Introducing the WhatIsAGoodMother_Project Channel (WIAGM Channel), Season 1 — by Dr. K. Ho

Hi! This is Dr. Katty (“Katy”) Ho. I earned my Ed.D. in Educational Psychology from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, my M.Div. from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, my M.A. in Psychology from Boston University, and my B.A. cum laude (Hons) in Psychology from The University of California at Berkeley. I have been in the field of psychology in the past 30 years with 13 years of experience working as Lecturer of Psychology to undergraduates and post-graduates in Hong Kong (at CityUHK, CUHK, EdUHK) and 10 years of extensive research and project experiences in the USA and HK (CLAP@JC-Schools, CUHK, CityUHK, Vision New England, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, McBer & Company/The HayGroup, UC Berkeley, etc.). My WhatIsAGoodMother_Project Channel aims to provide psychoeducation on Parenting Research to clients, students, professionals, and general readers and viewers anywhere in the world.

Parenting Style (emotional attitude) is the building block to one’s psychological well-being and one’s development of mental-personality-interpersonal-marital-health problems and disorders. Better knowledge and understanding of the critical parent-child processes can help you learn how to prevent the development of those problems in your family, as well as enhance functioning in the family.

In Season 1, we have made two types of videos to achieve these goals: Theoretical (Literature Review) PRESENTATIONS and COMMENTARIES.

What is included in our Theoretical (Literature Review) PRESENTATION? In our WIAGM Channel’s Season 1 (2025/26), I authored and created the scripts and PowerPoint slides, as well as edited all the videos and subtitles (Ho & Chu, 2025, August 5; 2025, August 14; 2025, November 3; 2025, December 16). My scripts and PowerPoint slides provide background information of the research literature (theory), method, and findings of the original authors’ work that we reviewed. Then, I invited Genie Chu, my Undergraduate Research Apprentice, who is a Psychology and Philosophy student at the University of Sydney, to recite the scripts and presented the materials with me. She is my faithful collaborator!

The three theoretical/empirical studies that we reviewed in Season 1 were Darling & Steinberg (1993) on the definition of Parenting Style as Context (Parenting Style), Garcia & Serra (2019) on the short/long-term effects of Parenting Style on adolescent and adult child’s psychosocial-emotional outcomes (Parenting Style Effects) , and Rohner (2021) on his comprehensive Interpersonal Acceptance-Rejection Theory that comes with the Personality Subtheory (Parental Coldness Effects), Coping Subtheory, and Sociocultural Systems and Model Subtheory (Rejection Copers-Systems).

What is a COMMENTARY? Our WIAGM Channel COMMENTARIES were spontaneous conversations/discussions between me and Genie on the specific topics under scrutiny. In each of those COMMENTARY episodes, Genie raised some thoughtful questions and I responded to the questions using the theories and research that we reviewed in our previous episode(s). I also added more illustrations and/or clips to enrich our contents and enhance viewers’ understanding of the life applications. Season 1’s four COMMENTARIES were Episode 3 on “Parenting Style,” Episode 4 on “Parenting Style Effects,” Episode 7 on “Parental Coldness Effects,” and “Rejection Copers-Systems.” To honor Genie’s leadership, I placed her as first author of Season 1’s COMMENTARIES.

I hope that you will enjoy learning with us through these videos, each had been crafted with care by myself using traditional human annotation method with my own brain and hands (no A.I. tools or ChatGPT have been used–in fact, I don’t have ChatGPT on my computer), zoom recording, traditional PowerPoint slides making, and the CapCut video-editing software. I hope you will appreciate our joy in presenting and discussing these serious topics, in order that you will also learn about these critical theories/research and apply them in your life!

Please leave us your constructive comments on our videos! We’ll appreciate your feedback greatly!
