The Impact of Differential Parenting: A Longitudinal Study of Child and Parent Factors on Children's Psychosocial Health in Hong Kong The overall aim of this study is to examine the impact of PDT on adolescent psychosocial well-being and test adolescents’ perception of fairness as a mediation mechanism. We will further explore whether the mediated pathway via adolescent perception of fairness may be moderated by parental empathy, adolescent empathy and adolescent personality. Effects on adolescents’ psychosocial adjustment will be investigated as assessed by measures of self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and trust in relationships with parents.

The Relationships between Perceived Stress, Coping Strategies, Emotional Intelligence, Life Satisfaction and Psychological Health among Chinese Parents and Caregivers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Case-Control Study Many previous Western studies reported that parents of a child with a developmental disability face many challenges that are not shared by parents of children who have a normal development because children with ASD require more care, attention, and supervision than children without ASD. The demands of care have significant impacts on parents and caregivers’ physical and psychological health and results found that mothers of children with disability had poorer emotional health. Parents with mental health problems may put their children at risk through negative parenting and lower quality of supervision. Hence, it is crucial to examine the psychological health of parents and caregivers of children with disability. Project Start Year: 2018, Principal Investigator(s): NG, Sau Man Catalina 吳秀敏 |

A Longitudinal Study of Preschool Teachers' Professional Development Needs in Hong Kong: Its Relationship with Teacher Efficacy, Job Satisfaction, and Teacher Wellbeing Teachers’ lifelong learning and continuing professional development are key to high quality early childhood education. It is therefore important to understand Hong Kong kindergarten teachers’ professional developmental needs. Teachers engaging in professional development can potentially buffer the impact of stress or burnout because professional development activities can bestow teachers a sense of competence and efficacy. Therefore, participating in teacher professional development activities and teacher efficacy can have an inextricable relationship with each other. Teachers with high self-efficacy have an optimistic belief in their competence to handle the challenges they face, which reduces their anxiety and powerlessness and leads to a higher level of job satisfaction. Thus, teacher professional development might enhance teacher self-efficacy, which might therefore lower teacher anxiety for a better mental health.

Designing and Developing On-line Learning Materials for HD (ECE) Students Blended instruction combining online and face-to-face (F2F) learning elements have significant impacts on students’ learning. To harness the power of blended learning, teachers need to reorganize the learning materials and shift the delivery mode from F2F to online learning. The purpose of using online learning is to encourage students to take charge of their learning and to facilitate the development of a learning community. The proposed project is a new approach for HD students and very innovative in the field of HD programme. It aims at encouraging and providing support to course teachers for them to change some classroom learning materials to online learning materials in order to create an interactive and effective online learning environment which will benefit student learning. Ample technical support will be provided for the 10 course coordinators to design online learning activities to promote active learning. Project Start Year: 2017, Principal Investigator(s): CHAN, Po Lin 陳寶蓮 (NG, Sau Man Catalina 吳秀敏 as Co-Principal Investigator) |

The Effects of Workplace Bullying on Chinese Children’s Health, Behaviors and School Adjustment via Parenting: A Longitudinal Study The overall aim of this study is to examine how the physical health, psychological well-being, school adjustment and problem behaviors of children whose parents are victims of workplace bullying may be related to the impact that workplace bullying has on parenting practices. The proposed study is a quantitative research using a 2-year longitudinal design. Data will be collected from class teachers, employed Chinese parents whose children are studying in primary schools in Hong Kong, and their children. To ensure that the sampling is representative, one primary school will be recruited from each district. A total of 18 primary schools will be invited to join the study. Project Start Year: 2017, Principal Investigator(s): NG, Sau Man Catalina 吳秀敏 |

The Impact of The Use of Mobile Devices on Children’s and Adolescents’ Physical, Psychological Health and Academic Performance Mediated by Parenting Styles With the advance of technology, it is getting more and more common for children and adolescents to own and use mobile devices, specifically referring to smartphones and tablets, which have been proven to be a potential cause of physical and psychological problems for children. However, the existing literature essentially focuses on Internet use, which is only one of the possible reasons for using mobile devices, but by no means the only one. Younger children in particular may use mobile devices to learn and play, which often does not require to be connected to the internet. It is therefore evident that the use of mobile devices in all its possible forms is under-researched, especially in the Chinese context and existing studies do not give justice to the phenomenon of mobile device use by young people if the focus is only on internet use, which may represent only a fraction of the time mobile devices are in use. Since parents are often perceived as exerting a key influence on children’s behavior, investigating perceived parenting styles in relation to the use of mobile devices by children and adolescents can help uncover new insights into how parents can better protect their children from any harm potentially brought by a wrong use or an over-use of mobile devices. Similarly, it is useful to understand whether the use of mobile devices has any impact on academic performance, which also offers an opportunity to explore the relationships between mobile device use, health, academic performance and parenting styles by using a sample of three primary schools and three secondary schools in Hong Kong.
