Dr. Wong Mun’s research interests lie in young children’s social and emotional well-being, including children's concept of distributive justice, how children cope with stress associated with bullying, peer conflicts, learning, and academic achievement at school. Her recent longitudinal study examines parents’, teachers’ and children’s role in helping children to cope with stress during the transition from preschool to school.
