“…individualism is a cultural system with many advantages. Yet recent culture seems to have crossed the line from individualism to hyperindividualism. For example, the self-focsued phrases are not just individualistic – they're also, well, wrong. ‘Just be yourself' sounds like good advice at first, but what if you're a jerk? What if you're a serial killer? Maybe you should be someone else. ‘Believe in yourself' is fine, but ‘anything is possible'? No, it's not. Expressing yourself, respecting yourself, and being honest with yourself are somewhat tautological but not usually directly harmful. But ‘you have to love yourself first' has a crucial flaw: people who really love themselves are called narcissists, and they make horrible relationship partners.” – Jean M. Twenge, Generation Me, 65.

Jean Twenge (psychologist; professor at San Diego State University) is regarded as the world expert on “generations”. She famously described millennials as “Generation Me” (also the name of her 2006 book) and first made the (controversial) connection back in 2017 between smartphones and the sharp uptick in anxiety and depression among Gen Z teens, which has since become one of our culture's top talking points. In her recent book, Generations: The Real Differences Between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and Silents―and What They Mean for America's Future she explains how themes such as narcissism, individualism, fear and tech addiction play out between the generations (including the Boomers, Xers, and the latest cohort, “the Polars”).In this chat we cover…Do millennials actually have it harder? Why do 60% of Gen Z girls have mental health problems? Why aren't young people aren't getting their driver's licenses? Is modern parenting setting kids up for failure? As well as the “slow life” phenomenon.You can catch Jean in Sydney at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas on 24-25 August, speaking at the following talks.The Machines Killing Our KidsThe Generation GulfContagious RealitiesSHOW NOTESSubscribe to Jean's Substack​, Generation TechHere's the teen mental health post I wrote on SubstackAnd here's the Substack post about the difference in young men's and women's political leaningsLearn more about the Festival of Dangerous Ideas here--If you need to know a bit more about me… head to my "about" pageFor more such conversations subscribe to my Substack newsletter, it's where I interact the most!Get your copy of my book, This One Wild and Precious LifeLet's connect on Instagram and WeAre8 Hosted on Acast.

Did you know there is a National Association for Self-Esteem? I had no idea. They feature the leading thinkers in the area of self-esteem and human potential. I think the self-esteem movement has its supporters and detractors as nearly any movement will have. It will have some practitioners who are sound, some who are off the wall, and some who give the movement a bad name. I'm not sure at all what camp the National Association falls in, but their website was…well…interesting. What started me thinking about this was an article quoting psychology Professor Jean Twenge. It said Americans born after 1970—including the so-called Generation X and Millennial Generation—have become an army of little narcissists.I'm no expert, but that analysis matches to a T what I see in young people these days. Of course, what I think I see is only what I see. Can this be backed up somewhere? Twenge goes on to say Among Americans who lived through the Great Depression and two world wars, between 1% and 2% experienced a major depressive episode in their lifetime. Suicide was more common among middle-aged people, not young people.How things have changed? Today, the lifetime rate for major depression is between 15% and 20%, [that's 10 times greater] it's an increase too large to be explained by improved case reporting. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for people ages 15 to 24, while rates have dropped for the middle aged. Why should Generation Me feel so much anxiety and pain when it has grown up in relative peace and technological and economic expansion? Boy, now there is a question. When you consider the kind of world they have lived in compared to the kind of world their grandfather lived in, good grief, why should they feel anxiety and pain? Well, let's look at some possible answers.

Whether you're a parent, a youth pastor, a teacher or a young person yourself, you've probably seen all of the headlines concerning Gen Z. Rates of depression and loneliness are surging, their relationship with technology is kind of troubling, and they are leaving the church in droves. We've talked about these trends a lot on the Holy Post, but we're not alone. Tenx10 is a new collaborative discipleship initiative whose mission is to make faith matter more for this younger generation. We've partnered with Tenx10 to create this series and to hear from experts in each episode about the challenges young people and those who care about them are facing. One of those experts is Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology at San Diego State University, and an author with an expertise in generational differences and technology. She's known for her books iGen, Generation Me, and The Narcissism Epidemic, and she's argued that smartphones were the most likely cause behind the sudden increase in mental health issues among teens after 2012.

