This book celebrates the scholarly achievements of Prof. David A.
Watkins, who has pioneered research on the psychology of Asian
learners, and helps readers grasp the cognitive, motivational,
developmental, and socio-cultural aspects of Asian learners
learning experiences. A wide range of empirical and review papers,
which examine the characteristics of these experiences as they are
shaped by both the particularities of diverse educational
systems/cultural milieus and universal principles of human learning
and development, are showcased. The individual chapters, which
explore learners from fourteen Asian countries, autonomous regions,
and/or economies, build on research themes and approaches from
Prof. Watkins' research work, and are proof of the broad importance
and enduring relevance of his seminal psychological research on
learners and the learning process.

This book explores students’ and teachers’ well-being from
positive psychology and education perspectives and showcases
interventions that optimize well-being in the school context. The
book also covers crucial positive psychology and education
topics/themes including character strengths, gratitude, growth
mindset, grit, resilience, positive emotions, and well-being among
others. The chapters include reviews and empirical research based
on diverse methodologies, such as correlational, experimental,
quasi-experimental, intervention, longitudinal, and qualitative
approaches from six different Asian sociocultural
contexts—Singapore, Hong Kong, Mainland China, Israel, Macau, and
Philippines. All the chapters, provide practical pointers for
teachers and educators who aim to nurture well-being in
schools.Â
Scholars and practitioners in the fields of education and
educational psychology have come to agree that conceptions of
learning and teaching, student and teacher motivation, engagement,
learning and teaching strategies, and by implication, student
academic achievement and teacher effectiveness are also influenced
by a sociocultural context where the schooling process takes place.
This raises the question if educational psychology theorising and
findings can be adopted to inform and guide teaching and learning
in different cultures. As such, there is a compelling and timely
need for educational psychology researchers to harness advanced
cross-cultural research designs and look at the different key
facets of student and teacher academic careers from a
cross-cultural perspective. Dennis McInerney is one of the key
pioneering figures in cross-cultural educational psychology and has
also edited a book series on Research on Sociocultural Influences
on Motivation and Learning (Information Age Publishing). His ideas
and research have inspired many to examine the role of
sociocultural context in motivation and learning. This volume is a
celebration of McInerney's numerous and extensive contributions as
a scholar, as well as an appreciation of his personal qualities
that make him such an inspiring person. In this festschrift, the
editors seek to extend the scholarly contributions of Dennis
McInerney by inviting internationally recognised and leading
educational psychology scholars who have inspired and been inspired
by his work to re-examine their research expertise from a
cross-cultural perspective. The volume aims to stimulate
researchers, scholars, and graduate students in their endeavour to
re-look their research from a cross-cultural lens.

This book is an attempt to capture a representation of the work
being done by Asian and non-Asian social psychologists exploring
the Asian social experience as it relates to three important and
interrelated social psychological constructs: the self,
interpersonal relationships, and subjective wellbeing. These three
broad constructs are addressed and cast in varied ways in the
chapters in this volume.
