She then served as Chair for Developmental and Cross-Cultural Psychology at the University of Konstanz before her 2007 appointment as Research Professor at the German Institute for Economic Studies, Berlin. Dr Trommsdorff's research interests are focused on intergenerational relations over the lifespan, transmission of values and children's socioemotional and prosocial development, including adaptation to socio-cultural change, with a primary focus on cultural contexts. Over the past twenty years she has established an international and interdisciplinary collaborative research team in Japan, Korea, China, Indonesia, India, the United States and several Eastern and Western European countries. She has co-edited more than twenty books, authored numerous book chapters and articles and served on the boards of international journals and scientific institutions.

Dr Chen is the recipient of a William T. Grant Scholars Award, a Shanghai Eastern Scholars Award, and several other academic awards for his scientific work. His primary research interests are in children's and adolescents' socioemotional functioning (such as shyness-inhibition, social competence, affect) and social relationships from a contextual-developmental perspective. Most recently, Dr Chen has been conducting, with his international collaborators, several large-scale, longitudinal projects in Canada, China, and other countries. His current work focuses on the implications of macro-level societal changes for socialization and socioemotional development.
