Yang, Chih-Hsiang (Jason)
Assistant Professor
My research takes a within-person approach and utilizes mobile technology and real-time assessment methodologies to understand the dynamics of movement behaviors as they unfold in naturalistic settings. I'm also interested in investigating the role of mindfulness state in regulating health behaviors and well-being. My research goal is to develop cost-effective and scalable mobile technology-based interventions to reduce obesity risk, prevent chronic diseases, and sustain health behaviors.