Today we welcome Jean Twenge to the podcast. Jean is professor of psychology at San Diego State University. She frequently gives talks and seminars on generational differences and technology based on a dataset of 39 million people. Her audiences have included college faculty and staff, parent groups, military personnel, camp directors, and corporate executives. Her work has been repeatedly featured by the media. She has authored more than 180 scientific publications and books including iGen, Generation Me, and The Narcissism Epidemic. Her latest book is called Generations. In this episode, I talk to Jean Twenge about the real differences between the generations. Did you know that our current time has the most number of living generations to co-exist? Unfortunately, there is often conflict and miscommunication between them. According to Jean, this is largely due to how the advancement of tech has shaped major life experiences. She shares interesting statistics about each cohort and debunks common misconceptions about baby boomers, millennials, gen z, and others. We also touch on the topics of narcissism, polarization, mental health, gender identity, and compassion. Website: jeantwenge.comTwitter: @jean_twenge Topics01:38 The real differences between generations05:50 The silent generation09:08 Conflict between cohorts13:33 Narcissism in different generations21:09 Generation Z27:34 The income inequality between boomers and millennials30:42 Are we coddling students?36:38 The political trajectory of generations42:10 The Greatest Generation 43:49 Generation Alpha45:05 Uniting all generations

The United States is currently home to six generations of people. With her clear-eyed and insightful voice, Twenge explores what the Silents and Boomers want out of the rest of their lives; how Gen X-ers are facing middle age; the ideals of Millennials as parents and in the workplace; and how Gen Z has been changed by COVID, among other fascinating topics. Shermer and Twenge discuss: untangling interacting causal variables (age, gender, race, religion, politics, SES, big events, slow trends, time-period effects, and generational effects) • fuzzy sets/conceptual categories • how historical events effect generations: the Great Depression, WWII, the Cold War and its end, AIDS, 9/11, The Great Recession, Covid-19, #metoo, #BLM, trans, AI • how long-term trends effect generations • technology as a driver of generational differences • civil rights, women's rights, gay rights, trans rights • abortion and reproductive choice • education • religion • marriage, children, home ownership, sex, birthrates, divorce • happiness, meaningfulness, purpose • mental health. Jean M. Twenge, PhD, a professor of psychology at San Diego State University, is the author of more than a hundred scientific publications and several books based on her research, including Generations, iGen, and Generation Me. Her research has been covered in Time, The Atlantic, Newsweek, the New York Times, USA TODAY, and the Washington Post. She has also been featured on Today, Good Morning America, Fox and Friends, CBS This Morning, and NPR. She lives in San Diego with her husband and three daughters.

A groundbreaking, revelatory portrait of the six generations that currently live in the United States and how they connect, conflict, and compete with one another—from the acclaimed author of Generation Me and iGen.The United States is currently home to six generations of people:-the Silents, born 1925–1945-Baby Boomers, born 1946–1964-Gen X, born 1965–1979-Millennials, born 1980–1994-Gen Z, born 1995–2012-and the still-to-be-named cohorts born after 2012.They have had vastly different life experiences and thus, one assumes, they must have vastly diverging beliefs and behaviors. But what are those differences, what causes them, and how deep do they actually run?(Courtesy: Simon & Shuster)

A groundbreaking, revelatory portrait of the six generations that currently live in the United States and how they connect, conflict, and compete with one another-from the acclaimed author of Generation Me and iGen. The United States is currently home to six generations of people: -the Silents, born 1925-1945 -Baby Boomers, born 1946-1964 -Gen X, born 1965-1979 -Millennials, born 1980-1994 -Gen Z, born 1995-2012 -and the still-to-be-named cohorts born after 2012. They have had vastly different life experiences and thus, one assumes, they must have vastly diverging beliefs and behaviors. But what are those differences, what causes them, and how deep do they actually run? Professor of psychology and "reigning expert on generational change" (Lisa Wade, PhD, author of American Hookup), Jean Twenge does a deep dive into a treasure trove of long-running, government-funded surveys and databases to answer these questions. Are we truly defined by major historical events, such as the Great Depression for the Silents and September 11 for Millennials? Or, as Twenge argues, is it the rapid evolution of technology that differentiates the generations? With her clear-eyed and insightful voice, Twenge explores what the Silents and Boomers want out of the rest of their lives; how Gen X-ers are facing middle age; the ideals of Millennials as parents and in the workplace; and how Gen Z has been changed by COVID, among other fascinating topics. Surprising, engaging, and informative, Generations will forever change the way you view your parents, peers, coworkers, and children, no matter which generation you call your own.

