The presence of meaning in parenthood and parental self-efficacy: A serial mediation model from social support to parent-child relationships
Social support is positively associated with parent-child relationships, both directly and indirectly, via the presence of meaning in parenthood and parental self-efficacy. Future research could employ the serial mediation model to explore the effects of social support on the well-being of parents and children. Additionally, future practice may prioritize the presence of meaning in parenthood as a crucial outcome indicator for parenting intervent…

Based on a parent empowerment project conducted in Hong Kong, this study adopted a multiple-case design to explore the possibility of navigating the em…
Practitioners' capacity‐building for parent empowerment: A pilot non‐randomized controlled trial
Although research has increasingly recognized that parents benefit from parent empowerment programs, studies on the outcomes of the capacity‐building of practitioners of such programs are generally lacking.

A total of 56 practitioners were recruited from 10 social service agencies in Hong Kong to participate. M…
Adaption and validation of a quantitative measure for associational social capital among Chinese parents in Hong Kong
This study investigates the reliability and validity of the Associational Social Capital Scale (ASCS) among the parent population. Participants were Chinese parents (N = 577) residing in Hong Kong.

EFA yielded a new threefold factor structure (i.e. social cohesion and relationship, common value, and position) with 10 it…

A total of 1292 Chinese mothers were recruited from different Hong Kong communities; 361 were 24 years of age and younger and were categorized as younger mothers, and 931 were older than 24 years o…
