Sang’s overall research program is motivated by her desire to understand, harness, and/or foster openness in academia as well as the rest of the world — openness to new ideas and experiences, to people with different opinions and cultural backgrounds, to important life lessons and opportunities for growth, and to novel and underutilized scientific methods in psychology (e.g., inductive/abductive, person-centered/configural, big data, Bayesian, qualitative). Her focal expertise lies in developing and validating techniques of measuring individual differences for various organizational and educational purposes, as well as in clarifying the theoretical underpinnings and implications of such techniques. Sang actively contributes to the international community of psychology and social sciences more broadly.