For more than 30 years, Jean Twenge has been studying how generational differences affect the workplace, family life, public policy, interpersonal relationships, and individual identity. Her research has been foundational in many of the current culture war discussions, including in Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff's seminal book The Coddling of the American Mind. Jean is the author of seven books, including Generation Me and iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy–and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood. Her new book is Generations: The Real Differences between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers and Silents and What they Mean for America's Future. In this conversation, she talks with Meghan about what she's learned from working with a dataset of 39 million people born between 1925 and 2012. She dispels some of the most common myths about certain generations (for instance that millennials are broke) and talks about the concept of “fast” versus “slow” life strategies. She also talks about how the 1950s got codified as a symbol of traditional values when in fact it was an anonymous case in many ways. For instance, more women were enrolled in college in the 1930s than in the 1950s.    Jean stays overtime for paying Substack subscribers to share her feelings about her own age generation. That happens to be Generation X, which is one of Meghan's favorite topics. Meghan asks why Gen X is the real "greatest generation."

She lives in San Diego with her husband and three daughters.

In this episode, Xavier Bonilla has a dialogue with Jean Twenge about the current generations in our society. They discuss how we define generations and why its important, technological changes being central to generational changes, and the ranges of generations. They talk about upcoming trends for Polars/alphas, Gen Z and the connection between increased mental health with increased social media use, and the changing social, economic, and educational dynamics with Millennials. They discuss Gen X as the middle child of generations and their emphasis on toughness, Boomers centrality and the ripple effects of the deaths of despair. They talk about the bipartisan nature of Silents, future generations, and many more topics. Jean Twenge is a social psychologist and professor of psychology at San Diego State University.

This week my guest is Jean Twenge, a renowned psychologist, professor, and author who has been one of the world's leading researchers investigating generational differences and the impacts of technology. This includes her books The Narcissism Epidemic, Generation Me, and my personal favorite iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy–and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood. In this episode we explore Jean's wonderful collection of work through the lens of her newest book, Generations, where we investigate how Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have been shaped by technology and the implications this holds for the future. This takes us on a tour of discussions around the animosity between generations, mental health, personality traits like narcissism, regulations for social media platforms, and more. or follow her at twitter.com/jean_twenge ** Learn more about Singularity: ⁠⁠⁠⁠su.org⁠⁠⁠⁠ Host:⁠⁠⁠⁠ Steven Parton⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠ /⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music by: Amine el Filali

NARCISSISTEN: självupptagen, överdriver sin betydelse. Det narcissistiska raseriet – inte lätt för närstående. Narcissism i kändiskulturen och i ”Generation Me”. En lyssnare påtalar hur narcissism smyger sig in i språket. Man säger: "Han berättade för MIG att..." (underförstått INTE för dig) fast det väsentliga är att han BERÄTTADE något (inte för vem).En annan lyssnare konstaterar narcissism i CV-hysterin. Man måste kanske putsa det egna skyltfönstret för att framstå som perfekt vid försäljningen av sig själv. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Julie Soto writes amazing erotica, but that's just the tip (hehehe) of the creative iceberg. This woman is a FORCE of a writer, and it seems that whatever she does, she wins awards for it, and yes, there are awards for fanfiction. I became obsessed with her writing instantly upon starting a story, and insisted on becoming her real life friend. I'm so glad I did, because she is incredibly hilarious, kind, talented, and humble... SUCH a joy to be around, and thrilling to work with creatively! You can find her on fanfic websites as Lovesbitca8, and watch for her forthcoming musical "Generation Me" once we are able to be back in theaters!

