Biography

Dr. Jiang completed her doctoral training in school psychology at the University of South Carolina-Columbia. Before the appointment at Temple University, she was an assistant professor at the University of Memphis. She is a licensed psychologist, who is passionate about training and mentoring future school psychologists. She is an editorial board member for School Psychology and the Journal of Youth and Adolescence. Dr. Jiang’s research focuses on adolescent social-emotional well-being and psychological strengths (e.g., growth mindset, stress-related growth), especially their development in the family and school contexts. Her research also aims to better understand the role of diversity and cultural factors in positive youth development and provide evidence to guide preventive and early intervention efforts in schools and communities.
