As Artificial Intelligence (AI) rapidly integrates into daily life, learning, and work environments, human Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies have become critical capabilities affecting psychological adaptation, physical and mental health, and interpersonal interactions. The core of SEL encompasses five major dimensions: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. These dimensions are closely intertwined with foundational psychological theories, emotional and behavioral mechanisms, and clinical and counseling practices.Compared to past mental development research that primarily focused on cognition and learning, contemporary psychology urgently needs to address the profound impacts of AI on emotional experiences, attention allocation, and social interactions, thereby proposing an integrated scientific perspective and empirical foundation.
 

Grounded in foundational psychological theories, the conference integrates brain-mind mechanisms, emotional science, and behavioral research, extending to applied domains such as clinical practices, health psychology, and technological interventions to construct a multi-layered, comprehensive framework. Through academic dialogue that bridges basic and applied research, the conference seeks to deepen understanding of emotional regulation and social adaptation, while examining how human psychological functioning and behavioral patterns are evolving in the AI era. Beyond these academic aims, the conference seeks to connect educational settings, mental health practice, and emerging technological trends to promote collaboration between academia and industry, thereby expanding the applied potential of psychological knowledge within AI and digital technology ecosystems. In the face of rising emotional distress among adolescents, increased risks associated with technology use, and growing social adaptation challenges, psychology must integrate theory and practice to provide concrete, actionable scientific guidelines.
 

The Department of Psychology at Asia University has long been committed to excellence in psychological teaching and research, fostering both theoretical and practical strengths reflected in its guiding visions of “Insightfully Understanding the Beautiful Mind” and “Enlightening the Mind, Fulfilling Human Potential.” In recent years, the department has identified “AI-Psychology” as a major direction for future development. Hosted at Asia University, this conference centers on SEL as a unifying theme connecting diverse areas of psychology. By bridging foundational theories with clinical and health applications, the conference aims to establish an integrative psychological framework for the AI era while addressing pressing societal needs in mental health, educational development, and talent cultivation.
