Dr. Twenge will provide a behind-the-scenes look at the data on how generations differ (based on a sample of 2 million young people) spiced with plenty of pop culture and humor. The generational changes include increases in self-esteem, narcissism, and entitlement and declines in mental health. In other words, today's young generation really is different. Dr. Twenge will discuss how these changes impact education and the workplace, including the young generation's expectations for work-life balance and the types of jobs they find most desirable.
