1. emerging adulthood (Arnett, 2004)
2. theory of stress and coping (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984)
3. uses and gratifications theory (Katz, Blumler, & Gurevitch, 1974)

• RQ1: How do emerging adults use social media for emotional disclosure?
• RQ2: How might emotional disclosure on social media be linked to mental health?
