Award for Distinguished Scientific Early Career Contributions to Psychology: Ming-Te Wang

The APA Awards for Distinguished Scientific Early Career Contributions to Psychology recognize psychologists who have demonstrated excellence early in their careers and have held a doctoral degree for no more than 9 years. One of the 2019 award winners is Ming-Te Wang, "for his energetic and socially responsive research program that develops ways to improve youth learning by improving the environments in which it takes place. Ming-Te Wang has made major theoretical and empirical contributions to our understanding of learning and development across contexts while also producing and synthesizing evidence to support practices that reduce youth stress, increase resilience, foster engagement and active learning, and enable healthy growth."