Paul Howe's book Teen Spirit: How Adolescence Transformed the Adult World (Cornell UP, 2020) offers a novel and provocative perspective on how we came to be living in an age of political immaturity and social turmoil. Award-winning author, Paul Howe, argues it's because a teenage mentality has slowly gripped the adult world. Howe contends that many features of how we live today--some regrettable, others beneficial--can be traced to the emergence of a more defined adolescent stage of life in the early twentieth century, when young people started spending their formative, developmental years with peers, particularly in formal school settings. He shows how adolescent qualities have slowly seeped upwards, where they have gradually reshaped the norms and habits of adulthood. The effects over the long haul, Howe contends, have been profound, in both the private realm and in the public arena of political, economic, and social interaction. Our teenage traits remain part of us as we move into adulthood. We now need instruction manuals for adulting Teen Spirit challenges our assumptions about the boundaries between adolescence and adulthood. Yet despite a cultural system that seems to be built on the ethos of Generation Me, it's not all bad. In fact, there is an equally impressive rise in creativity, diversity, and tolerance within society: all traits stemming from core components of the adolescent character. Howe's bold and suggestive approach to analyzing the teen in all of us helps make sense of the impulsivity driving society and to think anew about civic re-engagement.

Paul Howe's book Teen Spirit: How Adolescence Transformed the Adult World (Cornell UP, 2020) offers a novel and provocative perspective on how we came to be living in an age of political immaturity and social turmoil. Award-winning author, Paul Howe, argues it's because a teenage mentality has slowly gripped the adult world. Howe contends that many features of how we live today--some regrettable, others beneficial--can be traced to the emergence of a more defined adolescent stage of life in the early twentieth century, when young people started spending their formative, developmental years with peers, particularly in formal school settings. He shows how adolescent qualities have slowly seeped upwards, where they have gradually reshaped the norms and habits of adulthood. The effects over the long haul, Howe contends, have been profound, in both the private realm and in the public arena of political, economic, and social interaction. Our teenage traits remain part of us as we move into adulthood. We now need instruction manuals for adulting Teen Spirit challenges our assumptions about the boundaries between adolescence and adulthood. Yet despite a cultural system that seems to be built on the ethos of Generation Me, it's not all bad. In fact, there is an equally impressive rise in creativity, diversity, and tolerance within society: all traits stemming from core components of the adolescent character.

„Lass mich das Problem erkennen, damit es gelöst werden kann." - EIN KURS IN WUNDERN Heute gibt's die Folge #56 vom happycoollove Podcast. Letzte Woche habe ich mich mit einem Kollegen über die Generation Y unterhalten. Er selber gehört dieser Generation, die auch Millennials oder Generation Me genannt wird, an. Deshalb haben wir darüber geredet, was seine Generation für Herausforderungen hat. Was genau macht die Menschen, die zwischen den frühen 1980ern und den späten 1990ern geboren worden sind, aus. Das schauen wir uns zusammen in der heutigen Folge näher an. EGAL, OB GENERATION Y ODER NICHT: IN WAHRHEIT HABEN WIR ALLE NUR EIN PROBLEMIch habe viel über die Unterhaltung mit meinem Co-Working-Kollegen nachgedacht. Haben wir anderen Generationen zu wenig Empathie für die Generation Y und ihre Probleme? Und dann passiert bei mir immer wieder, was bei mir passieren muss. Ich frage mich, was „Ein Kurs in Wundern“ dazu sagen würde. Wie können wir Herausforderungen verstehen? Wir reflektieren deshalb diese Frage über die Millennials mit Hilfe von „Ein Kurs in Wundern„. Dafür hole ich folgende Zitate aus „Ein Kurs in Wundern“ und Lektion 79 zur Hilfe. „Alle Kinder GOTTES sind besonders und kein Kind GOTTES ist besonders.“„Du denkst du hast viele verschiedene Probleme, aber in Wirklichkeit hast du nur ein Problem: Deine Trennung von GOTT.“Lektion 79: „Lass mich das Problem erkennen, damit es gelöst werden kann.“LEKTION 79: LASS MICH DAS PROBLEM ERKENNEN Lektion 79 von „Ein Kurs in Wundern“ hält perfekt fest, woran wir wirklich immer wieder arbeiten können, um die Ursache unserer Probleme zu verstehen. Deshalb schauen wir uns in der heutigen Folge genau diese Lektion zusammen näher an. Denn das ist meine Schlussfolgerung: Jede Generation — egal, ob Generation Y, Generation X oder die Babyboomers — kommt mit ihren Herausforderungen. Für mich bilden diese Herausforderungen nur die Symptome der jeweiligen Epoche ab. Im absoluten Sinne haben wir alle dennoch immer nur ein Problem. Wir haben vergessen, wer wir in Wahrheit sind. Solange wir das nicht verstehen, können wir unsere individuellen Probleme bzw. kollektive Probleme, nicht nachhaltig lösen. Danke für dein LichtDeine Peri

