| Title: | Family and personal adjustment of economically disadvantaged Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong | Authors: | Shek, DTL Tsui, PF |
Issue Date: | 2012 | Source: | The scientific world journal, 2012, v. 2012, 142689, p. 1-8 | Abstract: | This study attempted to examine the relationship between poverty and adolescent developmental outcomes in the family and personal domains in 3,328 Chinese secondary school students in Hong Kong. Developmental outcomes included positive youth development constructs, problem behaviors, perceived family interaction, and parental parenting. Results showed that adolescents experiencing poverty did not differ from nonpoor adolescents in terms of risk behavior and in most indicators of positive youth development. On the other hand, adolescents with economic disadvantage displayed lower levels of positive identity, family interaction, and perceived paternal parenting than did those without economic disadvantage. | Keywords: | Adolescent Child parent relation Chinese positive youth development scale High risk behavior |
