I am a cultural psychologist and assistant professor at Southwest Jiaotong University, committed to building bridges between Chinese cultural wisdom and psychological science. My research explores how psychological needs, motivation, and cultural values—particularly Confucian and Taoist orientations—shape human development and well-being. I aim to construct testable, integrable, and applicable theoretical systems that speak to both the paradigmatic crises of psychology and the practical challenges facing individuals in a rapidly changing, digitally connected world. Research Areas • Core Themes: Psychological need satisfaction and frustration, motivation, prosocial behavior, well-being, cultural psychology • Original Theories & Constructs: 1. Confucian Effortful Action vs. Taoist Effortless Action Values — A cultural-psychological framework for understanding "Neijuan" (involution) and "Tangping" (lying flat). 2. Historical Psychological Need Satisfaction Model (HPNSM) — A new theory of how individuals derive psychological need satisfaction from historical and collective memory, extending SDT beyond its "here-and-now" focus. 3. Compulsory Connectivity (CCPAM) — The psychological state of maintaining continuous social connection under involuntary, external pressure in the digital age. 4. The Fourth Psychology — A meta-framework addressing psychology's paradigmatic crisis between natural-science and humanistic-science approaches.
