\maketitle
|
|
|
|
I graduated from Hong Kong Baptist University with an Associate Degree in Science (Psychology) and desire to study psychology further.
|
|
I have a wide range of interests and am keen to explore all things unfamiliar. The quality of which is supported by a few scales, like my higher openness in the Big Five and outstanding Investigate in Holland Code scores.
|
|
This inclination drives a strong desire to embark on discovery journeys, characterized by a deep commitment to exploring the complexities of our world.
|
|
In middle school, I took part in the Olympics in informatics, acquiring programming and algorithms, which powered me in the following academic life.
|
|
Now, I am working on the product ``Ola Friend'' in ByteDance as a supplier manager, which is training me in a real work environment and helping me develop a goal-leading pattern of problem-solving abilities.
|
|
|
|
With psychology as my major, I am passionate about understanding human behaviour and the underlying psychological mechanisms, especially in the field of social interaction.
|
|
I find immense satisfaction in interacting with diverse groups of people, striving to comprehend their varied perceptions and cognitions.
|
|
This intrinsic curiosity has led me down the path of psychology, and my dedication further underpinned my academic journey following my interest in psychology.
|
|
I delved deep into each subject in my associate degree, striving to assimilate theoretical knowledge while seeking real-world applications.
|
|
My effort is finally reflected in my academic honours ``Dean's List'' and ``President's Honour Roll'' in all four semesters of my associate degree.
|
|
Remarkably, I got a scholarship that only award the top 5\% students in the associate degree program from Hong Kong Government.
|
|
|
|
I accumulated extensive and solid psychological theories and gained a comprehensive understanding of psychological knowledge in the classroom while participated in various psychology-related activities in my life.
|
|
My involvement in initiatives such as the Mental Health First Aid Organization underscores my commitment to understanding and enhancing psychological well-being as the mainstream topic of psychology today.
|
|
Personally, I am engaging in collecting psychological scales and hosting a website, PsychoScales, to perform the scale and scoring with AI explanations.
|
|
In the future, I plan to develop this website into a platform that can provide psychological services to the public while shaping a cross-cultural database for diverse scales.
|
|
|
|
My academic interests are culture and cross-cultural psychology with psychometric and sociological methods.
|
|
During my associate studies, I was deeply sensitized that culture, functioning as an intrinsic milieu, profoundly influences our cognitive paradigms and behavioural patterns.
|
|
It is crucial to ensure the generalizability of insights derived from psychological inquiries across a gamut of culturally divergent contexts and to bridge the yawning chasm between different cultures' psychological paradigms.
|
|
I remain steadfast in my goal, investing time in keeping updated with the latest articles from journals and furthering my understanding.
|
|
I aspire not only to further my studies with an undergraduate and postgraduate degree in psychology but also to remain within academia, advancing the field through research and teaching.
|
|
|
|
For me, the path of psychology is not just a career choice but a vocation. I am confident in my ability to contribute significantly to further research with my zeal for cultural psychology and my commitment to academic rigour.
|
|
My experiences, both academic and extracurricular, have shaped my perspective, enabling me to approach challenges with an analytical mindset. This makes me an ideal candidate for a graduate program at your esteemed university.
|
|
I am keen to join your respected institution, not just as a student but also as a scholar who brings unique perspectives and makes a lasting impact.
