Effectiveness of Lessons Attended in a Voluntarily Shortened Strengthening Families Program
The Strengthening Families Program has a sizable implementation cost, which raises the need to evaluate its efficiency with a lower dosage or fewer sessions. 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…
Scale development and validation of explorer qualities among primary school students in a Vuca world
In today’s VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world, it is vital to nurture explorer qualities, including courage, learning, appreciation, and perseverance, in students from an early stage of education. The present study aimed to develop a holistic Explorer Qualities Scale (EQS) to measure these qualities in primary school students, a topic rarely investigated in prior research. The sample consisted of 475 students in Grades 4–6 a…
Art-based career and life development intervention for non-engaged youth
In this study, we evaluate We.CLAP, an innovative program for non-engaged youth (NEY) that integrates art-based activities with the Youth Development Intervention Framework (YDIF) to enhance NEY’s career and life development (CLD). Using a pretest–posttest quasi-experimental design, we compared changes in Career and Life Development Hope (CLDH) scale scores and transitional statuses between NEY in We.CLAP (intervention group, N = 181) and NEY not…
Strengthening Adaptive Leadership for Organizational Resilience in Hong Kong
Purpose This study evaluates the Jockey Club InnoPower Social Welfare Fellowship Program, designed to strengthen adaptive leadership among Hong Kong's social welfare practitioners who face high turnover and organizational instability. Method : A randomized waitlist control trial (23 training, 39 control) was conducted. Quantitative effects on sense of community, leadership, self-efficacy, adaptive capacity, and innovation were analyzed using Baye…
Reciprocal effects between life satisfaction and help expectancy in China
Reciprocal effects between life satisfaction and help expectancy or predicted help in the future are plausible but obscure and debatable theoretically and empirically. The plausibility rests on exchange theory regarding satisfaction and help as exchangeable favors. However, help expectancy, largely empirically uncharted, can signify social demand and dependency impeding satisfaction. This debate urges the present study to use a panel survey of 12…
Prediction of Youth Violence Perpetration by Parental Nurturing Over Time
Parental nurturing, including maternal and paternal caring and discussing ethics, is likely to predict violence perpetration in the youth negatively. This prediction stands on social bond theory, which specifies that parents and their bonding are crucial to curb violence perpetration. Nevertheless, the prediction is unclear from adolescence to young adulthood. To clarify this, the present study examines the effects over 6 years, using the panel d…
Public Preferences Regarding Equitable Healthcare Rationing Across Gender Identities in China
Public opinion on public healthcare rationing regarding gender identity is crucial for democratic policymaking because of public concern regarding sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression (SOGIE). Based on rationality theory, rationally equitable rationing depends on equity orientations and prioritizing public interest over self-interest. Specifically, equity orientations include those toward equality, need, personal contributio…
Enhancing the Organizational Evaluation Capacity of NGOs
Purpose: Despite increased emphasis on evaluation capacity at the organizational level, limited empirical evidence exists to examine the effectiveness of program evaluation capacity building (PECB) in improving NGOs’ organizational evaluation capacity. In our study, we sought to evaluate the second phase of the Jockey Club Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Institute Project, a PECB initiative in Hong Kong. Method: A pretest–posttest quasi-expe…
District Networks for Promoting Non-engaged Youth’s Career and Life Development
Purpose: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a district network intervention to promote career and life development among non-engaged youth (NEY). Method: A sequence analysis multistate model and a difference-in-differences analysis with a propensity score matched sample were utilized to compare the changes between the intervention ( n = 115) and comparison groups ( n = 254). Data were collected between September 2020 and September 2023 in …
Investigating Developmental Outcomes in School-to-Work Transitions for Youth with Chronic Disabling Health Conditions
This research investigates the differential effects of varying levels of social capital—namely, family, peer, and school/workplace social capital. The study focuses on youth career development competency (i.e., engagement, self-understanding, career and pathway exploration, and planning and career management) as well as psychological well-being (i.e., purpose in life, personal growth, and life satisfaction) of young people with chronic disabling …
Unraveling the school-to-work transition of non-engaged youth
Cross-border travel as a function of exchange and ritualistic interaction
Cross-border travel from one administrative region to another is increasingly prevalent with escalating development in transportation. The travel, such as that from Hong Kong to Mainland China, is conducive to socioeconomic development in places concerned. For promoting travel and development, a review of existing work suggests enhancing cross-border exchange or gain through trading or cooperation, and ritualistic interaction, which employs colle…
