| Abstract: | We examined the role of paternal support in the relation between academic stress and the mental health of primary school children
in Hong Kong. The participants of this cross-sectional study were 1,171 fifth and sixth graders. The results indicated that
academic stress was a risk factor that heightened student anxiety levels and that parental emotional support was a protective
factor that contributed to better mental health among children. However, paternal informational support delivered to children
during times of high academic stress appeared to heighten student anxiety levels. The practical implications of the findings
on parent education are discussed. |
