Dr. Wanying Zhao

Research Scientist
Wanying

I hail from Toronto, Canada where I studied Commerce and Finance, Economics, and Psychology at the University of Toronto. During my spare time I meddled around in emotions research with Drs.Stephane Cote and Julie McCarthy and their graduate students at the Rotman School of Management.

I am interested in the processes by which moral systems are formed within a culture, how they are socialized in individuals and groups within a society, and how, evolutionarily, they fit in with human adaptation. These questions I hope to investigate with the good folks at UBC and their collaborators the world over.

After receiving her PhD in Psychology from UBC, Dr. Wanying Zhao now works as an Impact Measurement and Evaluation Analyst at Ontario Trillium Foundation and a Consultant with LogicalOutcomes.