Hope, career competency, and social well-being among non-engaged youth in Hong Kong
Although it has been widely acknowledged that hope, career competency, and outcomes of social well-being (i.e., social integration, social contribution, and civic engagement) are key components of youth’s career and life development (CLD), those interrelationships, their predictive relationships, and the relative importance of the variables in the relationships remain poorly understood. To fill that gap, we conducted two network analyses on three…
Pathways from school to work
INTRODUCTION: Research on heterogeneous pathways in school-to-work transitions (SWT), particularly longitudinal research, has been limited, as have empirical studies examining effective interventions for facilitating multiple SWT pathways among non-engaged youth (NEY), who are generally at risk of being not in education, employment, or training (NEET). METHODS: To develop a typology of SWT pathways, we conducted sequence analysis with longitudina…
Violent Behavior and Social Network Antisocial and Prosocial Behaviors
While the youth’s social network has affected violent behavior, the influences of different kinds of networks and their behaviors have been unclear. Accordingly, the antisocial and prosocial of the peer friend (less than 5 years older or younger) network, elder friend (aged > 40 years) network, and the linking or resourceful network are likely influential based on social learning, social bond, and social capital theories. For a contest of the net…
Distress as a Function of Social Exclusion and Assertiveness among Homosexual/Bisexual People
Homosexual (lesbian or gay) and bisexual (i.e., LGB) people tend to suffer from social exclusion and thus distress. To prevent or relieve distress, the people's assertiveness about justice and rights is an advocated means, but its effectiveness is uncertain, considering possible conflict with social exclusion. To clarify the effectiveness, this study analyzed data collected from 189 Chinese LGB adults in Hong Kong, which is a special administrati…
Development and Validation of the Organizational Evaluation Capacity Scale among Nongovernmental Organizations in Hong Kong
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…
Housing Welfare, Personal Responsibility, and Morale in Hong Kong
Controversies ring about the impacts of housing welfare on people’s responsibility and morale to help themselves and others. On the one hand, exchange theory predicts that receiving public welfare triggers responsibility to raise morale for returning favors to the public. On the other hand, the reception may weaken responsibility and morale through stigmatization. To address the controversies, this study analyzes survey data on 1088 adults in Hon…
Enhancing Social Workers’ Capacity Building for Career and Life Development Services
Purpose: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a training program for social workers who provide services for promoting the career and life development (CLD) of non-engaged youth (NEY). Methods: A quasi-experimental design was utilized to compare the changes between the training ( n = 58) and the comparison groups ( n = 48). Focus groups and individual interviews with training participants ( n = 13) and guest speakers ( n = 2) were also condu…
Homosexual/Bisexual Men's HIV or Sexually Transmitted Infection and Their Heterosexual Wives' Remarriage in China
An emerging social issue engrossing research involves heterosexual wives of homosexual/bisexual men (tongqi in Chinese). These wives often marry without knowing their husbands' homosexuality. When realizing their husbands' HIV or sexually transmitted infection, the wives are likely to substitute for their husbands by remarrying. Meanwhile, homosexual husbands are likely to substitute for their remarrying wives and contract HIV or sexually transmi…

Conditions for Social Exclusion Leading to Distress Change in Chinese Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual (LGB) People
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people are likely to be at risk of distress because of social exclusion, including the feelings of resentment, resistance, and rejection they might experience from society. Nevertheless, the conditions for social exclusion leading to changes in distress are empirically unclear, especially in Chinese LGB people. To examine these conditions, this study surveyed 303 Chinese LGB people in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and variou…
Covid-19 Pandemic and Positive Ageing
Given the havoc of the worldwide coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the older population, this article outlines a positive ageing framework for understanding and assuaging the havoc. Positive ageing follows the dual ageing ethics of living positively for self (maintaining health and functional independence) and for the betterment of others (other individuals and society at large). However, it suffers from the pandemic because the pan…
National Experiences and Trust in China’s National Government Among Hong Kong Chinese Youth
The erosion of filial piety by modernisation in Chinese cities
Whether filial piety or financial support to older parents is eroded or maintained through societal modernisation is an unresolved issue in China and a matter of widespread concern. Whereas structural-functionalist theories predict erosion, alternative views suggest that modernisation reduces filial piety only minimally or conditionally. One possible condition that resists the modernisation effect is education. The impacts of modernisation and it…

