Introduction
Wing S. Wong obtained her doctorate from City University of Hong Kong and completed postdoctoral training at the medical school of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the University of Hong Kong. Currently, she is professor of the Department of Psychology at The Education University of Hong Kong. Her research interests lie in the broad area of adjustment and outcomes of chronic musculoskeletal pain. Her recent projects examine the behavioral and cognitive processes underlying the development and maintenance of chronic pain and pain-associated disability, psychosocial assessment of pain, and cross-cultural comparison on pain behavior and cognition. Other research interests include psychosocial factors associated with co-morbid chronic somatic symptoms and health-related risk perception and decision -making.

Lydia T.S. Yee obtained her Ph.D. from the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and completed her postdoctoral training at the Institute of Cognitive Neurology and Dementia Research in Magdeburg, Germany, before joining HKIEd as an Assistant Professor in 2014. Her research focuses on the cognitive neuroscience of human memory. Specifically, she uses behavioral and brain-imaging techniques (e.g., fMRI) to study declarative memory and its changes across the lifespan. Her current projects include functional interactions between the medial temporal lobe and the frontoparietal network in relational memory under short temporal delays.

Introduction
Dr. Ho is a passionate teacher, youth worker, and researcher, 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 become aware of their need for psychological well-being and how to achieve that.
Her training includes Ed.D. in educational psychology from CUHK specializing in career psychology, B.A. cum laude (Hons) in psychology from UC Berkeley specializing in consumer psychology and judgement and decision making research, M.A. in psychology from Boston University specializing in human motivation with practical training at The Hay Group/McBer & Company, and M.Div. from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, specializing in New England cultural studies and youth ministry.
Relocated back to Hong Kong after 13 years’ studying/working in the US, she began to work at CityU-HK as Demonstrator/Instructor I of Psychology and Learning Enhancement and Course Examiner for Professional Internship, and at CUHK as Part-Time Lecturer (for the PGDE program) and Research Assistant at its Educational Psychology Department, and then as Postdoctoral Fellow at CityU’s City-Youth Empowerment Project, before joining Education University in 2017.
Her eclectic teaching, research, work, life, and educational experiences in the USA and Hong Kong have equipped her with a rather broad knowledge base on many topics in psychology, education, applied research, and practice. Her goal is to develop the field of psychology (especially, career intervention) and launch studies to investigate developmental pathways to vocational interest preferences and sense of efficacy. Her other research interests include service/experiential learning and the relation between diet and well-being.

Introduction
Kammy obtained her psychology academic training in Aston University (U.K.) and had clinical research experiences in local hospitals. In the early stage of research life, she particularly focused on the areas of cognitive impairments in the clinical populations (e.g. HIV/ AIDS, multiple sclerosis, & Parkinson’s disease) and the needs of caregivers with family member suffered from chronic disease. Moving on with valuable opportunities, she has acquired the knowledge and skills of using QEEG in research. Since 2015, she has been fascinated by the concept of self-compassion which has become her strongest research interest nowadays. Her other research interests include spirituality and neuroscience. Besides of doing research, she has also devoted herself to teaching in tertiary education settings for several years. Due to her passion for teaching, she is eager to broaden her horizon to the realm of education with her professional psychology background. Currently, she is doing the Doctor of Education degree in University of Bristol (U.K.). Her motto is “Empowering and Inspiring People around Me”.

Introduction
I completed my doctoral training at Dalhousie University, Vancouver Coastal Health, and the University of British Columbia, Canada, specializing in clinical psychology and clinical neuropsychology. I am a registered clinical psychologist of the Hong Kong Psychological Society and a registered psychologist of British Columbia, Canada. My clinical and research interests include the interaction between sleep and daytime functioning, neuropsychology of medical and psychiatric disorders, and spirituality and mental health. Currently, my primary line of research aims to uncover some of the complex relationships between sleep, emotional and cognitive functioning. I am also actively involved in a series of longitudinal investigations on the various psychosocial factors contributing to the formation and transformation of beliefs in Chinese.

Introduction
My enthusiasm for Psychology could be dated back to when I first took Psychology in my HKALE exam. I have always found it fascinating how people ostensibly “of different kinds” may end up being similarly helpful or sinister, thanks to perceived or salient social influence. After obtaining my first degree in Psychology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, I pursued postgraduate training in the United Kingdom. Following the completion of my MRes Psychology at the University of Manchester, I embarked on my PhD at the University Nottingham while primarily examining the relationship between gratitude and prosociality (or sanctioning) in a behavioral economics context.
Prior to joining EdUHK, I undertook multiple teaching assignments (both local and overseas) during my nearly two-year stint with the Department of Applied Social Sciences of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I was also actively engaged in the administration and subsequent analyses of a large-scale cross-institution scale validation project involving 8 UGC-funded universities in 2017.
My research interests mainly focus on two related areas. First, I am interested in the assessment of prosocial or cooperative behaviors with the utilization of economic games. I am also interested in the role of emotions, particularly gratitude, combined with other situational factors in contributing to people’s willingness to cooperate. My research repertoire was, thanks to the participation in the aforementioned validation project, expanded to include also scale validation.

Introduction
Kai Tak Poon obtained his doctorate degree from the University of Hong Kong. His primary research focuses on interpersonal relationships and processes, with an emphasis on the cognitive, emotional, behavioral impacts of ostracism and social rejection. Specifically, he examines when and why ostracism promotes anti-social behaviors (e.g. aggression and dishonesty), and examines how to help people better cope with the pain of ostracism. He also investigates the psychological impacts of sexual objectification and money.

Introduction
I completed my PhD and a one-year postdoctoral training at Lancaster University, UK, in 2010. Before joining the Education University of Hong Kong, I was a research scientist in the Department of Psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, US. My program of research focuses on identifying the cognitive factors that influence individual and group problem solving, particularly for problems requiring creativity and innovation. I also examine how solutions to these problems can be facilitated through the use of different approaches, e.g., incubation, sleep, and task-switching. To address my research questions, I conduct both behavioral studies and meta-analytic reviews.

Introduction
Before joining EdUHK, I’ve taught in a local secondary school and a college in Macau. While I like teaching, the pursuit of knowledge is equally attractive. So I left Hong Kong for Germany for my doctoral study. The experience there has greatly deepened my interest in cross-cultural psychology and I have done cross-cultural research in achievement motivation, self-construal and self-concept. More recently, my research interest has turned to education-related concepts including epistemological beliefs, conceptions of teaching and learning, teaching motivations, teachers’ professional competence and professional learning in initial teacher education.
