SimulationsSummary of Qualifications
- 1 -
My research productivity (averaging 8 refereed publications per year in the last 5 years,
including 4 SSCI journal articles a year) thrives on a dense network of collaboration that
spans 5 continents. These collaborations are anchored by a central position in the Asian
Association of Social Psychology, where I have been an executive committee member since
inception, serving as treasurer, secretary-general and now editor in chief of its flagship
journal. In my research specialty of inter-group relations and social identity, I recently
mobilized collaborators in 43+ societies to contribute survey data on representations of
world history. This puts me among the rare group of cross-cultural psychologists with the
ability to develop truly global measures of world culture. As an indicator of international peer
esteem, I have recent invited chapters published or pending in the Handbook of Motivation
and Cognition, the Oxford Handbook of Chinese Psychology, and the Sage Handbook of
Qualitative Research.
In my university, I am acknowledged as an outstanding undergraduate teacher and mentor
whose recent PhDs are highly research productive and excellent teachers themselves. I
have been instrumental in establishing the Centre for Applied Cross Cultural Research
(CACR) which is among the ten most visited sites of cross-cultural research according to
Google search from NZ. CACR contributes regularly to national debate regarding issues of
ethnic diversity and social cohesion in New Zealand. The Centre has been successful in
attracting external funding from both international and national sources.

Highlights: I have been a significant contributor to the growth of the Asian Association of Social
Psychology to its current standing as a leading promoter of research in social and crosscultural psychology, serving on its executive committee from 1997 to the present. This
organization has experienced exponential growth, establishing an SSCI journal with impact
ratings comparable to long-established journals, and holding a bi-annual conference that is
attended by leading scholars throughout Asia and other parts of the world. I have served as
informal historian for the organization, authoring many of the accounts of the organization’s
development on the website, and also have co-organized a highly successful recent
conference in Wellington. I was also a successful treasurer, enriching AASP through astute
transactions converting between US and NZ currency during and after the Asian economic
crisis.
