 Chi-Ah Chun
CSU Long Beach
Assistant Professor of Psychology
One of the newer members of the Psychology Department faculty, Chi-Ah Chun's interests
focus on how immigrants and refugees transition to their new society in America. She is
actively studying Cambodian refugees in Long Beach, who represent the largest Cambodian
population outside their native country. Through her research, she is examining
incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety disorder and related
issues in this population, and how individuals and their families cope.
Chun is the associate director of a training program called Career Opportunities in
Research funded by the National Institute of Mental Health and hopes to one day
establish a research center at CSULB that would consider Asian American mental
health.
Chun began her career at Long Beach in 2000 after earning her B.A. from the University
of California, Berkeley, an M.A. from Korea University, Seoul, and a Ph.D. from the
University of California, Los Angeles.
