Notably, this Program allows parents and children to attend fewer lessons than those offered voluntarily. The efficiency, largely uncharted, is the focus of the present study to examine the effectiveness of a Voluntarily Shortened Strengthening Families Program and its dosage, as embedded in…

Vocational Identity Statuses Among Hong Kong Sub-degree Students: Pattern Identification and Relationship to Career Development and Academic Performance

However, such research is limited in Hong Kong. Moreover, the relation between vocational identity development and academic performance was inconclusive in the literature, and it was also not tested among Hong Kong students. In light of these, the current study aimed to empirically ident…

From awareness of correctional services to accepting ex-prisoners among the public
Public acceptance of ex-prisoners is a goal for correctional services to promote, supposedly by raising public awareness of the services. This possibility necessitates the present study because of disagreement between the reason-action approach and other views. The disagreement concerns the contributions of awareness about correctional services to favoring and accepting ex-prisoners. This study employed survey data on 1,321 Chinese adults in Hong…

Art Training and Artistic Efficacy as Predictors of Volunteerism in Elders
Facilitating elders’ volunteerism, which comprises motivation and practice to help people formally, is beneficial to the elders and their volunteering beneficiaries. According to social–cognitive theory, such facilitation supposedly benefits from art training to raise elders’ artistic efficacy. This study examines such a supposition with a two-wave panel survey of 118 elders in Hong Kong, China. Among them, forty-seven were art trainees in a seni…

To explain how young people become politically motivated, we borrow from existing li…

The Mark of an Ex-Prisoner: Perceived Discrimination and Self-Stigma of Young Men after Prison in Hong Kong
The stigma of being an ex-prisoner can lead to self-stigmatizing beliefs and hinder reintegration. For young ex-prisoners, this is particularly challenging as they need not only to transition from prison to society but from adolescence to adulthood. This study explores the experiences of discrimination and self-stigma of 16 young men recently released from Hong Kong prisons. Drawing on qualitative in-depth interviews, it reveals that participants…

Voices of the incarcerated father: Struggling to live up to fatherhood
Despite overwhelming evidence that imprisonment has negative consequences for family members, very few studies have explored the mechanisms by which incarceration affects families and children. In particular, the father role is crucial to family members.

Providing Justice for Low-Income Youths: Publicly Funded Lawyers and Youth Clients in Hong Kong

Self-control and the fear of death among adolescents in Hong Kong
The fear of death, as one of the death attitude dimensions, is heavily studied. However, the potential influence of self-control on the fear of death is scarcely examined. Previous literature implies that self-control may be an influential element in determining the magnitude of the fear of death. However, no study, especially in the Asia region, has attempted to directly examine this relationship. Thus, the current study is among the first to in…

Where East Meets West: Fieldwork Instruction in Hong Kong and England
Western models of welfare services and professional training have exerted considerable influence worldwide.

Fieldwork prac…
Client Resistance in Outreaching Social Work in Hong Kong
This paper reports the survey findings of a study on the outreaching social workers' perceptions of client resistance. In light of their social work practice with youth-at-risk in Hong Kong, resistance is generally recognised as a natural phenomenon in the counselling process and to a certain extent, is an obstacle to engaging in purposeful worker-client relationship as well as effecting behavioural changes. On Pipes and Davenport's (1990) classi…
