Ji-Kang Chen (PhD) is currently an Associate Professor of the Department of Social Work at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. After graduating from Department of Social Work at National Taiwan University, he worked as a child protective services social worker in Taiwan. He then went to Washington University in St. Louis for his MSW and went on to earn his PhD in social work at the University of Southern California. Dr. Chen’s primary research interests have focus on cross-national comparative research on violence and bullying in school and cyberspace, adolescents’ mental health, and children’s well-being. Specifically, his research aims to contribute to the theoretical and practical knowledge of school violence and cyberbully in Chinese societies (i.e., Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China) and other countries. He has collaborated for many years with scholars from different countries on school violence and bullying research projects. He has used various methods, such as random sampling methods, longitudinal designs, and multi-informant approaches, as well as various data analyses, such as structural equation modeling (SEM), Rasch analysis (RA), latent class analysis (LCA), and hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), to examine various factors associated with different forms of school violence (e.g., peer bullying, student maltreatment by teachers, and student violence against teachers) and cyberbullying. Dr. Chen has received many competitive research grants from various sources to study school violence and bullying in Chinese societies. As a PI, he recently completed a large-scale longitudinal research project on “School Variables as Mediators of School Violence in Hong Kong, Mainland China and Taiwan” funded by the General Research Fund, the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong (similarly prestigious with federal grants in United States such as NSF, NIH and NIMH). He also join in different large-scale international research teams to conduct research projects on topics related children’s subject well-beings and bullying such as “Children’s World: International Survey on Children’s Well-Being (ISCWeb)” and “Health & Social Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Young People across the Socioeconomic Ladder: A Cross-Country Comparative Study.” His work has been published in reputational academic journals across diverse disciplines. He has served on the Editorial Board of the Journal of School Violence since 2012. In addition, Dr. Chen has been invited by non-governmental organizations, legislators, and governments to consult on strategies and policies concerning anti-violence measures in schools in Chinese societies. His outstanding teaching performance in research methods and advanced statistics merited The Award for Excellence in Teaching from the University of Southern California in 2006 and an Exemplary Teaching Award from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2016.
