Relationships are at the center of human social environment, and their quality and longevity are widely recognized to have particular relevance for health and well-being. Yet, what a “good relationship” looks like differs cultures across, depending on how cultures prioritize personal or relational/collective goals. My research uncovered that there are noticeable differences across cultures in how people engage their social relationship. For example, Asians engage their relationships with more caution than European Americans. This difference, in turn, influences individuals' assessment of potential costs and benefits of many everyday decisions, such as seeking and providing social support. Asians are more reluctant to explicitly ask for support from close others than are European Americans because they are more concerned about the potentially negative relational consequences of such behaviors. We also found that Asians are more likely to use and benefit from forms of support that do not involve explicit disclosure of personal stressful events and feelings of distress. Taken together, this program of research identifies culture-specific ways in which social support use and provision promote psychological and biological health and strengthen social relationships.

Keynote Speech (1) Culture Resilience (Prof. Heejung Kim)
Culture and Social Support: Implications for Health and Well-being
Psychological resilience has been explored in psychology, especially in developmental psychology and psychotraumatology for years. Recently, it attracts unexpectedly more attention in research and practice. However, it is yet to be conclusive regarding the role of psychological resilience in related to psychological adjustment in general and psychological distress such like depression and PTSD in specific. What's more, research puzzles around psychological resilience in the pathways to psychological health seem to arise far more than conclusions. In my presentation, I will start with a brief narrative history on its definition and associated calibration of research approaches. In that, I will demonstrate its roles as predisposition, moderator/mediator, and outcome with some extant studies including ours on traumas like burn, earthquake, and COVID-19 as well as on experiences during human-robot conversations and disease adjustment. Some thoughts about the challenges in research with psy chological resilience and suggestions to cross the hurdles in future empirical study will be addressed. Finally, in a hope to broaden our professional contributions in Taiwan, I would also like to share some thoughts about expansion of research topics with psychological resilience, and so as applications in practice.

Keynote Speech (2) Psychological Resilience (Distinguished Professor Chen Shuhui)
Psychological Resilience: Pedestal, Stepping Stone, or Destination in the Pathway to Psychological Health?
Mental resilience refers to an individual's resilience in the face of major adversity, the ability of an individual to go through life trauma and come back, comfortable as usual. Therefore, mental toughness plays a crucial role in the cause, prevention and treatment of mental illnesses induced by physical and mental stress, and it is also important for individuals to successfully adjust and improve cognitive and mental health in the face of significant stress of physical decline during the aging process. Brain resilience plays an important role. Successful people do not fail, but whether they succeed or fail, they can maintain mental toughness, make people have clear goals, and have the ability to implement and self-control. They can quickly reduce the negativity encountered in life, and thus gain Personal achievement and physical and mental health. Recently, the issue of mental toughness has gradually received high attention internationally. In 2018, the European Union Research Council spent 1.8 million euros to launch a five-year project to study mental toughness with dynamic models. For two consecutive years (2017-2018), the Sustainable Development Goals have listed building resilience from individuals to communities as the main goal. Although such issues have been carried out internationally, there has been no progress from brain mechanisms to empirical evidence. Basic interventional research, so the use of brain science to explore mental toughness is indeed pioneering research. This speech intends to combine research in psychology and neurobiological sciences to discuss how mental resilience modulates the aging process and mental health, and introduces various new interventions to strengthen resilience.

Keynote Speech (3) Brain Resilience (Xie Shulan Chair Professor)
Resilience in Mental Health and Aging
Organizational resilience can be understood as the ability of an organization to survive and develop continuously in the face of sudden interruptions. However, how can organizations accumulate and effectively develop organizational resilience capabilities? From the perspective of human capital, this report focuses on how small and medium-sized enterprises can use high-performance human resource systems to enhance the value and diversity of human capital, thereby enhancing the organization Resilience and explore the role of senior management teams in whether organizational resilience can improve organizational performance. This report is based on the latest research findings, including measuring and clarifying the concept of organizational resilience and testing the research model using a sample of small and medium-sized enterprises, in an attempt to outline the concept, antecedents and effects of organizational resilience.
