作者毕业于厦门大学英语语言文学博士学位（口译研究方向）。现为中南民族大学外语学院副教授，硕士生导师，翻译系主任，MTI中心主任。湖北省翻译工作者协会理事。2015年6月至2016年5月，在香港理工大学访学。近年先后在《中国翻译》、《上海翻译》、《外语教学理论与实践》、Across Languages and Cultures (SSCI & AHCI) 等核心期刊发表论文数篇，主持省部级以上科研项目多项。此外，作者积极参加各类学术研讨，在第10、11届全国口译大会暨国际研讨会、全球化背景下的口笔译国际研讨会、第12届中西部地区翻译理论与教学研讨会等重要学术会议上宣读论文10余次。
本著作主体研究包括研究理论框架、研究问题的提出、研究设计与步骤、研究结果的呈现与讨论。通过对149名中国口译学习者进行问卷调查和深度访谈，研究坚韧性人格对口译表现的影响及口译焦虑与自我效能感在此影响中的中介作用。基于研究结果，提出坚韧性人格的测量框架、工具和步骤，为构建口译学能测试模式提供参照。通过全面考察坚韧性人格对口译表现的影响，本书稿将为高校师生、口译研究者、心理学研究者及其他利益相关者更好理解非认知因素在口译活动中的作用提供新的理论视角和实证支持。
