“…Although in previous works (e.g. Chui & Chan, 2012b, 2013 there have been some support of the correlations between pro-offending attitudes and criminal behaviour among young offenders in Hong Kong, this study extends the literature by utilising an established measure of criminal attitudes, the CSS-M, and testing the relationship between criminal sentiments and law violations of young people in Hong Kong. This study also took into consideration measures of social factors of youth that have been found to influence delinquent behaviour in the Hong Kong context (e.g.…”

Criminal attitudes have been found to influence criminal behaviour. Yet this is an understudied area in Hong Kong despite the scholarly interests in youth delinquency. In this study, we tested the relationship between criminal sentiments and social factors and illegal conduct among 942 Chinese youths (aged 14-18) in Hong Kong using the Criminal Sentiments Scale-Modified (CSS-M). The results were mixed. While all the underlying factors of the CSS-M were found to be significant, only negative attitudes towards the Law-Court-Police and Identifications with Criminal Others had a positive relationship. Contrary to expectations, Tolerance for Law Violations had a negative correlation. Moreover, both social factors and criminal attitudes were found to be significant in influencing youths' criminal behaviour. The results are discussed in the Hong Kong Chinese context.

“…In this study we have linked the female role to women and the male role to men and have found differences. These can be related to aspects that each stereotyped gender marks as its own, differentiating between male and female to achieve life satisfaction (Chui et al, 2013).…”

The main purposes of this study were to describe teacher education students’ values and degree of satisfaction with life, to analyze whether any differences by educational program, gender or living standard and to analyze the association between values and satisfaction with life. A total of 565 students of teacher degree programs (girls 415 (73.5%)) answered a self-administered questionnaire composed by two validates scales about their values (Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ) and satisfaction with life (Satisfaction with Life Scale)). The results showed that the most important values were self-direction, benevolence and hedonism, while the least important values were power, tradition and achievements. Females reported higher importance for benevolence, universalism, self-direction, stimulation, hedonism and security. Males reported higher importance for power. Students who live with family reported also more high values for power. Concerning satisfaction with life, it was associated to higher values of power. Current intervention programs have focused different approaches by gender and living standard. Programs focus on increasing satisfaction with life should consider the values structure of students.

“…The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale was used to measure participants' selfvalue and self-acceptance (Rosenberg, 1965). The scale has been found to work well with Hong Kong Chinese samples, with internal consistency estimates ranging from 0.67 to 0.88 (see, e.g., Cheuk, Wong, & Rosen, 2011;Chui & Chan, 2013;Tse, Wu, & Poon, 2011). The scale has 10 questions in a 4-point response format.…”

Association Between Parents’ Marital Status and the Development of Purpose, Hope, and Self-Esteem in Adolescents in Hong Kong

This study investigates the role of parents’ marital status in adolescents’ mental well-being. Although the separation of parents is generally regarded as a negative condition on adolescents’ growth, we find evidence of strong positive development in certain areas. Faced with an adverse family background, even though teenagers might have lower happiness and life satisfaction, they come to develop stronger purpose in life, higher hope for the future, and higher self-esteem. We argue that this is because the tougher circumstances force them to become independent and develop their own identity. On the other hand, these attributes are found to be lower among older adolescents in “normal” family backgrounds, which provide an interesting contrast to prior research, which has argued that intact families are positive for development. The results of this study have strong implications for the study of teenage well-being.
