Description:
The study was designed to investigate the relationships between parenting styles and stress level of 2021 and 2022 Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) candidates under the Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) in Hong Kong. The participants were 73 former HKDSE candidates who participated either in the HKDSE examinations of 2021 or 2022, currently undertaking their tertiary education. A mixed-method study was conducted, where participants were invited to complete an online questionnaire as the quantitative research, stating the parenting styles they have been receiving, their public exams results and stressors encountered when preparing for the examinations. The quantitative study mainly focused on the correlational relationships between the parenting styles and the stress level, especially the coping methods adopted by the participants. In addition to that, a qualitative research was then carried out, where seven semi-structured interviews lasted for fifteen to twenty minutes were organized. The interviews covered the authoritarian, authoritative and permissive parenting styles leading to high stress level of students; and authoritarian, authoritative, permissive and uninvolved parenting styles leading to low stress level of students. Participants of each interview were a pair of student and his/her parents. Results obtained from both the quantitative and qualitative research were further analyzed, where data from questionnaires was converted into statistics for comparisons with the use of SPSS; while qualitative data was transcribed for analysis. This study tends to give an insight into what parenting styles may be more effective to help teenagers, specifically public examinations candidates, alleviate their stress, or overcome uncertainty in Hong Kong under the occurrence of pandemic