In March 1969, Henry Kissinger forwarded to President Lyndon B. Johnson a report produced by the CIA entitled Restless Youth, sub-titled What Makes Johnny Riot. The report begins by laying out the historical ubiquity of youthful protest: “Student dissidence is not a recent phenomenon. It was a periodic occurrence in Ancient Greece and Imperial Rome. Socrates complained that students of his time had ‘bad manners, contempt for authority, disrespect for older people.' Medieval Cambridge and Oxford experienced periods when protesting students burned and sacked the town…” The new temporary exhibition at the House of European History which borrows the title Restless Youth agrees that every generation has its protest movements. The show subtitled Growing up in Europe 1945 to Now, highlights four recent periods, the after war era of the late 40s and early 50s (Europe's Quiet Generation?); the late 60s (Generation Revolution); the 80s (Between Despair and Hope) and the 2000s (Generation Me?). A subject that most Western Europeans are not familiar with is the extent of youth unrest in the Soviet block and the show surprises with examples of youth protest in the East such as Russian punk outfits, and a map of Czechoslovakia produced by the authorities which shows county by county which have the highest percentages of young males with long hair. The show is very rich in both physical objects and audio visual historic material. Kieran Burns, the lead curator of the show gives us a rundown. www.historia-europa.ep.eu

They often call us “Generation Me.” We are the generation that is selfish, narcissistic, and obsessed with getting Facebook likes. But why? Why are we this way? In this brief episode, I talk about the history of the West and the deep underlying fears that cause us to be so obsessed with our own image. (Note: narcissism here is used in the colloquial and not clinical sense.)

A recording of the debate at the Battle of Ideas 2018 on Sunday 14 October at the Barbican, London. Today, everything seems to be an expression of contemporary ‘narcissism’, from dismissing millennials as Generation Me to describing Donald Trump as the ‘narcissist in chief’. It seems your boss or co-workers, everyone on Tinder, celebrities, even your parents are all ‘narcissists’. But has it become a lazy cliché? Or is it an accurate diagnosis of today’s identity-driven politics, which puts the self and self-esteem centre stage? Why do we reach so quickly for therapeutic categories to understand politics? Why has the idea of narcissism become so pervasive?

This episode is on a topic that I find fascinating – the cultural issues that underlie our parenting. I actually think this issue is so important that I covered it in episode 1 of the podcast, which was really the first episode after the introductory one where I gave some information on what the show was going to be about. But recently I read a book called (http://amzn.to/2FRg5mm)  (Affiliate link) by Jean Twenge, a Professor of Psychology at San Diego State University, which discusses some of the cultural contexts that have led to the generation of people born since 1970 to develop a certain set of characteristics that sometimes seem very strange to those who were born before us, and may be leading us to raise children who are just a bit too individualistic. In this episode I discuss some of those characteristics and what implications they have for the way we parent our own children, and offer some thoughts on how we can shift that our approach if we decide we want to.

Much has been said about the millennial generation (aka Generation Y, aka Digital Natives, aka Generation Rent, aka Echo Boomers, aka Generation Me). Are they self-involved, narcissistic, lazy, pragmatic idealists who take a lot of selfies? This week Chris and James conduct the Public Announcement Summer Sixteen Millennial Survey. They ask four core millennials–Amardeep, Carson, Mitch and Rachel–a laundry list of questions to help better understand the largest generation in Western History. Some of their answers may actually surprise you.

It doesn't take a psychologist to see narcissism in our culture of selfies. But we decided to talk to one anyway. Jean Twenge is a researcher and author of the books The Narcissism Epidemic, and Generation Me.

