfaction have profound effects on later behavior. The present study examined the effects of family cohesion and life satisfaction on internalizing (depression and self-esteem) and externalizing (deviance) outcomes among adolescents. Moreover, this study also viewed internalizing outcomes as conduits that channeled the effects of family cohesion and life satisfaction on later adolescent deviance. Using the Ta…
Subjective Well-Being and Family Structure During Early Adolescence
This study examined changes in subjective well-being (SWB) during early adolescence (seventh grade-ninth grade). We treated SWB as a latent variable, which was measured by life satisfaction, negative emotions, and positive emotions, and employed a growth curve model-to-model change. Aspects of family structure (e.g., parental marital status and members in the household) were included as time-varying covariates. Using a Taiwanese sample ( N = 2,51…
How kinship systems and welfare regimes shape leaving home
This paper aims to explain societal differences in the event of leaving the parental home as part of the transition to adulthood, in the United States, Germany, China, and Taiwan. It proposes bridge hypotheses between societal characteristics such as kinsh
Family and School Strains and Their Effects on Adolescent Deviance in Taiwan
General strain theory is an established criminological theory. Although the theory has been examined by many, the propositions of mediating effects through negative emotions, lower social control, and criminogenic social learning environment are understudied. In addition, previous studies that touched on these mechanisms were limited to cross-sectional data or on samples from Western countries, mostly the United States. Consequently, proper casua…
Unhealthy Sleep Practices, Conduct Problems, and Daytime Functioning During Adolescence
Beyond involvements in romantic and sexual relationships
Adolescent psychological problems have often been associated with subsequent depression that contributes to the global disease burden. We propose initial levels of psychological distress and subsequent changes over the period between late adolescence and young adulthood are partly a consequence of adolescent self-esteem and parental distress, both of which may be at least as influential as teen involvement in romantic and sexual relationships. Da…
Cultivating the Difference
Inspired by Melvin Kohn and Annette Lareau's works, this paper aims to uncover the mechanisms of social reproduction practiced via after-school activities. The world's lowest fertility rate, patriarchal family system, and burgeoning cram institutes make Taiwan a solid case to explore. Drawing on data from the Youth Project from 2000 and 2001 (N=2,126), we examine, step-by-step, the associations between parents' social class, parents' child-rearin…
Marital Power Structure in Two Chinese Societies
The changing nature of conjugal relationships has become a focal issue in family research in East Asia. The rapid social changes in the region have imposed serious challenges to patriarchal dominance as well as to the cultural value of the father-son lineage. Patterns of conjugal relationships thus represent significant family dynamics in response to external changes in the region. A lack of conjugal data and the use of single weight measurement …
The Intergenerational Transmission of the Value of Children in Contemporary Chinese Families
While fertility has been drastically declining in East Asia, mechanisms accounting for the current trend vary. One noticeable mechanism documented is that the changing value of children affects couples' fertility decisions which in turn affect their subsequent fertility behaviour. This study will examine the intergenerational transmission of the value of children (VOC) among grandmothers, mothers and teenagers in two Chinese societies: Taiwan and…
Changing East Asian Families
This special set of three articles reports the findings of comparative studies of family values and relationships based on the unique East Asian Social Survey (EASS) data set. The design of the EASS was intended to facilitate comparisons between East Asian countries and, also, to address debates concerning the impact on them of contemporary global developments affecting their own social structures as well as delineating unique features when compa…
A comparative analysis of intergenerational relations in East Asia
Due to rapid aging of populations in East Asia, intergenerational relations are changing. This study examines these changes in four East Asian societies, chosen for their shared cultural background of patriarchy: China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Data were taken from the 2006 East Asian Social Survey. The authors' analyses show that in these four East Asian societies, contemporary intergenerational relations reveal both continuity and change. Despi…
Filial piety in contemporary Chinese societies
This study investigates the functions and implications of contemporary filial piety in three Chinese societies, namely, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China, using large-scale cross-national datasets from the 2006 East Asian Social Survey. Despite the shared Confucian cultural values among these three societies, they have sharply differed in their paths toward modernization and in the development of their sociopolitical structures over the last century. …
Exploring the relationship between premarital sex and cigarette/alcohol use among college students in Taiwan
These findings suggest health promotion programs for college students need to take developmental and gender perspectives into account. Future research to incorporate a broader, multi-cultural context into risk reduction materials is recommended
Adolescent premarital sex and health outcomes among Taiwanese youth
This study explores premarital sex among adolescents and its health outcomes in a typical East Asian society, Taiwan. As a collective society in terms of cultural heritage, a particular target of this study was perceived peer pressure and its contextual influence. The data were taken from the Taiwan Youth Project, 2004 and 2007, and never married youth aged 20 years constituted our sample (N=3530). Best friends' sexual behavior and other context-…
Community Effects on Pregnancy Intention Among Cohabiting Women in The Philippines
Constructing Educational Resilience
This study contends that the growth trajectory of disadvantaged youth does not need to follow the expected negative path. Diversified developmental patterns may be observed due to the resilience acquired in the process. To consider the cultural background of Taiwan, we selected five parent-youth dyads from economically poor families and explored possible mechanisms contributing to the educational success of children. Data are taken from in-depth …
Intergenerational Coresidence in China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan
A high percentage of elderly parents who live with their adult children is one of the notable living arrangement patterns among senior citizens in East Asia. The present study investigated intergenerational coresidence in China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan by using data from East Asian Social Survey 2006. With a sample of couples aged between 20 to 59 who are married, and those whose parents are alive, determinants of intergenerational coresid…

