  • Economic Pressure and Loneliness in Migrant Children in China: The Mediating Roles of Parent–Child Communication and Parental Warmth
    Child Psychiatry & Human Development, 2019
    Co-Authors: Liuhua Ying, Xin Shen, Xuji Jia, Qing Yan, Chongde Lin
    Abstract:

    The purpose of the current study was to examine the mediating roles of parent–child Communication and parental warmth in the relationship between economic pressure and loneliness in a sample of migrant children in China. A total of 437 participants were selected from two public schools for migrant children in Zhejiang Province, China. All participants were asked to complete four measures, including the Perceived Economic Strain Scale, the Parent–Child Communication Questionnaire, the Parental Warmth Scale, and the Children’s Loneliness Scale. The results showed that economic pressure was positively and directly related to loneliness. Furthermore, parent–child Communication and parental warmth partially mediated the relationship between economic pressure and loneliness in migrant children. Thus, parent–child Communication and parental warmth play important roles in reducing the negative effect of economic pressure on loneliness in migrant children.

  • Parent-Child Communication and self-esteem mediate the relationship between interparental conflict and children's depressive symptoms.
    Child: care health and development, 2018
    Co-Authors: Liuhua Ying, Xuji Jia, Huayi Zhou, Chuansheng Chen, Yanli Wang, Chongde Lin
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND Previous research has paid little attention to the series mediating effect of Parent-Child Communication and self-esteem in the relationship between interparental conflict and child outcomes, although several other mechanisms have been found to involve in this relationship. Thus, the purpose of the present study is to test these two factors' serial mediation of the relationship between interparental conflict and children's depressive symptoms in a sample of migrant children in China. METHODS Four hundred thirty-seven participants from two public schools for migrant children in Zhejiang Province, China, were administered four measures including the Children's Perceptions of Interparental Conflict Scale, the Parent-Child Communication Questionnaire, the Global Self-esteem Scale, and the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale for Children. RESULTS Results showed that interparental conflict was positively related to depressive symptoms in migrant children, which was partially and serially mediated by Parent-Child Communication and self-esteem in that order. CONCLUSIONS Parent-Child Communication and self-esteem play potential roles in the relationship between interparental conflict and depressive symptoms of migrant children in China. This finding has important implications for psychological service providers working with this group of children or children in similar situations.

  • Latino and European American early adolescents' exposure to music with substance-use references: examining Parent-Child Communication as a moderator.
    Journal of adolescence, 2014
    Co-Authors: Jennifer A. Kam, Ningxin Wang, Jessica Harvey
    Abstract:

    Abstract This study hypothesized that frequent exposure to and attention to music with substance-use references would be indirectly related to alcohol, cigarette, or marijuana use through pro-substance-use beliefs (e.g., norms, outcome expectancies, and refusal efficacy). Parent–child Communication, however, would attenuate such associations, which would differ by ethnicity. Multigroup mediation and moderation analyses were conducted, using cross-sectional survey data from 253 Latino and 308 European American 6th–8th grades students. For Latino and European American early adolescents, best-friend-injunctive norms and weak refusal efficacy were significant mediators, but not positive outcome expectancies. Descriptive norms were a significant mediator, but only for European American early adolescents. Although targeted parent–child Communication and parental mediation did not moderate the associations between the music-exposure variables and the pro-substance-use beliefs variables, targeted parent–child Communication attenuated the association between listening to favorite songs and alcohol consumption. Parental mediation attenuated the association between attention to music and alcohol consumption.

  • Explicating how Parent-Child Communication increases Latino and European American early adolescents' intentions to intervene in a friend's substance Use.
    Prevention science : the official journal of the Society for Prevention Research, 2013
    Co-Authors: Jennifer A. Kam, Sijia Yang
    Abstract:

