Tomoyuki Yasuda, Ph.D. Professor of Hosei University, Tokyo, 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 at Penn State in 2005 (LINK).
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 community contexts, examining how individuals are empowered in ways that support subjective well-being and a positive future orientation. My recent work explores how people maintain and reconstruct well-being while navigating social and economic risks and uncertainty, with particular attention to how personal and contextual resources foster adaptability and meaning-making processes that ultimately contribute to well-being.
