Title: | Prevalence and psychosocial correlates of after-school activities among Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong | Authors: | Ma, CMS Lei, Shek, DT |
Issue Date: | Sep-2014 | Source: | Frontiers in public health, Sept. 2014, v. 2, 159, p. 1-8 | Abstract: | Using a cross-sectional design, this study (a) explores the prevalence of after-school activities among Chinese early adolescents and (b) assesses the relationships between participation in after-school activities, personal well-being, and family functioning. A total of 3,328 Grade 7 students (mean age D12.59 years, SDD0.74) completed a self-administered questionnaire. Results showed that the majority of adolescents returned home under adult supervision. Further analyses showed the associations between after-school activities, positive youth development qualities, academic and school competence, family functioning, and risky behavior. Implications regarding efforts aimed at designing high quality and structured after-school youth programs are discussed. | Keywords: | After-School activities Chinese adolescents Family functioning Hong kong Positive youth development |
