Research Areas
Student development in a multicultural context, including backgrounds, interests, and challenges. Specifically, under multicultural settings, I have studied: (a) college admission, (b) academic performance and student retention, and (c) career development.
Research Description
My research focuses on student development in a multicultural context.
1. College Admission: The non-cognitive model explaining college admission.
2. Academic Performance and Student Retention: Issues related to academic performance and student retention including characteristics, interests, and challenges. Also, I developed new counseling strategies from non-cognitive dimension for enhancing academic performance and student retention.
3. Career Development: I am interested in Holland’s theory and have studied its applications in Chinese culture. I co-developed the Chinese Career Key Website, which is widely used in Hong Kong and China.
