This paper attempts to examine methodological issues pertinent to parenting research in Hong Kong. Using 90 studies indexed in the PsycINFO database, eight methodological limitations of parenting research in Hong Kong are highlighted. The limitations include over-reliance on non-locally validated translated measurements, lack of longitudinal studies, infrequent utilization of perspectives based on multiple informants, lack of usage of multiple indicators of different parenting processes, infrequent use of advanced statistical data analysis methods, underuse of linear mixed method analyses, predominance of convenience sampling, and lack of qualitative studies. Future research directions with reference to these methodological limitations are discussed.
本文试图探讨与香港育儿研究相关的方法学问题。通过对PsycINFO数据库中索引的90项研究进行分析，突出了香港育儿研究的八个方法学局限性。这些局限性包括过度依赖未经本地验证的翻译测量工具、缺乏纵向研究、很少采用基于多信息提供者的视角、未使用不同育儿过程的多个指标、很少使用先进的统计数据分析方法、线性混合方法分析使用不足、便利抽样占主导以及缺乏定性研究。文中还讨论了针对这些方法学局限性的未来研究方向。