NOTE: As we prepare to begin a new year, I am making a few changes to the way I create and deliver content to you. The first such change: the main podcast will now be published on each Monday. – Ray Edwards If you market products or services of any type, your audience, your customer list, and your workplace is filled with them: Millenials. They are maligned, misrepresented, and misunderstood. Cutting through all this noise and disinformation about the rise of tomorrow's leaders can enhance your family, your relationships, and yes… your business. In this episode: This week we turn the tables and I interview Sean – who is my c0host for this show, our company's Director of Strategic Development, and – surprise! – a Millenial. How to receive wisdom from your adult children. The surprising element of life that is vital to Baby Boomers, but very low on the priority scale for Millenials… and why understanding  this is your key to connecting with them. Who are Millenials, and how are they different from other generations? Are Millennials really suffering from entitlement and narcissism? What you must know if you want your marketing messages to hit home with Millenials… and the mistakes you must absolutely avoid. Why (and how) Millenials will change the world for the better.

Spiritual Foundations “A wise son makes a glad father.” – Proverbs 15:20 “He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.” – Proverbs 13:20 Don't just teach your children, learn from them. Featured Segment: Marketing to Millenials Some fact about Millenials to set the context for our discussion: Millennials are the demographic cohort following Generation X. Most researchers and commentators use birth years ranging from the early 1980s to the early 2000s Authors William Strauss and Neil Howe believe that each generation has common characteristics that give it a specific character, with four basic generational archetypes, repeating in a cycle. In their theory, summarized in their book The Fourth Turning, Millennials will become more like the “civic-minded” G.I. Generation. Jean Twenge, the author of the 2006 book Generation Me, attributes Millennials with the traits of confidence and tolerance, but also identifies a sense of entitlement and narcissism based on personality surveys that showed increasing narcissism among Millennials compared to preceding generations when they were teens and in their twenties. The University of Michigan's “Monitoring the Future” study of high school seniors (conducted continually since 1975) and the American Freshman survey, conducted by UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute of new college students since 1966, showed an increase in the proportion of students who consider wealth a very important attribute, from 45% for Baby Boomers (surveyed between 1967 and 1985) to 70% for Gen Xers, and 75% for Millennials. But the percentage who said it was important to keep abreast of political affairs fell, from 50% for Baby Boomers to 39% for Gen Xers, and 35% for Millennials. The idea of “developing a meaningful philosophy of life” decreased the most across generations, from 73% for Boomers to 45% for Millennials. The willingness to be involved in an environmental cleanup program dropped from 33% for Baby Boomers to 21% for Millennials. In March 2014, the Pew Research Center issued a report about how “Millennials in adulthood” are “detached from institutions and networked with friends.” The report says Millennials are more upbeat than older adults about America's future, and 49% of Millennials say the country’s best years are ahead. Interestingly, they're the first generation in the modern era to have higher levels of student loan debt and unemployment. Most this data was obtained from this article at Wikipedia.

Sean's New Book – Highly Recommended Reading American Resurrection: The Failure of the U.S. Constitution and the Rebirth of a Nation The Constitution has failed, and most people don’t even realize it. Over the past century, both Republicans and Democrats have forgotten its purpose… and our nation’s great destiny.  No one party is to blame. We have just forgotten the reason why our nation exists. Hidden behind misunderstood and empty party slogans, our country is caught in a confused struggle to do what is right. We have cannibalized our principles and forgotten who we are. This book is an attempt to reawaken the giant that changed the world. The ideas that the led to our nation’s founding still have the power to radically change history. We only need to remember them. Liberal or conservative, this book will challenge you to see the world in a new and powerful way. Sacred cows in both parties will be put to the test. And hopefully, our nation can begin the journey back to greatness. The United States still has a destiny to fulfill in the world, the only question is… will we do what is necessary to realize that future?

Political scientists and lawyers have had their chance to diagnose the causes of the obvious ills in the American body politic, and to write some prescriptions. It’s high time to give some other faculties a chance. In this week’s podcast, we talk to a psychologist, Dr. Jean Twenge, of San Diego State University and the author of “Generation Me.” Twenge’s research often involves psychological differences between generations. Her writings are smart, thought provoking and very in tune with the times. One research finding we talk about in the podcast is that the well-documented decline in the trust Americans have in government and big institutions mirrors a decline in trust we have for each other. We just generally trust people less than we have in the recent past. So which is the chicken and which is the egg, less trust in people or in “the system”? It is all scrambled. Twenge suspects that a big part of this change is that Americans’ identity – our sense of individualism – is much less bound up in belonging to community, traditions, institutions and groups than it used to be. If that’s the case, it makes sense that we are more alienated from politics and government. Twenge has found this trend is exaggerated among young people, which is depressing. Millennials, she says, are especially uninterested in the civic world around them and less idealistic. And she says they have good reason.

