Research

My primary interest revolves around assisting individuals in developing resilience. When confronted with adversity, certain individuals emerge stronger, displaying a profound appreciation for life and a commitment to personal growth and the betterment of others. I am intrigued by the factors that distinguish these individuals from the rest and aim to elucidate their unique personal characteristics. Ultimately, my objective is to identify these characteristics and explore how they can be fostered in individuals through psychological interventions. I have been particularly interested in the positive qualities and skills of mindfulness and compassion, which play a crucial role in promoting resilience.

I have a keen interest in exploring the integration of technology in counseling and psychotherapy. We are now witnessing the permeation of online technology into traditionally conservative areas, including counseling and psychotherapy. This is an exhilarating period for counseling psychology, and it presents a compelling impetus for redefining psychotherapy services in a more adaptable manner. From online counseling platforms and apps to artificial intelligence, I have been interested in testing the applicability and effectiveness of technology-mediated tools in counseling.

I am enthusiastic about the application of a big-data perspective and analyses in counseling and psychotherapy. With the expanding body of empirical research, often accompanied by conflicting and inconsistent findings, it is essential to leverage big data analyses to gain deeper insights into the advancements of our field. This interest has motivated me to conduct various meta-analyses and topic modeling analyses on perfectionism and self-compassion. I firmly believe that the integration of big-data perspectives and analyses holds immense potential for enhancing the counseling psychology discipline.
