This article reports the results of a telephone survey (n = 1002) conducted in November 2008,which aimed to identify parenting stress and perceived family functioning of Chinese parents inHong Kong; to explore the effects of the parents’ socio-demographic characteristics (gender, familyincome, education and family structure) on the aforementioned stress and functioning variables;and to examine the interrelationship among these characteristics and the two variables in question. Results showed that the reported parenting stress was at average level, while the perceived familyfunctioning was slightly below average. The results also indicated that the parenting stress of mothers,single parents, the low-income and the less-educated was higher than that of fathers, parents ofnuclear and extended families, the high-income and the better-educated. Socio-demographic characteristicsexcept the parent’s gender had similar effects on perceived family functioning. Higherparenting stress was associated with lower family functioning, and explained a larger variancein the perceived family functioning than the socio-demographic characteristics taken alone. The results of the study have provided empirical support regarding the interrelationships amongthe vulnerable groups in society, parenting stress and perceived family functioning. Implicationsof the study for social work practice are discussed.

We report the results of a telephone survey conducted in 2008 in Hong Kong, which aimed to identifyChinese parents’ parental warmth and parental control (guan) and to explore their relationshipwith the sociodemographic characteristics of the parents. The respondents perceived themselves tobe warm (mean = 3.44) and educating their child (mean = 3.46). The results of multiple regressionanalysis showed that the five sociodemographic characteristics explained 15.8% and 8.2% of thevariance in parental warmth and guan respectively. The mothers were warmer than the fathers; parentswith higher monthly household income, higher educational attainment and with their smallestchild young in age were warmer than parents of lower household income, lower educational attainmentand with their smallest child older in age. However, parental guan did not vary among the fivesociodemographic characteristics except educational attainment. Implications of the study forsocial work practice are discussed.

Although enhancing family functioning has become a rising concern of social workers in Chinesecontexts such as Hong Kong, little has been known on perceived family functioning and familyresources. To fill in this knowledge gap, this article reports part of the results of a telephone surveyconducted in Hong Kong, aiming to identify the sex differences in these two areas. The results ofthe study have shown that Chinese women perceived better affective involvement, one of the crucialindicators of family functioning, than Chinese men. However, among the different familyresources, men rated better physical and mental well-being whereas women’s social connection wasstronger than men’s. Further analysis have shown that the linkage of three family resources(namely stress coping efficacy, time spent with family and income) to perceived family functioningwas statistically significant irrespective of genders. Implications of this study for social work practiceare discussed at the end of the article.
