The Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) was reconstructed in 1951. Its predecessor was the Institute of Psychology, Academia Sinica founded in 1929. Being the only national research institute in psychology in China, the Institute of Psychology carries out a wide range of research in the following fields: comprehensive and systematic studies of the human mind, neural and genetic basis of basic psychological functions, individual and social aspects of human development through life-span. The Institute is committed to a broad mission of excellence in research to improve well being and mental health of Chinese people; to promote the economic, social, and harmonious development of China.
The Institute has presently employed 150 staff，including 127 researchers and technicians, among them 23 are professors and 33 associate professors. Among these professors, 1 is entitled the member of the Third World Academy of Sciences, 4 the Hundred Talents Program of CAS, 1 the winner of the National Natural Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, 2 the New Century Outstanding Support Program. In addition, there are 228 graduate students (including 105 Ph.D. candidates and 123 Master students) and 17 postdoctoral scientists working at the Institute.
At present, the Institute is composed of six divisions, such as the division of Developmental and Educational Psychology, Cognitive and Experimental Psychology, CAS Key Laboratory of Mental Health, Social and Economic Behavior, Behavioral Genetics, and Crisis Intervention. Current and on-going research projects include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
