Wen JIANG
I am a second-year Ph. D student. My recent research interest lies in the process-oriented examination on multiple goal pursuit. Besides, I am working on the real-life implications of achievement-related constructs such as grit, conscientiousness, and self-control (e.g., goal pursuit and psychological adjustment). To achieve this, longitudinal methodologies (e.g., daily diary, day reconstruction, experience sampling, and long-interval longitudinal design) are used.
