“…Community pride was measured using two constructs using subjective components that were adapted from several studies (Aria and Pedlar, 1997;Bramston et al, 2002;Cook, 1988;Glaster, 1987, Grazin andHaggard, 2000;NRC, 2002;Sampson, 1988;Sampson, 1991;Wandersman, 1981): (1) community attachment, and (2) community satisfaction. Community attachment had a very strong reliability coefficient (a ¼ 0.90) and was measured by seven items that asked residents if they wanted to live in the town, if they are proud to tell others where they live, if they feel like they belong in the community, and if they feel safe in the community.…”

“…Literature focusing on the consequences of leisure boredom shows that boredom is related to poor mental health (e.g., loneliness, depression, and anxiety), and to problematic behavior (e.g., eating disorders and substance abuse) [27][28][29]. Leisure boredom has also been found to significantly predict low life satisfaction [26,30,31]. Leisure boredom explains depression cases, physiological disorder cases, seemingly unreasonable behavior, and proneness to quarrel among CMATMs.…”

Chinese medical aid team members (CMATMs) play an important role in the implementation of China’s health assistance strategies in Africa. This paper explored the influencing factors of expatriation willingness for Chinese medical aid team members (CMATMs). We employed a qualitative descriptive study using semi-structured interviews with twenty-five participants. Participants included hospital directors and local Health and Family Planning Commission (HFPC) officers who were in charge of CMATMs dispatching, and CMATMs that had returned from medical aid service. Six influencing factors emerged: career advancement, loneliness, living conditions, personal safety, family–work conflict, and doctor–patient relationship. Career advancement is the most important factor and concern for doctor CMATMs. Social use of Internet is on the core of entertainment. Enhancing technical title promotion policies is the most important motivator. This study obtained baseline information that is useful to relevant stakeholders in their attempts to improve CMATMs’ expatriation willingness.

Achieving a global perspective has become essential under globalization, and thereby both China government and the parents have increased spending on global perspective education. Resource theory posits private and public resources can have positive social impacts. Nevertheless, the independent and interactive impact of private and public resources on global perspective remains underexplored. Through a survey applied on 645 high school students in Shenzhen, China, the results show that only household income has an independent positive effect on global perspective. Notably, there is a positive effect on global perspective from the interaction of household income and district GDP. This possibly suggests the limitations in the manner of public resources distribution. To rectify it, public resources should be more targeting to students in needs to minimize social inequality.
