“…Thus, although comparative observational studies of family interaction have shown that mothers in Estonia tend to control their children's behavior more frequently than do mothers in other cultures such as Finland, Sweden, and the United States (Tulviste, 2000;Tulviste et al, 2003), Estonian adolescents appear to feel that they are neither more seriously controlled nor less accepted by their mothers than are adolescents in most other nations where the issue has been studied (Rohner & Khaleque, in press). We speculate here that strict parental control is sometimes interpreted less negatively by adolescents in countries where it is more positively endorsed culturally than in countries where it is not (Bao & Lam, 2008;Rohner & Pettengill, 1985;Trommsdorff, 1985;Wang & Phinney, 1998). …”

This study addresses relationships between perceived maternal, paternal, and teacher acceptance and behavioral control, and adolescents' psychological adjustment, school conduct, and academic achievement in Estonia. A total of 224 sixth graders respond to 3 self-report measures. Adolescents' school conduct and grade point average (GPA) are reported by teachers. Study findings show that girls' psychological adjustment was predicted by their perceptions of both maternal and paternal acceptance, whereas boys' psychological adjustment was predicted only by their perceptions of maternal acceptance. Perceived paternal control emerge as the only significant predictor of boys' school conduct problems, whereas girls' school conduct is predicted only by perceived teacher acceptance. Academic achievement of the adolescents is not significantly related to either perceived parental or teachers' behavior.

“…Previous researches show that adolescents with authoritative parents (authoritarian parenting style is highly demanding and directive, but not responsive whereas authoritative parenting style is both demanding and responsive) were less likely to be involved in problem behaviors. [37][38][39][40] Despite the traditional parenting style of Chinese parents, which was classified as authoritarian, [41][42][43] it was found that Hong Kong's mothers' parenting style was authoritative followed by one which constrained, invalidated, and manipulated their children's psychological and emotional experience and expression. An authoritarian style was rarely used.…”

The aims of this study were to examine the frequency and correlates of problem behaviors among Hong Kong adolescents. It is a cross-sectional survey targeting secondary forms 1 to 3 (equivalent to grades 7-9 in the United States) students (N = 1029). A self-administered questionnaire was used as the measurement tool. The study found that there are intercorrelations of problem behaviors in adolescence, such as tobacco use, alcohol use, drug abuse, and having connections with triad society. Given the intercorrelations among problem behaviors, identification of a single type of problem behavior in adolescents can help discover the likelihood of the occurrence of other problem behaviors. It can facilitate identification and intervention at an early stage. The results provide some insights for the concerned authorities to develop a syndrome approach addressing problem behaviors.

“…Research shows that parents' involvement and expectations affect children's development and learning (Baumgartner & McBride, 2009;Chongvilaivan, Chew, & Yong, 2008;Clarke, 2000;Grinstein-Weiss, Hun, Irish, & Min, 2009;Liang, Fuller, & Singer, 2000;Ojala, 2000;Wang & Phinney, 1998). Recent studies have shown that in Singapore society, which has a strong inclination towards the Confucian ideals of filial piety, obedience, loyalty, and collectivism, students develop school-related anxieties.…”

This article focuses on aspects of children's rights as portrayed in television. The results of a six-month research study show analyses of television content of Channel 5, which is the only free-to-air, 24-hour, English-language entertainment channel in Singapore. The results identify the role of television in assisting Singapore to meet its obligations in regard to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. News and advertisements aired on Channel 5 during primetime (between 7 pm and 10 pm) were recorded over a six-month period, and those featuring or related to children were analysed for the study. The samples were categorised and subcategorised based on the principles of the Convention (UNICEF, (2011a, June 2). Convention on the rights of the child. Rights Under the Convention on the Rights of the Child): Participation, Protection, Development, and Survival. A fifth category, not under United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child-Object, was devised by the researchers. The results of this study have shown that the representation of children on television in Singapore is, in part, a reflection of how Singaporean society views children. Analyses of the media content indicated that protection and development of children was Singapore's top priority. Despite the fact that children were considered to need adult protection there was no reference to the Convention.
