Idols as Sunshine or Road Signs
This study seeks to contrast absorption-addiction idolatry and identification-emulation idolatry. Whereas absorption-addiction idolatry progresses from entertainment/socializing to personalizing and obsession about the idol, identification-emulation idolatry unfolds in terms of identification, attachment, romantization, idealization, and consumption about the idol or his or her derivatives. Based on a sample of 1310 secondary school and universit…
Unpacking the Gender Differences on Mental Health
Mental health studies show that women are likely to score higher on subjective well-being and higher on depression than men. To verify this, the present study collected a sample of 5648 undergraduates in 55 universities in China. Results showed that women reported higher optimism, gratitude, subjective well-being, and depression than men, and that optimism and gratitude mediated the relationship between gender and mental health (subjective well-b…
Humor Styles, Creative Personality Traits, and Creative Thinking in a Hong Kong Sample
Humor is found to be an essential element of creative thinking in Western culture. In Eastern culture, however, the relationship between creativity and humor is ambivalent. This study examined the relationship among humor styles, creative personality traits, and creative thinking abilities. A sample of 118 Chinese undergraduates in Hong Kong was recruited to complete the Humor Styles Questionnaire, the three Creative Personality subscales of the …
Humor Styles and Loneliness
This study examined the relationship between humor styles and loneliness among a sample of Hong Kong and Mainland Chinese. A total of 159 Hong Kong undergraduates and 178 Hangzhou undergraduates were recruited to complete a survey composed of the Humor Styles Questionnaire and the Emotional and Social Loneliness Scales. Multiple regression analyses showed that self-defeating humor explained significant variance in both social and emotional loneli…
Humor Styles, Self-Esteem, and Subjective Happiness
This study examined how humor styles could mediate the effect of self-esteem on subjective happiness. 227 Hong Kong undergraduate students completed the Humor Styles Questionnaire, the Roxsenberg Self-esteem Scale, and the Subjective Happiness Scale. Results showed adaptive humor styles (affiliative humor and self-enhancing humor) significantly predicted self-esteem and subjective happiness and mediated the relationship between self-esteem and su…
Humor styles, optimism, and their relationships with distress among undergraduates in three Chinese cities
The supposed benefit of humor for the relief of distress has not been demonstrated with certainty amongst Chinese people. In particular, an empirical study of this benefit is necessary in order to clarify the differential effects of different styles of humor, after controlling for optimism. With this aim, the present study investigates the effects based on data from 493 university students in three Chinese cities, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macau.…

Idol worship as compensation for parental absence
Idol worship refers to psychological identification with and emotional attachment to an idol figure, who is most likely to be a celebrity for young people nowadays. Fragmentary findings in previous research on adolescent idol worship suggest that it may represent compensation for the worshipper's deficits, such as those in parental resources. To illuminate this compensation perspective, the study surveyed 401 Chinese secondary school students in …
Pentangular Dimensions of Chinese Adolescents' Idol Worship
Building on theory and research, a pentangular conceptualization specifies dimensions of idol worship in terms of identification, romanticization, idealization, intimatization, and commodification. Validation of a measurement of idol worship is the endeavor of the present study of 1,641 Chinese secondary school students. In demonstrating the convergent and discriminant validity of the measurement, findings verify a negative relationship between i…
Different Attitudes toward Humor between Chinese and American Students
Although cross-cultural research indicates that Chinese people demonstrate less humor than do Americans, little research addresses the reasons. This cross-cultural difference may be largely due to different implicit attitudes toward humor held by Chinese and Americans, deeply rooted in the two cultural traditions. Both self-report evaluation and the Implicit Association Test (IAT) were used to compare Chinese and American attitudes toward humor. …
The Chinese ambivalence to humor
This paper proposes that Chinese people have traditionally been ambivalent about humor in the following three manners: (1) they tend to value humor but consider themselves to lack humor; (2) being humorous is not associated with being an orthodox Chinese; (3) humor is important but not for everyone. The paper also proposes that the Chinese ambivalence toward humor is largely due to an appreciation-despising complex about humor that is deep-rooted…
Exploration of Chinese humor
Humor was first documented around 2,500 BC in China when the first Chinese poetry and literary books appeared. Zhuangzi, a co-founder of Taoism, is recognized as the very first humorist in China. Chinese humor has been mostly characterized by joke-telling and funny show-performing. Humor has been traditionally given little respect in Chinese culture mainly due to the Confucian emphasis on keeping proper manners of social interactions. Confucius o…
Luminary emergence and eminence across Chinese history
Historiographic investigation of the emergence and eminence of Chinese luminaries with regard to a thorough set of predictors gleaned from Western and Chinese literatures is unprecedented. Such an investigation can illuminate the trajectory of Chinese civilization. Based on surveys of Chinese people in various cities, a pool of 246 luminaries emerged to represent influential paragons in Chinese history. These luminaries tended to emerge under the…
Whoever is Influential is Creative
This study surveyed 994 undergraduates in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Nanchang, Nanjing and Xian about their nomination and evaluation of the most creative people in Chinese societies as well as their valuation of collectivistic and individualistic goals of creativity. Politicians and scientists/inventors were mostly nominated and were generally rated higher on social contribution than on creativity. Artists/musicians and writers/poets were rarely nomi…

Adolescent Modeling after Luminary and Star Idols and Development of Self-efficacy
In theory, modeling after the luminary idol can foster the adolescent's perception of self-efficacy. Rather than being an alienated subordinate to the idol, adolescents who model after their idols can actively develop their potential. They can benefit from modeling after luminaries who are talented and resourceful. In contrast, adoring star idols would tend to be an alienating activity that denigrates the adolescent's self-efficacy. The study inv…
Identity Achievement and Idol Worship among Teenagers in Hong Kong
Worship of idols, typically comprising pop stars and athletic stars, is common among the younger generation. Its influences on youth's identity achievement, however, have largely been an untapped area in empirical research. The present study aims to conduct a holistic analysis of the origins, processes, and consequences of idol worship with regard to identity achievement. It collects data from 833 Chinese teenagers in Hong Kong through a telephon…
