Associate Professor Jiesi Guo’s current research focuses on (1) the academic motivational factors (e.g., task value, self-concept) and choice behaviours, (2) the impact of school climate and family socialization on students’ motivational beliefs, (3) cross-cultural differences in motivational processes; (3) how multiple ecological systems on the cultural, social, motivational, and behavioural development of youth shape their major and career choices particularly in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics); (4) methodological issues in Structural Equation Modelling (e.g., multi-group and multi-level modelling).
