About the Lab

Professor Soohyun Park's research lab focuses on the intersection of psychological, behavioral, and physiological factors in health and organizational behavior. Key research directions include stress resilience and cognitive coping strategies in high-pressure professions (e.g., air force pilots), the psychological and neurobiological underpinnings of personality and temperament (e.g., Sasang typology), emotional labor and mental health outcomes in healthcare professionals, and neurocognitive mechanisms underlying behavioral addictions such as internet gaming disorder. The lab employs mixed-methods approaches, integrating psychological assessments, neuroimaging (fNIRS), and longitudinal epidemiological data to explore mental health, organizational innovation, and individual well-being.

The Moderating Effect of Cognitive Flexibility in the Relationship Between Work Stress and Psychological Symptoms in Korean Air Force Pilots
Eunjeung Sung, Ji Heum Chang, Suhjung Lee, Soo Hyun Park
SJR Q1Military Psychology

Stress is closely associated with not only physical illness but also with indices of psychological maladjustment. However, such negative mental health outcomes may vary depending on the individual’s cognitive style, or perception of stress. Air force pilots are particularly vulnerable to experience a high degree of stress as they are required to conduct missions while simultaneously monitoring for safety in complex and uncertain flight situations. It can thus be posited that appropriate use of c

SJR Q1Journal of Behavioral AddictionsOA

Background: Observation of real-time neural characteristics during gameplay would provide distinct evidence for discriminating the currently controversial diagnosis of internet gaming disorder (IGD), and elucidate neural mechanisms that may be involved in addiction. We aimed to provide preliminary findings on possible neural features of IGD during real-time internet gaming using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Methods: Prefrontal cortical activations accompanying positive and nega

The Differential Effect of Ego-Resiliency on the Relationship between Emotional Labor and Salivary Cortisol Level in Bank Clerks
You Kyung Lim, Soo Jin Cho, Sung Min, Jeong Hoon Park, Soo Hyun Park
SJR Q2International Journal of Environmental Research and Public HealthOA

Elevated stress levels in emotional laborers has been documented in a number of studies. To minimize the negative effects of stress, the need to examine potential protective factors has been highlighted. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the differential moderating effect of ego-resiliency on the relationship between emotional labor and salivary cortisol level by comparing two groups of bank clerks deemed to experience different degree of emotional labor. Twenty-four bank cler
