The Journal of Early Adolescence (JEA)

The Journal of Early Adolescence is a long-standing, interdisciplinary scholarly journal dedicated to advancing knowledge about the developmental period of early adolescence—typically spanning ages 10 to 14. Since its establishment in 1981, it has provided a key forum for researchers and practitioners across psychology, education, human development, public health, and related fields to disseminate original theoretical work, empirical findings, and science-based practices that illuminate the complex interplay of individual, familial, peer, school, and cultural influences on young adolescents. The journal publishes nine issues per year, each containing peer-reviewed articles that address pivotal aspects of early adolescent life such as identity formation, socio-emotional development, academic engagement, problem behaviors, peer and family relationships, self-regulation, and risk and resilience factors. Its multidisciplinary readership includes developmental scientists, educators, clinicians, and policymakers seeking evidence-based insights into the challenges and opportunities of early adolescent development. Regular features encompass original research papers, theoretical contributions, brief reports, and rapid communiqués, all held to rigorous editorial standards. The journal’s sustained publication history and broad subject coverage have made it an influential resource for advancing developmental science and informing practice that supports healthy early adolescent growth.
