Self-Help Group Participation and Empowerment in Hong Kong

摘要:

This paper reports on the first comprehensive study of self-help groups in Hong Kong. Initial findings from the quantative & qualitative data suggest that self-help group participation has an impact on intrapersonal, interpersonal, & community/political empowerment. Based on existing data, this study has resulted in the development of a hypothetical model encompassing the interrelationships among self-help group participation, social support, social learning, leadership, & empowerment, for testing in future research. 42 References.
