University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB)

UCSB Library is pleased to present Heejung Kim (Psychological and Brain Sciences) in the Pacific Views: Library Speaker Series for Winter 2026. In her talk, she explores how relationships lie at the heart of human life, strongly influencing our health and well-being. Yet what counts as a “good relationship” can vary widely across cultures. Different cultural values — such as prioritizing personal independence or emphasizing group harmony — shape how people set social expectations, regulate emotions, and interact with those closest to them. In this talk, Kim will present her research on how these cultural differences influence the way people use and benefit from social support when dealing with stress.