Impacts of filial piety on preference for kinship versus public care
Elder care can involve the elder's children, other relatives, friends, community, and services sponsored by the government. According to the compensatory view, an individual prefers to rely on only one mode of elder care (i.e., care of elders in society, not just one's parents). In contrast, the complementary view suggests that the individual desires to combine elder care from multiple sources. This view expects that someone who practices filial …
Developing civic consciousness through social engagement among Hong Kong youths
It is not clear how much young people's engagement in activities in the school, youth center, family, and mass media influence their civic consciousness. To answer this question, the present study conducted 7,649 telephone interviews to collect data from 3,757 Chinese young people in Hong Kong repeatedly from 1998 to 2000. The panel study, by controlling for prior scores, allowed for examination of changes due to various forms of social engagemen…
Discriminatory attitudes to people with intellectual disability or mental health difficulty
The integration of people with intellectual disability and mental health difficulty in the community is an issue in Hong Kong because it has encountered public resistance. Understanding the public’s discrimination against them is of theoretical and practical concern. This survey of 822 residents in Hong Kong examined associations of the public’s personal interaction, education, age and sex with its discriminatory attitudes
Job referral in China
There is evidence for the importance of strong ties in job referral among Chinese working people. The principle of reciprocity in exchange theory has been used as an explanation for this. According to the theory, a job seeker who has more resources is more appealing to a matchmaker, who is then more likely to refer the job seeker to a more rewarding job. A strong tie acts to enhance the expectation of reciprocity from the referred person. This st…
The competence of Hong Kong social work students in working with victims of the 2004 tsunami disaster
English Social workers' competence in international disaster relief work involves making expedient use of services and resources. Their competence develops from their individual autonomy and experiences of empowerment. The hypothesis in this article was developed from a survey of 215 social work students from Hong Kong involved in disaster relief. French La compé tence des travailleurs sociaux en contexte de relè ve de catastrophe internationale …
Predictors of the Likelihood of Delinquency
Different theories offer different factors, each of which partially explain delinquency in young people. An integrated framework incorporating these theories would provide a more complete explanation. Theories that need to be built into such a framework include social control, social learning, strain, and cognitive development theories. Data were collected from 229 marginal youth recruited through outreaching social work teams in Hong Kong. The r…
Economic and political conditions and modern and postmodern value orientations of Hong Kong citizens
There is no research evidence concerning relationships between individuals’ modern and postmodern value orientations and their perceptions of modern and postmodern economic and political conditions. To examine the relationship, the present study surveyed 1,008 Chinese adult citizens in Hong Kong, 2000. Results of structural equation modeling indicate that citizens’ perceptions of modern (postmodern) economic and political conditions had significa…
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…

Relationships Between Volunteerism and Social Responsibility in Young Volunteers
A vexing research question concerns reciprocal relationships between social responsibility and volunteerism, characterized by volunteer identity and low volunteering cost perceived among young volunteers. This study analyzes panel data collected from 527 university students engaged in a volunteering project at a university in Hong Kong, China. Controlling for background and selectivity factors, the study reveals that the volunteer’s social respon…
Cross-Cultural Dimensions of Meaning in the Evaluation of Events in World History
The universality versus culture specificity of quantitative evaluations (negative-positive) of 40 events in world history was addressed using World History Survey data collected from 5,800 university students in 30 countries/societies. Multidimensional scaling using generalized procrustean analysis indicated poor fit of data from the 30 countries to an overall mean configuration, indicating lack of universal agreement as to the associational mean…

Rational or demoralized responses to work restructuring in Hong Kong
Owing to the paucity of data demonstrating workers’ reactions to work restructuring, the study examines possible reactions in terms of job performance, attendance at training, and voicing of discontent. It predicts the effects of work restructuring and background characteristics with reference to the exit-voice-loyalty model and demoralization theory. A telephone survey of a random sample of households collected data from 1176 workers in Hong Kon…

Locus of Coping in a Sample of Chinese Working Parents
The Chinese Coping Scale (CCS) was constructed to assess the coping responses of Chinese people to stress in the marital, familial, interpersonal and occupational domains. This scale was administered to 1000 Chinese adults to examine the psychometric properties of the CCS and to test the hypothesis that coping responses of Chinese people could be categorized into two types: reliance on self (i.e., internal locus of coping) and seeking help from o…
