Qi Wang (Chinese: 王琪) is a Chinese-born American psychologist, professor, and author who is best known for her study of memory and culture.

During her term, Wang launched many initiatives to maintain and enhance the academic distinction and inclusion of the Department, and she created a blueprint for what has later become the Cornell Center for Integrative Developmental Science.

[6] She and Carole Peterson observed that when remembering early childhood experiences, both children and adults systematically date the events at later ages than they actually were - a telescoping bias.

[10] Wang further leads the research effort to understand the impact of the Internet and social media as a cultural force on memory.

She suggests that the public, interactive, and immediate nature of online posting changes what and how individuals remember about their experiences and further shapes their sense of self and identity.

She urges psychologists to take culture into account in their research so as to eliminate culture-bound biases and build a true psychological science.

[26] Wang’s work has been featured in media outlets such as Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, BBC, PBS, and The New Yorker.

[27][28][29][30][31][32] To translate research findings for the general public, Wang has written a book (Peking University Press, 2015) on parenting, 哈佛宝宝养育录 (Raising a Harvard Baby: One Hundred Practices of Successful Childrearing), that integrates positive childrearing practices from Western and Asian cultures.
