| Annotation | The Hong Kong Chinese Everyday Competence Scale has been developed based on six major daily activities - shopping, transport, symbols used in daily life, using electrical appliances, consulting doctors, and financial management - within the Hong Kong context, with six items for each aspect of these activities which are relevant to Hong Kong society. In this study, the Scale was completed by 204 people aged 60+ attending social centres for older people in Hong Kong. The Scale's reliability (internal consistency) was found to be excellent. Concurrent validity was established by strong correlations with the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire. Moreover, significant association were found between the Scale and three tests of Primary Mental Abilities (number skill, spatial relations, and inductive reasoning). (RH). |