Occupational trust in Ex-Mental Patients in a sample of Chinese secondary school students
The Chinese version of the Occupational Trust in Ex-Mental Patients Scale (C-OTEMP; Askenasy, 1974) was administered to 1,850 secondary school students, together with other instruments assessing (a) the students' attitudes toward the rehabilitation of ex-mental patients and (b) the students' mental health knowledge. Although this scale was found to be reliable, factor analysis showed that two factors (Sophisticated Jobs and Unsophisticated Jobs) …
Self-Esteem and Perceptions of the Elderly
Deriving from scapegoat theory, the linkage between one's self-esteem and perceptions of elderly people is hypothesized. The relationship was tested with a random sample of 240 Hong Kong Chinese. Results show that a person who is higher in self-esteem is more likely to perceive elderly people as socially and psychologically adjusted, but physically incompetent. All the three relationships can be explained by scapegoat theory. Accordingly, one pro…
Television Viewing and Mean World Value in Hong Kong's Adolescents
Past theory and research have held television responsible for cultivating the viewer's materialism and trivialization of crime, that is, mean world value. The cultivation effect occurs when the viewer watches television intensely and trustfully. It leads to hypotheses that one who watches television longer on a day and watches television serials repeatedly, and/or believes in the reality of television portrayals endorses mean world value to a gre…
A Cross-Cultural Study of Moral Stage Structure in Hong Kong Chinese, English, and Americans
The hierarchical structure of Kohlberg's stages of moral judgment development was tested by conducting unidimensional unfolding on the stage scores generated by the rating responses to Rest's Defining Issues Test. The sample consisted of 620 Chinese subjects in Hong Kong, 100 English subjects in London, and 353 American subjects in the United States. The results supported the hierarchical structure, provided that a reduced Stage 4 score was const…
Impacts of Social Pressure and Social Support on Distress Among Single Parents in China
A sample of 301 single parents in Guangzhou, China enabled a study of relationships between distress on one hand and social pressure and social support on the other. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that social pressure and social support, including emotional support and instrumental support, were only weakly correlated. They were shown to have equal contribution to distress, which included depression and anxiety. Distress was positively relat…

Participation in Youth Center Activities
Youth centers both develop youths' sense of citizenship and their social integration and discourage their delinquency. These centers, numerous in Hong Kong, provide essential social services for youths. Promoting youths' continuous participation in youth centers is, therefore, a recurrent issue in Hong Kong. A model-the sequential specificity model-appears to be useful in addressing this goal. This model differentiates the sequence of participati…
Validating an American Scale in Hong Kong
The construct validity of a Chinese-language version of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D; Radloff, 1977) was tested on a sample of 138 Hong Kong Chinese married couples. Confirmatory factor analysis identified 2 factors: (a) depressive symptom factors and (b) interpersonal problem factors. Those factors attained convergent, discriminant, and structural validity when evaluated against social desirability. The CES-D al…
Depression, Loneliness, and Health in an Adverse Living Environment
Issues concerning deleterious effects of an adverse living environment, characterized by crowded, noisy, and dirty conditions, have been debatable. One way out of this debate is delineating paths through which the living environment affects outcome variables. The resident's perception of the environment and social relation may lead to such paths. While past studies tended to demonstrate the mediating role of social support, they employed samples …
Impacts of Class on Hong Kong Peoplés Well-Being
Whereas class theory and research have offered evidence showing the significant effect of class on the individual's well-being, some researchers think that class has no impact on people in modem society because of reduced inequality in education and profession. In such a modern society as Hong Kong, further arguments suggest that people have vague images of class. This controversy may arise because of the failure to operationalize class. To amend…
Redefining the Value Structure of College Students in Hong Kong and the Mainland of China
Research and the theory of historical and dialectical materialism suggest that tradition and modes of production would shape the individual's value structure. Corresponding ideologies of modes of production, namely, socialism, capitalism, and feudalism would have their corresponding value factors on Chinese. A study of 1,221 China's and 1,174 Hong Kong's college students provided a test of the proposed 3-factor structure defining socialist/Confuc…
Variation in Structuralist and Individualist Explanations Among Classes in Hong Kong
