Jean M. Twenge, PhD.
Keynote Address — Why Today’s Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled – and More Miserable Than Ever Before
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 students really are different. Dr. Twenge will discuss how these changes impact campus management and workplace dynamics, and detail how the generations can work together.
