Abstract:
The present study investigates participating parents’ perception of the
effectiveness of the components of a parenting programme aimed at reducing
parent-adolescent conflicts in Hong Kong. Sixty-five parents of adolescents completed
a four-week parenting programme of two hours per week. They responded
to a questionnaire concerning the usefulness of the components of the programme.
After responding to the questionnaire, they were invited to attend a semi-structured
interview to express their views on the components of the programme. The
result indicates that participants found self-reflection, discussion among participants
and listening to facilitators’ advice to be the three most important components
of the programme. They also benefited from learning communication
skills and more about adolescents’ development. Nevertheless, the granting of
autonomy and conflict resolution skills were not totally acceptable to Chinese
parents. The present study indicates culturally sensitive components of parenting
programmes for Chinese in Hong Kong.