An essential test for the significance of class examines variation in people's explanation for social reality. This explanation usually comprises two independent dimensions, structuralist explanation and individualist explanation. Whereas structuralist explanation emphasizes causal factors in society and social structure, individualist explanation concerns causal factors in the individual. Class theory predicts that members of the working class a…
Beliefs about elderly people among social workers and the general public in Hong Kong
Discriminatory attitudes to people with intellectual disability or mental health difficulty
The integration of people with intellectual disability and mental health difficulty in the community is an issue in Hong Kong because it has encountered public resistance. Understanding the public’s discrimination against them is of theoretical and practical concern. This survey of 822 residents in Hong Kong examined associations of the public’s personal interaction, education, age and sex with its discriminatory attitudes
Learning to Work Safely With Reference to a Social-Cognitive Model
Issues concerning the effectiveness of promotional activities for working people's occupational safety and health are the focus of the present study. Data were collected from a random sample of 668 working people in Hong Kong by the telephone survey method. The study relies on a framework of social cognitive theory, which posits mediational roles of beliefs concerning one's self-efficacy, the collective efficacy of the promotional organization, a…
Commitment to the Organization in Exchange for Support From the Organization
Despite the abundance of studies of organizational commitment, there is a need for explaining it with data from non-Western societies. According to exchange theory, there may be reciprocal relationships between an employee's commitment to the employing organization and support given by the organization. To examine such an hypothesis in a non-Western society, the present study collected data from 927 employees in eight high-technology companies in…
Idol Worshipping for Vain Glory, Illusory Romance or Intellectual Learning
This study surveyed a sample of 549 and 277 secondary school and university students in Nanjing and Hong Kong to test hypotheses concerning the impact of preference for popular stars as idols or role models on valuations of vain glory, illusory romance, and intellectual learning. The illusory glory and romance represent only the characteristics of popular stars and are thus valued by their followers as a form of remote intimacy. To examine to wha…
Family Stress on Adolescents in Hong Kong and the Mainland of China
Assessing the significance of the family, a notion of the family emerges as a system that provides important resources for its members, but also creates stress upon them. Despite the importance of family effects, no study has examined large samples of Chinese adolescents in both the mainland of China and Hong Kong. To fill the empirical void and extend the research focus on individual family stressors, the present study surveyed 2,142 Chinese sec…
Acculturation, Social Integration and School Achievement among Low-ability Seventh Graders' School Achievement in Hong Kong
Data have not been adequately available for examining effects of acculturation on low-ability students' school achievement. In view of the shortcoming, the present study investigated school achievement based on 170 seventh graders in a low-ability school in Hong Kong. Acculturation is an important concern for these students because many of them are new immigrants. Results show that self-assessed acculturation and peer-assessed social integration …
Service Role Commitment Among Participants in Centers For Children and Youth
Promoting youths' commitment to a service role to serve the community is a developmental goal of both psychological and political significance. Children and youth (C and Y) centers in Hong Kong shoulder this developmental goal. To amass more thorough evidence, this study analyzed data from 1068 participants in these centers, drawn from a representative sample of high school students in Hong Kong. Results of regression analysis showed that, among …
Structure of Moral Consciousness and Moral Intentions Among Youth in Hong Kong
The study is to examine measures of moral consciousness and moral intention and their linkages for Chinese youth in Hong Kong. It aims at testing the cognitive-developmental model of moral consciousness along seven stages, in ascending order: moral confusion, hedonism, personal interests, interpersonal and intrapersonal accord, societal order, societal progress, and universal principledriess. A face-to-face survey of 1,500 Chinese youths in Hong …
Friends' Behavior, the Hedonist Lifestyle and Delinquent and Moral Behavior Two Years Later
Whereas the influence of consumption of pornographic and other problematic activities on young people's delinquent involvement has been a popular concern in Hong Kong, it has not acquired rigorous and generalizable evidence from longitudinal research. With a baseline study of 2,500 randomly selected young people and a follow-up study of 1,686 of them, the present study examined the activities and delinquent and moral behavior over a period of two…
Relationships among the civic awareness, mobilization, and electoral participation of elderly people in Hong Kong
Given the significance of the elderly population in the burgeoning democratic politics of Hong Kong, research is necessary to elucidate the basis for elderly people’s electoral participation. Furthermore, questions regarding impacts of mobilization, and civic awareness on the participation are of important concern. In response to the questions, the present study is the first one surveying a representative sample of 831 Chinese elderly people (age…