Types of Relations between Adult Children and Elderly Parents in Taiwan
This study examines the intergenerational relationships in an East Asian society, Taiwan. Types of relations from children's perspective are used to illustrate the dynamics between adult children and their parents. Due to the rapidly declining co-residence between generations, it is assumed that those who do not practice co-residence with parents will become the majority and thus, will become the focus of analysis. Data are taken from the 2006 Ta…
The Psychological Well-Being of Taiwanese Youth
This study examines the growth trajectory of the psychological well-being of Taiwanese adolescents from early to late adolescence. Under the competitive educational system in Taiwan, family and school context are two major loci accounting for the developmental outcome. Data are taken from the Taiwan Youth Project, which is a longitudinal panel study of 2696 students since the year 2000. The study uses individual depressive symptoms as the depende…

The Importance of Social Context in the Formation of the Value of Children for Adolescents
This paper examines how adolescents' values may be shaped by the immediate social context with special reference to social class and rural urban background. The locus of study is Taiwan, a society with drastically declining birth rates in recent years. It is hypothesized that the value adolescents place on having children (or the positive value) and not having children (or the negative value) are accounted for by individual, familial and social c…
Kin Network and its Effect on the Psychological Well-being of the Youth
In the course of fast economic development, a significant concomitant impact on the family system in Taiwan is the weakening of kinship relationships. Nevertheless, denser interactions among kin compared to western societies are still documented. Kin remains one of the major sources of social support in Taiwan. In the paper, we explore the effect of kin networks on the psychological well-being of adolescents based on survey data from the Taiwan Y…
Does Conjugal Disparity Affect Marital Relations
Using corresponding couple data from Taiwan, Shanghai and Hong Kong, the main goal of this article is (1) to explore the conjugal consistency or disparity in marital values and in perceptions of marital relations among three Chinese societies; (2) to compare the relative importance of conjugal disparity vs personal factors in the explanation of marital relations reported; (3) to delineate the effect of demographic pairing in contrast with the eff…

The Linkage Between Work and Family
This paper examines female's employment patterns across three consecutive family life stages with an attempt to ascertain the possible impact of marriage and childbirth on female's employment behaviors. Comparable data sets of Taiwan, Tianjin, and Shanghai are used to compare female's family and work situations. It is assumed that while cultural homogeneity leads to similar changes in the family system, different political and economic developmen…

Gender, Marriage and Family Support in East Asian Families
Overlapping Social Networks
This study uses Burt's theory of structural holes and Lin, Fu and Hsung's theory of position-generated networks to examine a hypothesis about the overlap of couples' social networks and the degree of joint behaviour in conjugal role relationships. The authors devised five overlap types of couples' networks based on two-dimensional network characteristics: the diversity of ego's kin ties and the degree of cross-linkages through spouse's contacts. …
Urban Housing Satisfaction in a Transitional Society
This paper examines factors related to two dimensions of housing satisfaction: satisfaction with space, and satisfaction with location. Two research issues are also examined: the first compares the pattern of housing satisfaction in Taichung with the Western pattern; the second focuses on whether migrant status has any significant effect. The results show that better interior quality is the most important factor accounting for satisfaction with s…

Beyond involvements in romantic and sexual relationships
Adolescent psychological problems have often been associated with subsequent depression that contributes to the global disease burden. We propose initial levels of psychological distress and subsequent changes over the period between late adolescence and young adulthood are partly a consequence of adolescent self-esteem and parental distress, both of which may be at least as influential as teen involvement in romantic and sexual relationships.
