Association of exposure to extreme rainfall events with cause-specific mortality in North Carolina, US
Extreme rainfall events could influence human health. However, the associations between extreme rainfall events and mortality remain rarely explored. Here, we conducted a time-series study using county-level mortality data in North Carolina during 2015–2018 to estimate the associations between extreme rainfall events and cause-specific mortality. We defined an extreme rainfall event as a day when a county’s daily total precipitation exceeded the …
Performance Over Enjoyment? Effect of Game-Based Learning on Learning Outcome and Flow Experience
Competitiveness in serious games and game-based learning contexts, have been suggested to be associated with variations in flow experience pertaining from game experience. Evidence from the game-based learning literature suggested that game-based learning in general enhances learning outcomes, and applicable to learning psychology at the undergraduate level. Yet the magnitude of such effect remains mixed from empirical evidence. The current study…

The Gratitude of Underprivileged Young People in Hong Kong
The factors that contribute to the development of gratitude in children and adolescents have yet to be determined fully; however, religion/spirituality are promising areas of investigation in the gratitude intervention research. In this study, 101 young people were recruited from a three-year faith-based mentorship program for a follow-up survey to investigate how adolescents’ gratitude is related to their interaction with Christian mentors. Path…

Hope and Life Satisfaction Among Underprivileged Children in Hong Kong
Poverty is a long‐standing problem in developing and developed countries alike. It not only affects people's health and well‐being but may also create the social burden if not addressed appropriately. The present study of 150 children (aged 7–12 years) examines how the disadvantaged children's personal attribute interacts with the environment in developing their well‐being. Structural equation modeling provides evidence to our understanding of ch…
Building Trust-Based Sustainable Networks
Trust is modeled in many disciplines as a key factor in determining if entities cooperate with each other. In the social sciences, particularly within the social, economic, and environmental domains, trust has received considerable attention as the key element to building sustainable societies. However, in the networking and telecommunications fields, trust-based approaches to developing sustainable systems have yet to be examined. In this work, …
A review of features and outcomes of the Hong Kong Child Development Fund
Highlighting the policy background and programme innovations of the HKD 300 million Child Development Fund Pioneer Projects, this article presents results from a quasi-experimental study of 750 adolescents in the first-batch projects. The projects combine a matched-savings programme, a mentorship programme and personal development plans. These features demonstrate the impact of financial and non-financial assets developed over a three-year period…
Coping strategies and social support-seeking behaviour among Chinese caring for older people with dementia
The study reviewed coping and help-seeking behaviour among Hong Kong Chinese family care-givers of older people diagnosed with dementia. A convenience sample of those caring for family members with dementia (N=11) was recruited in Hong Kong. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, transcribed and analysed using NVivo. The study found evidence of distinct Chinese coping strategies that focused upon internal self-regulation, forbearance and fami…
Community Response to Sars in Hong Kong
The cause of immense social cohesion among Hong Kong citizens and organisations during the SARS epidemic and the existing literature were reviewed. The authors argue that the key to success in community involvement and mobilisation toward infectious disease control requires a closer research study especially by psychosocial professionals working in synchrony with the medical and scientific community. The agenda for such fresh area of research mus…
