Older people's realisation of generativity in a changing society: The case of Hong Kong
Generativity refers to activities that help to establish and guide the next generation. This paper explores the nature of generative concern among older people and how it manifests itself in an era of rapid social and technological changes that have produced wide generation gaps. Eight focus groups were conducted with 51 women and 20 men who were recruited from social centres in Hong Kong on the basis of age, socio-economic status, and level of p…

Quality of life in old age: An investigation of well older persons in Hong Kong
What might add quality to life during the last period of the life cycle? In study I, five focus groups of elderly participants representing different ages and socioeconomic backgrounds provided descriptions of quality of life (QOL) from their own perspectives. These descriptions formed the basis of a questionnaire that was administered to a representative, random sample of older persons in Hong Kong (N = 1,616) in study II. The study II sample wa…

The Development of a Brief Measure of School Attitude
This article reports on the development of a brief measure of school attitude, validated in a sample of Hong Kong secondary school students. The 9-item scale incorporates the three components of school attitude—cognition, affect, and behavioral intention—into a single measure, and the scores showed high internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the items tap a unidimensional latent construct that i…
Regulating Quality of Care in Nursing Homes in Hong Kong: A Social‐Ecological Investigation
A social‐ecological model aided by an adversarial methodology was employed to study the regulation of private nursing homes in Hong Kong over a five‐year period. Specifically the study addresses the way quality of care and its definitions changed in response to shifting socio‐political‐economic conditions. The study began when only 2 percent of the industry was licensable. It was found that an initial period of harmful capture was replaced by a p…
Ageing and Long-term Care: National Policies in the Asia-Pacific
The case studies in this book focus on the emergence, extent and nature of national policies on ageing and associated strategies to address long-term care needs. Key opportunities for and constraints on policy are identified in this first round of regional studies, written by prominent researchers in Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, who are partners in the Ageing Research Network of the Asian Development Research Forum. The cas…
