Well-informed or misinformed? News-Finds-Me perception in shaping sexual and reproductive health knowledge and behavioral intentions among Chinese women
The Link between Patients’ Aggressive Communication and Nurses’ Emotional Health Outcomes
The aggressive conduct of patients is a perennial problem that nurses face in health care. Studies have shown that such aggressiveness can be detrimental to the work and emotional wellbeing of nurses. Yet, the literature has had inconsistent findings; in some cases nurses are negatively affected by aggression, while in other cases nurses are not affected. Street and colleagues contended that such inconsistencies in research exist because social m…
Linking Nonverbal Rapport to Health Outcome
A growing body of research on medical communication indicates that nonverbal rapport (e.g., smiling, eye contact, closer proximity) is central to productive health care delivery. However, mechanisms integral to the process by which nonverbal rapport influences health improvement remain under-researched. This study breaks new grounds in proposing and testing mediation pathways that take into account organizational factors. We conducted a cross-sec…
Examining the emergence of Hong Kong identity
Research on Hong Kong identity has focused on several pivotal periods (the 1997 Handover, and the 2014 and 2019 protests), which situates local, postcolonial Hong Kong identity as oppositional to a national Chinese identity. While these time points are critical, it is also important to attend to earlier Hong Kong media, including humorous works. Better understanding of how Hong Kong humour operates expands our knowledge about humour, identity and…
How digital platforms facilitate parody
Previous works on Hong Kong identity and popular culture focused on films, television and music. Few studies investigate humour outside of these media and the humour of online communities. This study argues that humour is an important vehicle of identity construction, especially with the dominance of online platforms in modern communication. Using Benign Violation Theory and Ontological Semantic Theory of Humor, this study demonstrates how the tr…
Identities are no joke (or are they?)
Using the lenses of humor studies and narrative analysis, this paper discusses the stand-up comedy of Vivek Mahbubani, a Hong Kong-born stand-up comedian of Indian descent. Mahbubani uses humor about ethnicity-related issues to highlight the irrationality of racial discrimination and stereotypes. Specifically, Mahbubani challenges people’s preconceived ideas about the speakerhood of Cantonese and the local identity. The present study demonstrates…
Accent in Digital Humanities and Language Studies
This paper argues for the importance of the awareness of “DH accent” and demonstrates with examples in English studies how a localised variation of the curriculum facilitates students’ learning in the classroom and at the curriculum level. This study identifies the problem that studies in digital humanities have focused on the Anglo-American world. We demonstrate with an example in the Hong Kong context that even a curriculum of English language …
