Dr. Tonglin Jiang received her Bachelor’s Degree from Department of Psychology, Harbin Normal University in 2010. She got her Master Degree from School of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences, Peking University in 2014, and her Ph.D. Degree from Department of Psychology, The University of Hong Kong. She joined the School of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences, Peking University since 2020.
Her research interests lie in uncovering the myth of meaningful existence. To live a meaningful life, people need to know who they are and get the way of promoting authentic living. Thus, my team investigates questions about self-concept, meaning in life, self-related emotions such as awe and nostalgia, psychological well-being, and the antecedent factors and consequences associated with these constructs.
