AB  - STUDY OBJECTIVE: We sought to study the prevalence of the compensated dating (CD) 
      phenomenon among early adolescents in Hong Kong and to identify psychosocial 
      correlates of CD, particularly basic demographic factors, positive youth 
      development (PYD) qualities, and perceived family functioning. DESIGN AND 
      PARTICIPANTS: In 2010, during the Wave 2 data collection of a 6-year longitudinal 
      study on PYD in Hong Kong, 3,638 Grade 8 students were surveyed. RESULTS: (a) For 
      prevalence rate of CD, less than 3% of the respondents had ever engaged in CD; 
      (b) Males reported a higher percentage of CD than females did; (c) Different 
      measures of PYD and perceived family functioning were negatively related to 
      adolescents' CD behavior; (d) Higher levels of PYD and better mutual support, 
      love, and concern among family members were related to a lower level of CD; and 
      (e) A mild relationship was found between CD and substance abuse. CONCLUSIONS: 
      Although the prevalence rate of CD was not high, it was alarming. CD was related 
      to other forms of risky behavior. Higher levels of PYD and better family 
      functioning were negatively related to CD.
