Michael Bond Awarded Fellow Status   The IACCP selected Michael Bond to be an Honorary Fellow at the IACCP Xian Congress     Citation in Recognition of Michael Harris Bond Honorary Fellow of the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Michael Harris Bond has made a distinguished contribution to the field of Cross-Cultural Psychology over the past three decades. After completing his first degree at the University of Toronto in his native Canada, he achieved his doctorate at Stanford University and a post-doctoral fellowship at Michigan State University. After a brief stay at Kwansei Gakuin University in Japan, he obtained an appointment at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he remains to this day as Full Professor of Psychology. Professor Bond’s contribution to cross-cultural psychology falls into four sections. Firstly, he has conducted and published as first author and as research collaborator an astonishing array of empirical cross-cultural studies in the fields of social, organizational and personality psychology. Over the years these studies have revealed a growing and acute sense of the best ways to contend with the intricacies of how to conduct valid cross-national studies. His studies have been at the forefront of developments in exploration of both values and beliefs as explanatory constructs in our field. Secondly, he has turned to great advantage his location in the cultural crossroads of Hong Kong. Through collaborations and through entertaining a constant stream of visitors, he has ensured that the psychology of the Hong Kong Chinese is probably better researched than that of any population outside of North America, and far better than several continents whose populations dwarf that of Hong Kong. Thirdly, he has written and edited a series of key books that have contributed greatly to the wider dispersion of knowledge about Chinese psychology and about cross-cultural psychology more generally. Fourthly, over 20 years he has conducted a spirited campaign to bridge the gap between cross-cultural psychologists and mainstream psychologists. He deserves no small share of the credit for the extent to which APA journals are currently carrying a substantially greater number of cross-cultural studies than was the case in former times. Michael Bond has served as President of IACCP, and his past and continuing contributions to the goals of the Association make him a worthy recipient of an Honorary Fellowship.
