An Exploratory Study to Test the Psychometric Properties of Character Strengths-Semantic Differential Scale (CS-SDS) Among Singaporean Adults
Character strengths encompass a set of positive traits that can be manifested through thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. To measure the 24 character strengths, the Character Strengths-Semantic Differential Scale (CS-SDS) was used. The aim of the study was to (a) test the factor structure of CS-CDS and (b) test the convergent validity of CS-CDS with life satisfaction and positive affect, and the divergent validity of CS-SDS with negative affect. I…
Relationships between Social Networking Sites Use and Self-Esteem
With the prevalence of the internet, there is growing attention on the impacts of social networking sites use among adolescents. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between different types of online activities (i.e., information searching, social interaction and entertainment) and self-esteem. It examined whether the relationships vary across gender. One hundred and ninety-three students (57.5% males; M age = 13.33, SD age …
Subjective Outcome Evaluation of Service-Learning by the Service Recipients
This study validated a subjective outcome evaluation scale based on the perceptions of service recipients and examined the normative profiles as well as correlates of client satisfaction under a corporate-university-community Service-Learning (SL) programs, where university students conducted the SL programs with high school students as the service recipients. Based on data collected over three years from high school service recipients ( N = 1854…
The Relationship Between Social Support and Life Satisfaction Among Chinese and Ethnic Minority Adolescents in Hong Kong
Sleep Quality Types and Their Influences on Psychological and Physical Health in Chinese Adolescents
Poor sleep in adolescents is a global health problem. This study examined Chinese adolescents’ sleep quality types by using a person-centered approach and examined the associations of adolescent sleep quality types with psychological characteristics and health risk behaviors. Using data from 1,310 Chinese adolescents (53.7% male; mean age = 13.48 years) and latent class analyses, four distinct sleep quality types were identified: good sleepers (2…
Evaluation of a Positive Youth Development Program in Hong Kong
Objectives: In this study, we used the one-group pretest–posttest design to examine changes in students after joining a positive youth development program (Project PATHS) in Hong Kong, with 9,226 successfully matched junior high school students joining the Tier 1 and/or Tier 2 program(s). Method: Program participants completed the validated outcome measures on positive youth development, life satisfaction, and thriving before and after joining th…
Objective Outcome Evaluation of a Positive Youth Development Program
Objective: The present study explored the outcomes of a positive youth development (PYD) program entitled “Project P.A.T.H.S.” based on a total of 12,281 Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong. Method: To understand the impact of this program, the study assessed the changes in developmental outcomes using a single group pretest and posttest design. Results: Findings showed that the participants displayed positive changes in PYD attributes, life satisfa…
Measuring Perceived Parental Sacrifice Among Adolescents in Hong Kong
Gender Invariance of Family, School, and Peer Influence on Volunteerism Scale
Objective: This article examines the measurement invariance of Family, School, and Peer Influence on Volunteerism Scale (FSPV) across genders using the mean and covariance structure analysis approach. Method: A total of 2,845 Chinese high school adolescents aged 11 to 15 years completed the FSPV scale. Results: Results of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) are consistent with those of previous studies and support the four-factor model of the …
Validation of Family, School, and Peer Influence on Volunteerism Scale Among Adolescents
Social systems, particularly family, school, and peer, are especially critical in influencing adolescents to participate in volunteer service; however, no objective measures of this construct exist. Objectives: This study examined the psychometric properties of the Family, School, and Peer Influence on Volunteerism scale (FSPV) among Chinese adolescents. The FSPV is an instrument that assesses the perceived influence of these social systems on ad…
Exploration of the Factorial Structure of the Revised Personal Functions of the Volunteerism Scale for Chinese Adolescents
Dimensionality of the Chinese Positive Youth Development Scale
The Chinese Family Assessment Instrument (C-FAI)
Objective: This paper examines the dimensionality and factorial invariance of the Chinese Family Assessment Instrument (C-FAI) using multigroup confirmatory factor analyses (MCFAs). Method: A total of 3,649 students responded to the C-FAI in a community survey. Results: Results showed that there are five dimensions of the C-FAI (communication, mutuality, conflict and harmony, parental concern, parental control), which are subsumed under two highe…
