  #suicide prevention #intensive longitudinal data #evidence-based intervention

Chunghu began his studies in clinical psychology with a deep commitment to understanding the psychological mechanisms underlying suicide and self-injury. By utilizing time-series data, he aims to capture the dynamic, temporal fluctuations of suicide-related behaviors in real-time. Building upon this foundation, his long-term goal is to establish and evaluate evidence-based protocols for effective crisis intervention for suicide and self-injury.

#midlife crisis #men in midlife #depression #stress #stress coping #flexibility #intervention

Jisun is interested in understanding the process of midlife crisis and adaptation, especially among middle-aged men. Her current research uses qualitative methods to explore how middle-aged men experience, interpret, and navigate the challenges of midlife crisis. Ultimately, she aims to develop a process-based model, create a corresponding assessment scale, and contribute to the development of targeted interventions.

#mood and anxiety disorders #emotion regulation #personality 

Yejin is interested in individuals with anxiety and depression who struggle with regulating their emotional responses. She is particularly drawn to examining underlying cognitive-emotion interactions that undermine self-regulation and how these processes unfold in ecologically valid contexts. More broadly, she is interested in how these processes relate to an individual’s self-concept. In her free time, she enjoys both watching (e.g., tennis, baseball) and playing sports (e.g., yoga, swimming).

#emotion regulation #emotion beliefs #evidence-based intervention #psychological distress

Juri’s academic focus lies in exploring how emotion beliefs shape emotion regulation and psychological well-being. Drawing on her long clinical experience, her work refines models of emotion regulation and develops evidence-based interventions that bridge research and psychotherapy, aiming to reduce psychological distress and extend their impact beyond clinical settings to community contexts.

#digital mental health #AI-augmented therapy #psychological intervention #scalability #accessibility #early detection

Chungnyeong's research lies at the intersection of clinical psychology and emerging technologies, exploring how digital innovations can revolutionize mental healthcare delivery and accessibility. He is focused on developing scalable, evidence-based therapeutic interventions through AI-augmented tools that can detect early warning signs of psychological distress and provide personalized support. Chungnyeong aims to challenge the limitations of current mental health delivery systems by reimagining how technology can extend the reach of psychological interventions while maintaining a human-centered approach.

#emotional regulation #mood disorder #discrimination and social isolation #self-injurious behavior

Junwoo is curious about humans’ ability to regulate emotions and how difficulties in emotional regulation can deteriorate into mood disorders. He is also interested in how discrimination and social isolation within a community may affect mental health on an individual level. Outside of school, Junwoo spends most of his exercise time playing golf—because GOLF IS LIFE.

#emotion regulation #NSSI #suicidality #pain tolerance #distress resilience

Sun Kyung is interested in studying the distinct risk and protective factors of NSSI and suicidality, as well as improving the understanding of the underlying emotion regulation mechanisms in these vulnerable populations. Her goal is to apply these findings to develop effective early and post-intervention strategies that consider individual clinical characteristics.

#emotional clarity #emotion regulation flexibility #mindfulness #evidence-based intervention

Sohee is interested in how individuals make sense of their emotional experiences, and how emotional clarity relates to emotion regulation. Building on this interest, she explores emotion regulation flexibility and the role of mindfulness in fostering adaptive engagement with emotions. She hopes to contribute to evidence-based interventions that support emotionally grounded lives. Beyond her research, she enjoys pencil sketching human faces and spending time with friends.

#anhedonia #depression #reward processing #positive affect restoration #positive valence systems

Sangjun investigates how disruptions in reward processing contribute to the development and maintenance of anhedonia and depression, with a particular focus on the mechanisms underlying the restoration of positive affect. His research aims to identify the cognitive, behavioral, and neural processes involved in reward-based emotional recovery and translate these insights into clinical applications. Ultimately, he seeks to develop culturally adapted, transdiagnostic interventions targeting reward mechanisms to promote sustainable emotional well-being and life satisfaction within Korean populations.

#emotion regulation #child and adolescent disorders # social determinants of mental health

Daeun is an undergraduate student majoring in Psychology. She is beginning to explore how emotion regulation functions in mental disorders, especially in relation to internalizing and externalizing problems across development. She is also interested in the social determinants of mental health. Guided by this perspective, she hopes to one day design school-based interventions that help foster emotion regulation for all.
