研究室紹介
Professor Soo-Jin Lee's research lab focuses on the intersection of culture, self-construal, and human behavior, particularly in social interaction, decision-making, and self-regulation. The lab explores how cultural orientations—such as interdependent vs. independent self-construal—affect temporal perception, task evaluation, and negotiation strategies across East Asian and Western contexts. It also investigates digital behavior, including Internet use patterns and cyber ethics among youth, as well as the psychological underpinnings of self-control and perceived power. Additionally, the lab contributes to technical applications in autonomous systems, such as vision-based UAV landing strategies.

15Abstract This paper describes how different self‐construals influence people's perception of temporal distance and in turn their task evaluation. We hypothesize that people with a more accessible interdependent (vs. independent) self‐construal perceive future events as temporally more proximal, and that people's reaction toward a task is intensified when the temporal distance to the task matches (vs. mismatches) their self‐construal. Across four studies, we showed that individuals with a more ac
Abstract East Asian cultures are widely held to be fairly homogeneous in that they highly value harmonious social relationships. We propose, however, that the focus (dyadic versus group) and the nature (emotional versus instrumental) of social relations vary among the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cultures in ways that have important implications for the negotiation tactics typically employed by managers from these three cultures. Our data are from a web survey administered to three hundred eigh
This study examines the relationships between the online life-styles of South Korean students as Internet users and Internet use, their tendency toward Internet addiction, and the level of cyber ethics. A sample of 324 students, aged between 18 and 23 years, from a medium-sized university in South Korea was asked to complete a survey. They were categorized into three groups depending on their online life-styles: a Social group (SG), an Individual group (IG), and a Loner group (LG). In the follow
Individuals exercise self-control daily to achieve desired goals; at the same time, people engage in social interaction daily and influence (feel powerful) or are influenced (feel powerless) by others. Does controlling the self have an unforeseen consequence for people's perception of their capacity to control others? Five studies-one correlational and four experimental-demonstrate that ego depletion from prior self-control determines one's personal sense of power; low-level, concrete mental con
Abstract This paper proposes a vision-based autonomous landing strategy for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) UAVs on a moving platform. The approach uses visual measurements to estimate the relative position and speed between the landing pad and the UAV. Challenges arise when the landing pad moves out of the camera’s field of view or when visual measurements become unstable due to excessive UAV maneuvers, leading to degraded landing performance. To address this, the study introduces a novel
This research examines the previously unstudied role of cultural attachment in international negotiations. Specifically focusing on the fearful attachment style, this article reveals the intricate interaction of cultural attachment, risk perception, and risk regulation on negotiators' ability to claim value in international negotiation. Supporting our theorizing based on cultural attachment and prospect theory, findings show that risk‐averse sellers with fearful attachment to their national cult
BACKGROUND: Despite the increasing demand for global health education, relatively few global health courses currently are offered in Korea. METHOD: This mixed-methods study examined the need for global health competency and global health education experience for nursing students. A survey of 208 nursing students was conducted from May 2020 to August 2020, and three focus groups were conducted with 12 nursing students. RESULTS: The average score of global health nursing competencies was 2.8 ± 0.7
