The Department of Child Psychology and Education (Chair: Professor Taekyoung Lee) is demonstrating its global research competitiveness through the publication of three SSCI-indexed international journal articles and the overseas advancement of BK-participating graduate students. In particular, the consecutive publication of research by BK-participating graduate students in SSCI-level international journals highlights the department’s research capacity on a global stage.


Student Seowoo Lee published a study analyzing adolescents’ psychopathological symptoms and resilience processes in the SSCI-indexed international journal Journal of Youth and Adolescence (top 19.6% in Developmental Psychology, 2025). Student Ran Kang had a study on stress interactions and parenting efficacy in multicultural families accepted for publication in the Journal of Family Psychology (top 31.1% in Family Studies, 2026). In addition, JIANG ZEKAI published a study examining the relationships among cultural stress, adaptation processes, and mental health in multicultural adolescents in Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology (top 2.5% in Ethnic Studies, 2024).


The research laboratory of Professor Taekyoung Lee, who supervised these students, has consistently produced publications in international journals, focusing on adolescent development. Furthermore, graduate alumni of the Department of Child Psychology and Education (supervised by Professor Hana Song and Professor Taekyoung Lee) have recently been appointed as full-time faculty members at universities in the United States, China, and Mongolia, and have also advanced into global IT companies such as Tencent Technology, demonstrating active engagement across diverse fields.


Currently, the Department of Child Psychology and Education is expanding international collaborative research and academic exchange based on its network with institutions such as the University of Texas at Austin, Vanderbilt University, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel), Victoria University of Wellington (New Zealand), and Mongolian National University of Education (Mongolia).
