Bio

Han-Huei (Crystal) Tsay is a fourth year PhD student in the Department of Management at GWSB. She received her Bachelor degree in Accounting, National Taiwan University and her Master degree in Organizational and Social Psychology, London School of Economics. When in LSE, she was especially interested in social identity and intergroup relations because she was often interested in knowing why and how individuals form the concept of self. This motivated her to use social identity approach to study intergroup relations in cross-cultural contexts.

Another area of her research is about learning and adaptation in different contexts. For one study, she investigated the role of team emotional intelligence and its relationship to student teams' learning behavior and performance. For another study, she tried to understand how social support helps students adapt in transition to graduate school. She is also interested in knowing how social support translates its impact in facilitating expatriates' adjustment in various aspects in a host country.
