Chi-yue Chiu is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He received his Ph.D. in social-personality psychology at Columbia University and taught at Hong Kong University before moving to Illinois. His current research focuses on cultures as knowledge traditions, and the social, cognitive, and motivational processes that mediate the construction and evolution of social consensus. He is also interested in the dynamic interactions of cultural identification and cultural knowledge traditions, and their implications for cultural competence and intercultural relations.
His recent research on group processes examines the role of lay theories in entitativity perception. His latest publications include The Social Psychology of Culture, a book he co-authored with Ying-yi Hong. Professor Chiu is currently the Associate Editor of the Journal of Personality and the Asian Journal of Social Psychology.
