PROFILE

I am a passionate psychologist, educator, counselor, researcher, and data analyst, who is eager to not only teach undergraduate and postgraduate students about the discipline of psychology but also reach out to teenagers, parents, and the general public, such that more people can be aware of their need for psychological well-being and how to achieve that. My eclectic teaching, research, work, life, and educational experiences in the USA and Hong Kong have equipped me with a rather broad knowledge base and teaching experiences on many topics in psychology, education, applied research, and practice, particularly in the field of career and developmental psychology and the psychology of teaching and learning. After giving birth to my son (b. 2007), I chose to raise him as a full-time mother for some periods of time during my doctoral study and engagement in volunteer/part-time/full-time research and teaching work. Besides teaching and counseling, my career objective is to design research projects (e.g., literature review and empirical study) to investigate parenting effects on various kinds of short-term and long-term child and adult outcomes and promote its implications and applications. I am particularly interested in creating educational information on effective parenting style/methods toward helping clients and students understand the psychology of development and the powerful influence of context (e.g., family) on human behavior.

DOCTORAL COURSEWORK (IN HONG KONG, S.A.R.)

The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong, S.A.R.), Faculty of Education, Department of Educational Psychology; Doctor of Education in Educational Psychology, 2008-2015
Doctoral Guided Research (Prof. S. Alvin Leung): I investigated a structural equation model (SEM) of vocational interest and self-efficacy profile characteristics (known as “secondary constructs” in Holland, 1985, 1997; or simply as “profile” in Tracey, 2002b) in predicting career choice readiness and status in adolescents. Four interest/self-efficacy profile characteristic predictors tested were interest differentiation, interest/self-efficacy congruence (or discrepancy), interest elevation, and self-efficacy elevation—measured by the administration of the Personal Globe Inventory-Activity version (PGI-A; Tracey, 2002b). Previous research on the effect of interest differentiation on career outcome has been equivocal. The effect of interest/self-efficacy congruence (or discrepancy) has been under-researched despite the identification of “internal conflicts” as an indicator of decision difficulties. My study used both Holland-based and Tracey-based indexes for measuring interest differentiation and interest/self-efficacy congruence (or discrepancy) to evaluate their differential effects. Self-efficacy elevation was tested the first time in research to parallel the measure of interest elevation, providing a test of the social cognitive career theory. In constructing a career choice process-status model based on Albion & Fogarty’s (2002) method, a career choice readiness measurement model by Dybwad (2008) on adolescent career decision making was adopted. This study offers empirical evidence toward theoretical integration and practical applications toward improvement on inventoried interest/self-efficacy profile interpretation, particularly for Hong Kong high school students in their specific educational context. Future research and limitations were also discussed. (https://repository.lib.cuhk.edu.hk/en/item/cuhk-1291759)	Spring 2014-Fall 2015
