Extending the theory of planned behaviour to explore the plastic waste minimisation intention of Hong Kong citizens
This study aimed to explore the relationships between situational and psychological factors and Hong Kong citizens’ plastic waste management (PWM) intentions based on an extended theory of planned behaviour model with situational factors. A total of 996 Hong Kong permanent residents were surveyed, and data were analysed using structural equation modelling. The results revealed that situational factors had a direct and positive effect on PWM inten…
Family factors and fruit and vegetable consumption in Chinese preschool children living in Hong Kong
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the association of various family factors with children’s fruit and vegetable (FV) intake. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional analysis of data from 601 parent-child dyads with children aged three to six years old was conducted. Parents completed questionnaires on child’s FV intake, parenting styles, parental feeding practices, family functioning, television viewing at mealtimes and freque…

The association of levels of physical activity with metabolic syndrome in rural Australian adults
Some PA is better than none if adults, particularly women, are to reduce their risk of metabolic syndrome and associated vascular diseases. Specialised interventions that take rurality into consideration are recommended for adults who are inactive
Mutual self‐disclosure online in the B2C context
Purpose This paper aims to investigate the relationship between company identity information disclosure, trust, and consumer self‐disclosure intentions during the first visit to a company website. Design/methodology/approach This study conducts one‐factor (company identity information disclosure) between‐subject experiment design. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups: company identity information disclosure – high vs low. Furthermo…
The Nonverbal Communication Functions of Emoticons in Computer-Mediated Communication
Most past studies assume that computer-mediated communication (CMC) lacks nonverbal communication cues. However, Internet users have devised and learned to use emoticons to assist their communications. This study examined emoticons as a communication tool that, although presented as verbal cues, perform nonverbal communication functions. We therefore termed emoticons quasi-nonverbal cues.

Physical Interpersonal Relationships and Social Anxiety among Online Game Players
Many online game players spend inordinate amounts of time in their favorite virtual worlds. A large percentage of these players are teenagers who show behaviors normally associated with physical addiction. Parents, educators, and social scientists are therefore saying that online games are sources of social problems. The authors surveyed 174 Taiwanese college-age online players to collect data on the potential effects of online games on the quali…

A Rasch Analysis of a Self-perceived Change in Quality of Life Scale in Patients with Mild Stroke
Preliminary validation of the Chinese version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory
The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) is a scale for assessing health-related quality of life of children and adolescents aged 2–18 years. Three reports of PedsQL for the age ranges 2–4 years and 5–7 years were translated into Chinese and their validities were examined. A total of 186 children and parents were involved in the study. Content validity, test–retest reliability, internal consistency reliability and construct validity were …
Living Alone, Social Support, and Feeling Lonely Among the Elderly
This study aimed to describe the characteristics of the elderly population living alone, and to examine how living alone relates to feeling lonely. Interviews were conducted with a stratified random sample of 4,859 elderly individuals living in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Variables collected included demographic information, living alone or not, activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), Short Portable Mental Status …
Characterization of Apolipoprotein E Genetic Variations in Taiwanese
Apolipoprotein E (apoE, protein; APOE, gene) is important in lipoprotein metabolism. Three isoforms, apoE2 (Cys112 Cys158), apoE3 (Cys112 Arg158), and apoE4 (Arg112 Arg158), are present in the general population. This report investigates the frequency distribution of apoE isoforms and the association of APOE genotypes with plasma lipid profile and coronary heart disease (CHD) in a population of Taiwan. ApoE isoforms were determined genetically by…
Age and injecting drug use in Perth, Western Australia
Young injecting drug users (IDUs) in Australia are a group about whom little is known. It is suggested, however, that their drug using behaviours and life styles put them at particular risk for HIV/AIDS. Data collected in Perth from 195 respondents in the Australian National AIDS and Injecting Drug Use Study was analyzed with emphasis on the distinctions between young and older injecting drug users. It was found that, relative to those aged 23 or…
