[编辑]Frederick T. L. Leong is currently Professor of Applied Psychology at Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, China. He is a leading psychologist specializing in cultural diversity psychological science. Leong is a first-generation Asian American of Chinese descent, who was born and educated in Malaysia. He came to the United States in 1975 on an international student scholarship to study for a B.A. in psychology at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. He graduated cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1979 with high honors in psychology. His undergraduate honors thesis, “Males’ Responses to Female Competence,” was published in Sex Roles (Deutch & Leong, 1983).
Leong went to the University of Maryland, where he completed graduate studies with a double specialty in counseling and industrial/organizational psychology in 1988. His dissertation was titled “Cross-Cultural Epidemiology of Psychological Disorders: A Comparison of Asian-Americans and White Clients in Hawaii’s Mental Health System” which was published in a special issue of Journal of Community Psychology (Leong, 1994). During his graduate studies he was also selected as a Minority Fellow of the Minority Fellowship Program, American Psychological Association, from 1984 to 1986. As part of the doctoral program, he completed a 2-year internship at Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, New Hampshire, where he focused on psychodynamic psychotherapy.

He retired from MSU in 2021 and took a professor position in China to continue his research on Chinese Psychology
Research
[编辑]Professor Leong’s major research interests center on two major areas in cultural diversity science: (a) cultural and personality factors in career development, adaptability, and work psychology, and (b) culture and mental health, (especially with Asians and Asian Americans) and cross-cultural psychotherapy. Leong has authored or coauthored 192 articles in peer-reviewed journals and 126 book chapters. He has also edited or co-edited 10 books, 10 handbooks, and 1 encyclopedia (Encyclopedia of Counseling, 2010, Sage). His handbooks include The Psychology Research Handbook: A Guide for Graduate Students and Research Assistants (1996; second edition 2005, third edition is in press, Sage), Handbook of Racial and Ethnic Minority Psychology (2003, Sage), Handbook of Asian American Psychology (second edition 2006, Sage), APA Handbook of Multicultural Psychology (2014, APA), Handbook of Career Development: International Perspectives (2014, Springer), ITC International Handbook of Testing and Assessment, (2016, Oxford), Handbuch Stress und Kultur: Interkulturelle und kulturvergleichende perspektiven cultural (2020, German, Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH), and the APA Handbook of Psychotherapy (2022 in press, APA), He has delivered over 185 conference presentations and 197 invited presentations.

Professional Contributions
[编辑]Leong has helped advance cultural diversity within the American Psychological Association across multiple domains over the past 25 years. Much of this service to the field has focused on scientific education and training. He was a member of the Advisory Committee for the Minority Fellowship Program for 10 years (1996-2006). This committee was tasked with selecting new MFP Fellows (funded by NIH and SAMHSA) and Post-Doctoral Fellows, as well as planning for the APA conventions and the Summer Training Institute. He also served for 15 years on the Implementation Task Force for the Commission on Ethnic Minority Recruitment, Retention, and Training (CEMRRAT) (1999-2015). The task force reviewed and awarded small grants for improving the recruitment, retention, and training of ethnic minority students. It was also charged by APA President Richard Suinn to evaluate and select the winners of the Suinn Awards.
He has also been elected to other APA boards and committees to represent the perspectives of cultural, racial, and ethnic minority psychologists and communities. On these boards and committees, he sought to inform APA leadership and members regarding the needs and perspectives of psychologist of color and their communities. During his service on the APA Board of Scientific Affairs he initiated the APA Advanced Training Institute on Research Methods with Diverse Racial and Ethnic Groups (a week-long training workshop). He has also provided similar services in the following APA boards and committees with the same goals: Committee on Employment and Human Resources (1996-1998); Committee on Psychological Tests and Assessment (CPTA) (2003- 2005); Membership Board, (2012-2014); and the Committee on International Relations in Psychology (CIRP) (2000- 2002). Due to my extensive experience and contributions across multiple APA boards and committees, he was also appointed and served on several key APA wide task forces. For example, he was selected to serve on the APA Good Governance Task Force (2011- 2013). The Good Governance Project was established to review and make recommendations to improve the governance structure and practices within APA related to the Board of Directors (BoD) and Council of Representatives. To implement this change, APA established the Needs Assessment, Slating, and Campaign Committee. NASCC is tasked with recruiting, interviewing, and slating at-large candidates for the APA Board of Directors who are then elected by the general membership. I was selected to serve on the inaugural NASCC (2017-2019) which helped slate the first group of at-large BoD members. In that role, I focused on increasing the cultural diversity within the slates of candidates for the BoD.
Leong’s service and dedication to the field of psychology has also extended to the international arena. He has participated actively in international congresses of psychology and has been invited to organize numerous symposia at these congresses. Examples of these include the Pacific Science Congress in Beijing (1996), the International Congress of Applied Psychology in Singapore (2002), the International Congress of Psychology in Beijing (2004), and the International Congress of Applied Psychology in Athens (2006). He is also working on organizing a symposium on the intersection between personnel psychology and vocational psychology for the International Congress of Psychology in Berlin in 2008. Leong has consistently supported the development and advancement of psychology in Asia and on Asian issues. On many occasions he has been invited to serve as a discussant at conferences featuring Asian issues. He has served as an external examiner on doctoral dissertations in Pakistan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangladesh, and the United Arab Emirates. He has invested time in teaching and researching in the Asia-Pacific region by undertaking visiting professor appointments at the University of Hawai’i, Chinese University of Hong Kong, and National University of Singapore. His most recent contribution in this arena was the establishment of the Shanghai-MSU Research Consortium on Career and Work Psychology. He has also contributed to the development of Chinese Psychology.
At Michigan State University, Leong established the Consortium for Multicultural Psychology Research to promote more multicultural research in the department and across campus. Major activities of the Consortium were (a) The Annual Distinguished Lecture on Multicultural Psychology: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3gvZ-NuXSLQLio42ICoh1A, (b) The APA Advanced Training Institute on Research Methods with Diverse Racial-Ethnic Groups, a week-long training workshop held at Michigan State University: https://www.apa.org/science/programs/ati/res-diversity, (c) Joseph White Outstanding Student Multicultural Research Award, (d) Multicultural Visiting Scholars Program, and (e) Data Archives for Student Research.
