Tomoyuki Yasuda, Ph.D. Professor of Lifelong Learning and Career Studies, Hosei University, Japan. I have long been conducting my research and publishing papers/books mainly about program evaluation in Japan (where I was born and raised) since I came back from the United States after completing my graduate work there (BIO).
Research Interests
My research addresses methodological issues in program evaluation and substantive issues related to well-being, broadly defined. I focus on well-being in social contexts, examining how individuals are empowered in ways that support subjective well-being and positive future expectations. My recent work explores how people maintain and reconstruct well-being while navigating social and economic risks and uncertainty, with particular attention to psychological and contextual resources that foster adaptability and meaning-making processes, thereby contributing to positive future expectations (Recent Work).
