TRUST & TECHNOLOGY
We are living in an environment that are filled with social uncertainties. Trust is a cognitive leap that individuals take to deal with the uncertainties. My research tries to understand how individuals develop this cognitive leap. I am particularly interested in how individuals develop trust with technology, such as AI and machine. |
CULTURE
My research takes a socio-ecological approach to understand the cultural differences by looking at the roles of socio-ecological factors (e.g. residential mobility, relational mobility, walkability) in creating cultures. I am particularly interested in how culture influences the way that individuals perceive and construct their relations with people and machine. |
SOCIAL NETWORKS
Social networks, to some extent, is mentally construed. How do people mentally construct their social worlds (i.e. their social network) according to various individual and situational factors (e.g. gender, status, foreign environment) and how does that contribute to inequality? |
