Professors Na Eun-young and Sah
Young June from Sogang’s School of Media, Arts, and Science were selected for the ‘2021 Psychology
Convergence Research Support Project.’ The Korean Psychological Association supports
psychology convergence research every year in order to inspire creative and
convergent research and to induce active exchanges between different
disciplines.
The title of the selected
psychology convergence research project is ‘Can artificial intelligence alleviate
negative emotions: The effects of texts written by artificial intelligence and
humans on the emotions and judgment of readers,’ a project bringing together Social
Psychology (40%), Artificial Intelligence (30%), and Communications Studies
(30%). Professor Na Eun-young, a Ph.D. holder in Social Psychology, is the lead
researcher, while Professor Sah Young June an industrial engineer with a Ph.D.
in Human-Computer Interaction, along with Professor Na Eun Kyung, a professor from
the School of Communication at Kookmin University, who has a Ph.D. in Communications
Studies, will conduct the research together as cooperative researchers, with Ho
Kyu-hyun, a master’s student in the Department of Journalism and Strategic
Communication, acting as an assistant researcher.
The results of this study,
which began on February 1, 2021, will be presented at the symposium of the
Korean Psychological Association in late August, with the final report to be submitted
afterwards.
Professor Na said, “Based on
this attempt to carry out a convergence study, we expect that it will serve as
an opportunity to encourage more diverse interdisciplinary studies in the
School of Media, Arts, and Science.”
