Under Review

I have a manuscript on shyness and peer preference under review. A second manuscript examining children’s gossip using an LLM-assisted program is also under review.

In Preparation

I am preparing a manuscript on a cross-age study of shyness and peer preference. I am also preparing a mixed-methods manuscript on Chinese American adolescents’ stress and support during the college application season, as well as a manuscript on a school-based intervention.
