Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between proactive social media engagement and parental anxiety during the academic transition period in contemporary China. Through the process of gathering questionnaire data and performing data analysis, this research investigates the manner in which actively participating in social media platforms has a positive impact on parental anxiety. This impact is observed through the mediation of two variables: risk perception and efficacy perception. The academic transition period, which involves important educational milestones such as entrance exams or university admissions, often creates significant stress and anxiety for both students and their parents in China. With the rapid growth and widespread use of social media in recent years, it is crucial to explore its potential impact on parental anxiety during this crucial phase. This study can provide a reference for the extension of EPPM to address issues related to social anxiety. Additionally, it can offer effective approaches to alleviate parental educational anxiety.
