Abstract

The present study investigates the effects of parents’ religious involvement on their psychological health, family functioning and development of their children from a Chinese sample of parent–child pairs in Hong Kong. Results support the beneficial effects of religious involvement on effective parenting and favorable outcomes of their children, which have been well reported in western studies. Besides, this investigation finds that (1) parental psychological health is a mediator between their religious involvement and positive family processes; (2) family processes is an important family socialization factor with spill-over effects into the function of parenting; (3) different family socialization factors have different effects on child outcomes; (4) parental positive religious coping is a function of their intrinsic religiosity; and (5) both parental religious coping and their intrinsic religiosity have a protective effect on parental psychological difficulties, with the former having robust direct effects on positive family processes and effective parenting, and (6) both intrinsic religiosity and positive religious coping in parents show significant total indirect effects on respective child outcomes through parental psychological and family socialization factors. Implications and directions for further study are also discussed.

Hong Kong is geographically divided into three main regions, namely Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories. In considering the voluntary basis of participation in this study and to enhance the representativeness of the sample, we had tried serious effort to invite churches of different geographical places to take part in the study. Consequently, 16 churches locating in the Hong Kong Island, 13 in Kowloon, and 14 in the New Territories (totally 43 churches) agreed to help promote the study and recruit the parent and child participants.