    This study used primary socialization theory and a focus theory of normative conduct to examine whether anti-substance-use norms mediated targeted parent–child Communication against substance (alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana) use’s effects on Latino and European American early adolescents’ intentions to intervene in a friend’s substance use. Further, this study investigated whether familism interacted with targeted parent–child Communication to predict anti-substance-use norms, and whether this mediated moderation model functioned differently for Latino and European American early adolescents. Self-reported longitudinal survey data were collected from 6th-8th grade students (N = 627), attending rural IL public schools. Multigroup mediated moderation analyses revealed that as Latino and European American early adolescents engaged in targeted mother–child Communication against substance use, they were more likely to develop anti-substance-use parent injunctive norms, and in turn, more likely to report anti-substance-use personal norms. Thus, they were more likely to report that if their friend used substances, they would talk to their friend, seek help from others, and end the friendship. They were, however, less likely to ignore the friend’s substance use. Familism was not a significant moderator, and the hypothesized effects did not differ for Latino and European American early adolescents. The results suggest that parents of Latino and European American adolescents may discourage substance use by engaging in targeted parent–child Communication, which may indirectly benefit their children’s friends, as well.

  • Encouraging Mexican-Heritage Youth to Intervene When Friends Drink The Role of Targeted Parent-Child Communication Against Alcohol
    Communication Research, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jennifer A. Kam, Bridget Potocki, Michael L. Hecht
    Abstract:

    Drawing from primary socialization theory, we hypothesized that as Mexican-heritage youth engage in targeted Parent-Child Communication against alcohol, they are more likely to disapprove of and consider the negative consequences of drinking alcohol. In turn, such antialcohol perceptions are likely to encourage them to intervene if a friend was to drink alcohol. The analyses were based on self-reported longitudinal data from 1,149 Mexican-heritage youth in sixth to eighth grades (M = 12 years, SD = .61). As males and females engaged in targeted Parent-Child Communication against alcohol, they were more likely to consider the negative consequences of alcohol consumption. Consequently, they reported that they would be more likely to intervene by talking to the friend or an adult. Disapproving of alcohol consumption played a minor role for male and female Mexican-heritage youth.

  • More Than Just Openness: Developing and Validating a Measure of Targeted Parent–Child Communication About Alcohol
    Health communication, 2010
    Co-Authors: Michelle Miller-day, Jennifer A. Kam
    Abstract:

    Research addressing Parent-Child Communication on the topic of alcohol use relies heavily on assessing frequency of discussions and general assessments of openness in Parent-Child Communication, ignoring the complexity of this Communication phenomenon. This study adds to the literature by articulating a conceptualization and developing a measurement of Parent-Child Communication-targeted Parent-Child Communication about alcohol-and comparing the efficacy of targeted Parent-Child Communication about alcohol in predicting positive expectancies of alcohol use and recent alcohol use. The predictive power of general openness in Parent-Child Communication and frequency of Communication about alcohol also were assessed. Students in fifth and sixth grade (N = 1,407) from 29 public schools completed surveys. Targeted Parent-Child Communication about alcohol was negatively associated with both outcomes. Frequency and general openness were only negatively associated with positive expectancies regarding alcohol. Implications of these findings for the etiology and prevention of substance use are discussed.

  • Ear for recovery: protocol for a prospective study on parent–child Communication and psychological recovery after paediatric injury
    BMJ open, 2015
    Co-Authors: Eva Alisic, Anna Barrett, Peter V Bowles, Franz E Babl, Rowena Conroy, Roderick John Mcclure, Vicki Anderson, Matthias R. Mehl
    Abstract:

    Introduction: One in six children who have been admitted to hospital with an injury develop persistent stress symptoms that put their development at risk. Parents play a crucial role in children’s psychological recovery, however, it is unknown how specific parenting behaviours can help or hinder. We aim to describe the nature and quantity of parent–child Communication after a child has been injured, and to examine how these interactions are related to children’s psychological recovery. Methods and analysis: We are conducting a prospective observational study among children aged 3–16 years, who have been admitted to a tertiary children’s hospital with a serious injury. Data collection involves a naturalistic observation of spontaneous, everyday parent–child Communication at home, shortly after discharge, and an assessment of children’s psychological recovery at 6 weeks and 3 months postinjury. Main analyses comprise descriptive statistics, cluster analysis and analyses of variance. Ethics and dissemination: This study has been approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne (33103) and Monash University Human Research Ethics Committee (CF13/2515—2013001322). We aim to disseminate the findings through international peer-reviewed journals, international conferences and social media. Participants will be sent a summary of the overall study findings.
