About
Chi‐yue Chiu is a leading scholar in cultural psychology and the psychology of human–technology interaction. His research illuminates how culture shapes cognition, motivation, and social behavior, with a particular focus on the dynamics of creativity, epistemic processes, and intercultural relations. A hallmark of his work is the investigation of how people form mental models of non‑human agents, such as robots. In his highly cited 2006 paper (172 citations), Chiu demonstrated that effective human–robot communication depends on whether individuals can establish a shared understanding of the robot’s factual knowledge—a finding that bridges social cognition and artificial intelligence. Beyond this, Chiu has made foundational contributions to understanding the cultural foundations of creativity and the role of lay theories in social judgment. His work has been widely influential, with several papers garnering hundreds of citations, and he has served as editor of prominent journals in cultural and social psychology. Chiu’s research not only advances theoretical knowledge but also offers practical insights for designing culturally adaptive technologies and fostering cross‑cultural collaboration.
