“…Furthermore, it has been found in non-clinical samples, that older children experience a lower state of anxiety when faced with a stressful situation compared to younger children, as a result of the emergence, with age, of a greater perception of controlling events (Li & Chung 2009), which is associated with the data of the present study, in which a more internal locus of control in older subjects emerged in the CG, but not in the MG.…”

Up until now research studies carried out on abused children have rarely taken in consideration the impact of maltreatment on the locus of control; furthermore results concerning the distribution of attachment internal models in this population are inconclusive. In addition, no study has ever taken in consideration the differential role of attachment and time of exposure to stress in the formation of attributive styles. This research work involved 60 maltreated children and 100 controls with the purpose of evaluating the associations between their attachment and age as for their locus of control. Internal Working Models were assessed by SAT and locus of control by the Nowicki-Strickland Scale. Results highlight mainly external locus of control and disorganized and avoidant IWMs in abused children. Furthermore, age was more predictive than attachment for locus of control. By contrast, in the control group at both age taken in consideration attachment was predictive of locus of control. Results are discussed in terms of problematic symptoms associated to maltreatment.

“…First, it has been well documented that Hong Kong Chinese people are influenced by the philosophy of Confucianism and the associated notion of fatalism. 25,26 This may be due to the attitude commonly held by parents, and most schoolchildren, that academic achievement is related to a better career and brighter future. 1,42 Furthermore, the philosophical concepts of Confucianism emphasizes balance and harmony achieved through the notions of chung and yung in everyday living.…”

“…There are some factors that shed light on these findings. It has been well documented that Hong Kong Chinese parents are influenced by the social-cultural emphasis on obedience, social conformity and academic performance [39]. Consequently, many parents in Hong Kong engage in harsh parenting practices in rearing their children.…”

BackgroundEntering primary school is an important childhood milestone, marking the beginning of a child’s formal education. Yet the change creates a time of vulnerability for the child, the parents and the parent–child relationship. Failure to adjust to the transition may place the family in a psychologically devastating position. The aims of this study were to test the effectiveness of a parental training programme in enhancing the parent–child relationship and decreasing parental stress by reducing harsh parenting in preparing children for the transition to primary school.MethodsA randomised controlled trial incorporating a two-group pre-test and repeated post-test was conducted in one of the largest public housing estates in Hong Kong. A total of 142 parents were recruited, with 72 parents randomly assigned to the experimental group and 70 to the control group. Harsh parenting practices, parent–child relationships and parental stress were assessed.ResultsIn comparison to parents in the control group, those in the experimental group engaged in less harsh parenting practices and reported better parent–child relationships. However, parental stress scores did not differ significantly between the two groups.ConclusionThis study addressed a gap in the literature by examining the effectiveness of the training programme for enhancing parent–child relationship and decreasing parental stress at the time of a child’s transition to primary school. The findings from this study provide empirical evidence of the effectiveness of the parental training programme and highlight the significance of parenting in promoting a smooth transition for children from kindergarten to primary 1.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01845948.
