This research is proposed to examine Chinese family vacations in the single child policy context. Family vacations are considered to play a beneficial role in strengthening family functioning as well as improving individual’s wellbeing. However, extant understandings of family vacations are limited due to the absence of voices from non-Western cultures. Based on a post-positivist orientation, this study will conduct an empirical study in three major cities in Mainland China. Using middle school students as the sample of Chinese single children, this study intends to describe representations of Chinese single children’s family vacations; to evaluate single children’s perceptions of the quality of their family vacation experiences; and to examine the influence of family vacation (i.e., family interaction, quality of experiences) on Chinese single children’s subjective wellbeing.
