For over 28 years, the Journal of Early Adolescence (JEA) has provided demanding researchers and practitioners in criminology, developmental psychology, education, human development and family studies, psychology, psychiatry, public health, and sociology with the latest work concerning original theories, empirical research, literature reviews, and science-based practices regarding the early adolescent developmental period (10 through 14 years of age).
In-Depth Coverage
Four times a year, the Journal of Early Adolescence clarifies and analyzes significant advances and issues from diverse developmental contexts (peer, family, and community), such as education motivation and achievement, identity development (self-esteem and self-concept), problem behaviors (health risks, reactions to stress), sexuality, the importance of culture, as well as in-depth discussions on research design and methodology. Each article goes through a rigorous, double-blinded, peer review process by at least two (up to four) members of an international, multi-disciplinary panel of experts.
