    Open AccessChengfei Jiao, Celia T Lee et al.ARTICLEEmerging Adulthood2025

    Love and romance significantly influence self-identity during emerging adulthood.

    Open AccessChengfei Jiao, Hye-Jung Yun et al.ARTICLEContemporary Family Therapy2025References: 3

  • Overparenting, Loneliness, and Social Anxiety in Emerging Adulthood

    Open AccessChengfei Jiao, M Cui et al.ARTICLEEmerging Adulthood2023

    Emerging adults frequently report feelings of loneliness and social anxiety owing to changes in their social environment, instabilities, and transitions.

We examined the association between overparenting, loneliness, and social anxiety among emerging adults and investigated the potential mediating role of emotion regulation as a mechanism that mi…
