Amestoy (master’s student, clinical psychology, UTSC); Yiyi Wang (PhD student, department of psychology, UTM); Andrea McCracken (Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy); Xue (Sunny) Xiang (PhD student, organizational behaviour and human resource management, Rotman School of Management); Rya Buckley (master’s student, school and clinical child psychology, OISE); and Yaxi Zhao (PhD candidate, Faculty of Information).
