嬰幼兒期精熟動機構念的文化比較
本研究聚焦於探討精熟動機概念的文化差異。本人所前往之機構為美國科羅拉多州立大學(CSU)，在地合作的研究者為該校 Department of Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS)之 Professor Karen Barrett。Dr. Barrett 不論在精熟動機研究領域(e.g., Barrett & Morgan, 2018; Wang & Barrett, 2013; Barrett & Morgan, 1995; Barrett, Morgan, & Maslin-Cole, 1993) 以及社會情緒發展研究領域 (e.g., Barrett, Fox, Morgan, Fidler, & Daunhauer, 2013)皆有崇高之學術地位，且亦嫻熟於跨文化社會情緒發展的議題(e.g., Józsa, Wang, Barrett, & Morgan, 2014; Wang & Barrett, 2015)。
照護持續性與病患就醫行為管理研究—以藥物交互作用為例
1 近年來，提高患者的照護持續性是病人照護的中心主題之一。 較高的照護持續性與好的病人預後相關，包含：急診就診次數減少，入院次數減少和醫療費用降低等，同時也發現，這個效果可以通過減少不適當的藥物得到部分解釋。2 除此之外，較高的照護持續性也可以增加患者的藥物依從性。3 不良的照護持續性會增加發生藥物相互作用事件的風險，並且在多共病的病患中效果更顯著。4 然而，過去鮮少有研究深入探討高照護持續性對於藥物相互作用的影響機制。了解照護持續性如何影響藥物相互作用事件發生的機制非常重要

Stamps
Taiwanese people love their stamps. I was first alerted to this when I read on a blog that each MRT station in Taipei has its own unique rubber stamp. I went to look for them, and once I started, I couldn’t stop. I bought a little booklet with blank pages

Chih-Chin Chou: Social Support for Indigenous People with Disability and Chronic Illness in Taiwan
Dr. Chih-Chin Chou came back to Taiwan with a specialty on Rehabilitation & Mental Health Counseling after she departed 25 years ago. She aimed to research the population that she is most passionate about – indigenous people. She found the majority of research in the field is either on indigenous people or people with disability but lack of ones that covered both. By face-to-face interactions and knowledge sharing, she gained people’s trust and built connects locally.
Dr. Chou is the Program Director for the Rehabilitation & Mental Health Counseling Program at the University of South Florida. Her research interests include psychiatric rehabilitation, research methodology, social support, vocational outcomes for people with disabilities, rehabilitation education, international rehabilitation, and positive psychology. She has published over 25 articles in peer-reviewed journals and eight book chapters. Dr. Chou has received numerous grants including three current training grants totaling almost $2.5 million.
