 Welcome to the ACE (Adaptation and Characeter development and Emotion regulation) Laboratory. As part of the clinical psychology division in the Department of Psychology, Kyungsung University, our laboratory focuses on understanding how biological and psychosocial factors interact with psychological disorders and problem behaviors. Character development from the perspective of Dr. Cloninger's personality (temperament and character) contributing to psychosocial adjustment and well-being across the lifespan is one area of investigation. With relation to this research domain, our lab also investigates the interaction of parenting and maturity, and child's temperament in accounting for behavior problems in childhood and adolescence from a transactional model of developmental psychopathology standpoint. 

Another broad area of interest focuses on examining the role of emotion regulation in psychological conditions such as burnout, suicide, chronotype (sleep), post traumatic growth, and healthy perfectionism as well as psychological disorders such as depression, social anxiety, PTSD, and addiction across the lifespan. Within this research subjects, CBT and the 3rd wave CBT (e.g., MBCT, ACT, etc.) are encouraged to be cultivated as one of the appropriate psychotherpapies. In addition, our lab also emphasizes the study of the Sasang Personality in collaboration with Dr. Chae in the School of Korean Medicine, Pusan National University.
