“…In contrast to boys, these findings suggest that girls who exhibit greater traditionalism, lower levels of materialism, may be more susceptible to the deleterious effects of negative events. China is a patriarchical society whereby women may have more traditionally prescribed roles (Hamilton, 1990). In response to negative events, girls, but not boys, with traditional values may feel powerless to change and=or manage stressors given that such choices may be constrained by cultural expectations.…”

The goals of the current study were to examine whether (a) negative events mediate the relationship between materialism and risky behavior engagement and (b) materialism moderates the relationship between stress and engagement in risky behaviors in Chinese youth. At Time 1, 406 adolescents (ages 14-19) from Yue Yang, China, completed measures assessing engagement in risky behaviors and the occurrence of negative events. Follow-up assessments occurred once a month for 6 months. In line with our hypotheses, results of hierarchical linear modeling analyses indicated that higher levels of negative events mediated the relationship higher levels of materialism and greater risky behavior engagement. In addition, adolescents who exhibited higher levels of materialism were more likely than adolescents possessing lower levels of materialism to report increased engagement in risky behaviors in response to negative life events. At the same time, the effect was only present in boys. Unexpectedly, girls who reported lower levels of materialism also exhibited increased engagement in risky behaviors in response to negative events.

“…These relationships form the basic structure of a society. To ensure social order, these relationships follow a master-follower hierarchy (Hamilton, 1990;Tu, 1998). Values of submission to authority and male dominance stem from such a belief.…”

Much effort has been invested in the research of work-related values in public organizations but little attention is paid to the importance of personal values. We delve into this underexplored domain through the lens of Confucianism and focus on two Confucian values: (i) submission to authority and (ii) male dominance. We expect that submission to authority is a positive predictor of work morale because it is consistent with the command hierarchy and formal control in bureaucracies. In contrast, male dominance should be a negative predictor as it contradicts equality of opportunity in public organizations. This is significant as personnel practices in public organizations are deemed a role model for business organizations. Statistical findings based on data collected in Taiwan support both hypotheses. We conclude that public personnel practices, especially the hiring process, can benefit from our findings.

“…In Confucianism, harmony is primarily relevant to relationships among people. Harmony tends to be the most important defining characteristic of Confucianism, according to some sources (Hamilton, 1990;Hwang, 2000). Nevertheless, the tenet of harmony has to obey the Confucian logic of zhongyong, or the golden rule of the mean (Chen, 2002;Cheung et al, 2003;Liu, 1997;Pan and Yu, 2001).…”
