“…However, these results were not replicated in the culturally and contextually dissimilar context of Hong Kong. Ngai, Cheung, To, Liu, and Song (2013) found that parental monitoring had no significant influence on the resilience processes of poor youth. Similarly, within the context of dysfunctional Hawaiian families, Werner and Smith (1982) associated children's resilience with an absence of child-parent attachments.…”

Extant theories of resilience, or the process of adjusting well to adversity, privilege the voices of minority-world young people. Consequently, the resilience of marginalized, majority-world youth is imperfectly understood, and majority-world social ecologies struggle to facilitate resilience in ways that respect the insights of majority-world youth and their cultural and contextual positioning. Accordingly, this article makes audible, as it were, the voices of 181 rural, Black, South African adolescents with the purpose of explicating which resilience-supporting processes characterize their positive adjustment to disadvantaged life-worlds, and how contextual and cultural realities shape such processes. Deductive and inductive analyses of a narrative and visual data set, generated in the qualitative phase of an explanatory mixed-methods study, revealed that universally occurring resilience-supporting mechanisms inform positive adjustment. Importantly, which mechanisms these youth prioritized, and the form these mechanisms take, are shaped by contextual realities of absent men and commonplace suffering, and a cultural reality of strong women, human and spiritual care,

“…The recent literature on wellbeing presents some cross-cultural studies (Aknin et al, 2013;Kim, Schimmack, & Oishi, 2012;Sarriera et al, 2014), but are mostly carried out with adults, apart from not focusing on personal relationships. It is known that relations with others contribute to mental health, self-esteem, positive behaviour and well-being (Ngai, Cheung, To, Liu, & Song, 2013). Thus, it is important to study personal relationships in Brazil and Spain, countries experiencing different cultures and ways of relating, and to investigate the importance of experienced personal relations for the well-being of children.…”

This study aims to compare personal relationships satisfaction and subjective well-being of Brazilian and Spanish children and to verify if personal relationships are associated with subjective well-being for the sample. Participants are 6,747 children aged from 11 to 14 years old (M = 12.07, DP = 0.731), 1,020 being Brazilian and the others Spanish. From the total sample 50.7% were girls. Results pointed that the items of personal relationships are grouped into three components related to family, school and friends. Spanish children had higher means than Brazilians' in the items of personal relationships and in the subjective well-being scale. There is a significant association between personal relationships and subjective well-being, and the relationships with family, school and friends are predictors of children well-being in both countries. Family relationships are those with the highest contribution to the prediction of child well-being for both countries, followed by relationships at school and with friends. Personal relationships can be considered a predictor of child well-being with approximately 40% of explained variance for both countries.

“…From the literature, a key component of family social capital is related to parent-child relationship in terms of parental supervision of their children"s activities. As mention by Ngai et al (2013), family social capital includes resources, time, effort, and energy parents" investment in safeguarding their children. Even though several global entities has advocated the implementation of legal safeguards designed to limit children"s online disclosure (Miyazaki et al, 2009), the web traffic of young children (ages 3-12) has augmented exponentially in recent years (Weeden et al, 2013), especially in SNS (Bauman & Tatum, 2009) and is questionable the supervision level of this presence.…”
