EUNKOOK (Mark) SUH, Ph. D.
I was educated at Yonsei University (B. A.) and at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Ph. D., 1999), trained in personality and social psychology. After my first tenured position (Univ. of California, Irvine), I returned to my alma mater, Yonsei University, in 2003. Thanks to remarkable mentors (Drs. Ed Diener, Harry Triandis, Jerry Clore), students, and colleagues, we were able to produce work that are cited heavily in the areas of happiness and culture (+ 40,000 citations, Google Scholar, 2018).
