Divergent pathways to influence
Previous research has indicated that both cognitive and behavioral variables mediate the positive effect of optimism on quality of life; yet few attempts have been made to accommodate these constructs into a single explanatory framework. Adopting Fredrickson's broaden-and-build perspective, we examined the relationships between optimism, self-rated health, resilience, exercise, and quality of life in 365 Chinese university students using path ana…

The association between internet addiction and psychiatric co-morbidity
Epidemiology of Internet Behaviors and Addiction Among Adolescents in Six Asian Countries
Internet addiction has become a serious behavioral health problem in Asia. However, there are no up-to-date country comparisons. The Asian Adolescent Risk Behavior Survey (AARBS) screens and compares the prevalence of Internet behaviors and addiction in adolescents in six Asian countries. A total of 5,366 adolescents aged 12-18 years were recruited from six Asian countries: China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Part…
Validity of self-estimated adiposity assessment against general and central adiposity in Hong Kong adolescents
Self-estimated adiposity using the Stunkard's body silhouette scale was positively associated with actual measures of adiposity; however, the association was modest at best. It is unlikely that the Stunkard's body silhouette scale provides a suitably accurate substitute for actual body composition measures in Chinese adolescents
Body esteem in Chinese adolescents
This study examined the associations of body esteem with gender, age, and Body Mass Index (BMI) among 905 Hong Kong adolescents using the Body-Esteem Scale (BES). Older age, male gender and lower BMI were associated with better body esteem. Multiple regression analyses indicated significant main effects of gender, age and weight on BES-Total. Significant interaction effects of gender × BMI and gender × age × BMI were also found on BES-Weight (bet…
Health-related physical fitness and weight status in Hong Kong adolescents
The relations between BMI and health-related physical fitness in adolescents were non-linear. Overweight/obese and underweight adolescents had poorer performance in push-up and sit-up tests than normal weight adolescents. Different aspects of health-related physical fitness may serve as immediate indicators of potential health risks for underweight and overweight adolescents
Family structure, parent-child conversation time and substance use among Chinese adolescents
Non-intact families were associated with substance use among Hong Kong Chinese adolescents. The apparently stronger associations with substance use in paternal than maternal families were probably mediated by the poorer communication with the father
Adolescents' experience of comments about their weight – prevalence, accuracy and effects on weight misperception
Weight comments, mostly incorrect, were commonly received by Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong, and such incorrect comments were associated with weight misperception
