The rapid social change in the East Asia has brought great research
attention on the family, education and political impacts. The
growth trajectory of the next generation is exposed to an entirely
different context owing to the dual effects of traditional and
modern values as well as practices. This book provides an overall
picture of the developmental trajectory of Taiwanese youth as a
typical example in the region. The time frame is set from early
adolescence (13years old) to young adulthood (22yeard old).
Individual psychological well-being in its broad definition will be
used as the outcome indicator to reflect significant developmental
processes during this important transitional life course.
Benefitted from the rare panel datasets conducted from 2000-2009,
this book has two major focuses: one is to explore the interplay
among family, school and community with regard to their influence
on the individual growth patterns; the other is to highlight the
potential constraint and/or strength of the prevailing social norms
and values shared among East Asian societies. To be specific,
different chapters will describe and analyze the life chances and
growth patterns among youth with different social capitals
(including family SES, educational achievement, rural-urban
residence, etc.). Their short-term versus long-term outcome, as
indicated by various psychological well-being variables (e.g.,
depressive symptoms, deviant or problem behaviors, happiness,
edutional performance), will allow us to delineate the particular
structural context that individual East Asian youth encounters and
to offer constructive suggestions on family interaction,
educational strategy as well as health related policies based on
the scientific evidence. This book incorporates comparative reports
from other East Asian societies, and from youth panel studies of
Australia and the U.S.. The experience of their counter-part in the
advanced societies will contribute to readers' understanding of the
particular social situation that East Asian youth is embedded in
the growth process. In addition, comparative perspective will
enable the reader to contemplate on the potential future
development of the affluent generation in the region. Since
changing social structure occurred in the last few decades in the
East Asia has suffered inadequate investigation in the realm of
family, education and community, this book provides timely
information to fill up the gap. Analyses of the valuable dataset
from early adolescents to young adults will attract those who are
interested in family researches, in youth studies, in panel data
analyses, as well as in the social development in Taiwan and in
East Asia.
