Does the value of diligence matter more in university students’ academic and non-academic outcomes? An examination to the mediation of achievement goals and the moderation of gender and residence stat…
Differential Value-Wellness Associations in the Unequal World
Amid increasing global inequality and diverse value systems, this study examined how economic resources at both individual and country levels moderate the associations between values and wellness (i.e., subjective well-being and health). Using data from the World Values Survey across 75 countries, the findings challenged the prevailing assumption that a social focus is inherently more adaptive for the economically disadvantaged. Instead, results …
From Affect to Values
INTRODUCTION: Personal values act as guiding principles in life and are thought to be connected to affective experiences; however, past research has primarily examined the direction from values to affect rather than the reverse. This study identified theoretical frameworks suggesting a causal pathway from affect to values and tested this pathway using a lexical approach. METHODS: Study 1 (N = 230) developed and validated a Chinese Personal Values…
Self-concept Clarity and Meaning in Life
Despite the theoretical significance of self-concept clarity in meaning in life in Western thinking, there has been limited empirical investigation in collectivistic cultures. Consequently, the mechanism and boundary conditions of this effect remain unknown in such cultural contexts. To address this gap, we employed a daily-diary method spanning a period of 10 days, which allowed us to examine both the between-person and within-person effects of …
Strength-based cognitive-behavioural therapy and peer-to-peer support in the recovery process for people with schizophrenia
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Dysfunctional cognition and negative symptoms in schizophrenia are associated with persistently low social functioning and quality of life (QoL). Recovery interventions report only a modest effect in improving social functioning and QoL. This study examined the therapeutic effects and pathways of interventions using strength-based cognitive-behavioural therapy (SBCBT) and peer-to-peer support (PSP) approaches. METHODS: A rand…
The Covid-19 pandemic and seeking information about condoms online
Seeking information about condoms online could be a reactive response to high levels of COVID-19 concerns across different populations
Coronavirus-Related Searches on the Internet Predict Covid-19 Vaccination Rates in the Real World
According to the smoke detector and functional flexibility principles of human behavioral immune system (BIS), the exposure to COVID-19 cues could motivate vaccine uptake. Using the tool of Google Trends, we tested that coronavirus-related searches—which assessed natural exposure to COVID-19 cues—would positively predict actual vaccination rates. As expected, coronavirus-related searches positively and significantly predicted vaccination rates in…
Country's value priorities in health crisis
This paper presents two comprehensive studies examining how Schwartz's human values dimensions at the country level predict COVID-19 pandemic severity. Study 1 aggregated survey data across 89 countries from the European Social Survey and World Values Survey to assess societal-level conservation versus openness to change (CON-OTC) and self-enhancement versus self-transcendence (SE-ST) value-continuums. Study 2 developed an innovative archival mea…
The role of ingroup assortative sociality in the Covid-19 pandemic
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Cognitive Behavioral Group Prevention Program for Mainland Chinese University Students in Hong Kong
Purpose: This study developed a culturally appropriate cognitive behavioral group prevention program for Mainland Chinese university students in Hong Kong and tested its effectiveness. Method: A total of 74 Chinese students were recruited and randomly assigned to an 8-week cognitive behavior prevention program (experimental group) or a waiting list control (WLC) group. Results: Compared with the WLC group, participants in the experimental group s…
A meaning-making model of post-migration growth for mainland Chinese university students in Hong Kong
Value change in response to cultural priming
Assimilation and Contrast Effects of Culture Priming Among Hong Kong Chinese
Although culture priming research has established consistently that individuals from a bicultural background shift toward one or the other culture that has been primed (assimilation effect), the opposite contrast effect is less clear. We postulated a general explanation covering both effects in terms of the moderation due to the strength of dual cultural selves, and tested it on a sample of Westernized Chinese in Hong Kong ( N = 416), whose Chine…
Impact of enforcing a statutory minimum wage on work and quality of life of vulnerable groups in H ong K ong
The statutory minimum wage ( SMW ) law was enforced in H ong K ong on 1 M ay 2011. To examine its impact, this longitudinal study measured the quality of life, job and pay satisfaction, monthly income, hourly rate and working hours of vulnerable groups ( n = 253) before and after the legislation. The findings confirmed that the enforcement of the SMW induced a positive impact as intended. The introduction of the SMW induced a positive wage and em…
Cross-Validation of Mental Health Recovery Measures in a Hong Kong Chinese Sample
Objectives: The concept of recovery has begun shifting mental health service delivery from a medical perspective toward a client-centered recovery orientation. This shift is also beginning in Hong Kong, but its development is hampered by a dearth of available measures in Chinese. Method: This article translates two measures of recovery (mental health recovery measure and the recovery subscale of peer outcomes protocol) and one measure of recovery…
