Title: | The occurrence and co-occurrence of harsh parenting and family conflict in Hong Kong | Authors: | Chen, Q Lo, CKM Chen, M Chan, KL Ip, P |
Issue Date: | Dec-2022 | Source: | International journal of environmental research and public health, Dec. 2022, v. 19, no. 23, 16199 | Abstract: | The violation of children’s right to a safe home environment is a major public health problem in need of serious attention. Evidence has been limited about the family characteristics that go with the co-occurrence of harsh parenting and family conflict. By using a representative community sample of Hong Kong families, this study aims to examine the prevalence and risk factors of harsh parenting and family conflict. This study was conducted using a secondary analysis obtained from the 2017 Hong Kong Family Survey with a sample size of 1926 respondents who have children. Results showed that participants’ ages are negatively related to the occurrence and co-occurrence of harsh parenting and/or family conflict. Married mothers reported less family conflict. Fathers with lower education levels reported more experiences of family violence. Mothers reporting a higher level of family satisfaction were less associated with harsh parenting. This study provides insights into the unique and shared familial elements that prevent harsh parenting and family conflict and help facilitate the development of effective intervention strategies for family violence co-occurrence. Family-based prevention for family violence may screen for the presence of harsh parenting and family conflict and take into consideration these signals to better support families in need. | Keywords: | Harsh parenting Family conflict Co-occurrence Family satisfaction Hong Kong |
