Dr. C. Emily Schryer is social developmental psychologist with a focus on adult development and aging. She is an Associate Professor in the Department of Human Development at California State University Long Beach.

Her research focuses on aging and well-being and examines sociocultural factors that influence successful adaption to transitions across the adult lifespan including social support, compensatory strategy use, emotional self-regulation, and stereotypes about aging. She is interested in the stories that people tell about their own lives and their own experiences, and her most current research project is exploring how the way that people remember and tell their own life stories influences resilience and changes in well-being across the adult lifespan.