“It is a commonplace of social criticism that America has become, over the past half century or so, a nation of narcissists.” From this opening, Elizabeth Lunbeck‘s new book proceeds to offer a fascinating narrative of how this came to be, exploring the entwined histories of narcissism, psychoanalysis, and modernity in 20th and 21st century America. Narcissism permeated 1970s discourse on America, its decline, the relationship of that decline to material consumption, and the physical and emotional pathologies associated with these transformations. The Americanization of Narcissism (Harvard University Press, 2014) takes readers into the deeper history of the emergence, complexities, and metamorphoses of the study of narcissism in the work of psychoanalysts Heinz Kohut and Otto Kernberg in the early 20th century, at the same time offering a wonderfully rich account situating them in the larger context of interlocutors that included Freud, Joan Riviere, and others. The book concludes with a thoughtful reflection on the recent resurgence of the idea of “healthy narcissism,” its relationship to the notion of charismatic leaders (like Steve Jobs), and the place of “Generation Me” in all of this. Lunbeck’s book should be required reading for anyone working in the history of the human sciences, of psychoanalysis, and of the modern US. It’s also an enlightening and very readable story that helpfully and productively problematizes a commonplace (narcissism = bad = American) that permeates contemporary popular culture, from TV shows to online personality quizzes.

It’s also an enlightening and very readable story that helpfully and productively problematizes a commonplace (narcissism = bad = American) that permeates contemporary popular culture, from TV shows to online personality quizzes.

“It is a commonplace of social criticism that America has become, over the past half century or so, a nation of narcissists.” From this opening, Elizabeth Lunbeck‘s new book proceeds to offer a fascinating narrative of how this came to be, exploring the entwined histories of narcissism, psychoanalysis, and modernity in 20th and 21st century America. Narcissism permeated 1970s discourse on America, its decline, the relationship of that decline to material consumption, and the physical and emotional pathologies associated with these transformations. The Americanization of Narcissism (Harvard University Press, 2014) takes readers into the deeper history of the emergence, complexities, and metamorphoses of the study of narcissism in the work of psychoanalysts Heinz Kohut and Otto Kernberg in the early 20th century, at the same time offering a wonderfully rich account situating them in the larger context of interlocutors that included Freud, Joan Riviere, and others.

Decades of telling children that they are special has engendered a generation of students who feel entitled to good grades and special treatment without being encumbered by the need to earn them. The fall out creates many challenges for teachers who must deal with this sense of entitlement is their classrooms. Our guests offer, perspective, practical insights and solutions. Robert J. MacKenzie, Ed.D., is an educational psychologist and founder of the Setting Limits program. Jean M. Twenge is Professor of Psychology at San Diego State University and the author of Generation Me, The Narcissism Epidemic.

Sexuality and Faces - How does our "Gaydar" work ? Most of us think we're pretty good at guessing when somebody's gay or straight, but what signals are we using to make our decision, and how often are we right ? Psychologists at Queen Mary University of London are, for the first time, trying to isolate the individual signals and patterns in somebody's face, in order to work out exactly what motivates us to make a snap decision about sexuality. Using cutting edge computer imagery, researchers have found a way of transferring male facial expressions onto female faces and vice versa, which means they can work out exactly how our "gaydar" works. Dr Qazi Rahman, assistant professor in Cognitive Biology, and PHd student, William Jolly, are hoping that their research will challenge stereotypes and prejudice by increasing awareness of how quickly, and often inaccurately, people classify each other. The Me Generation Professor Jean Twenge from San Diego State University in California has already coined the phrase, "Generation Me", describing the growing number of people who take it for granted that the self comes first. And she's less than flattering abut the downsides of this fundamental cultural shift. She talks to Claudia Hammond about her latest research using data mined from the American Freshman Survey. This study captures students' attitudes right back to 1966, and compares how current students rate themselves and their abilities compared to the generation 45 years ago. Unsurprisingly, she finds that the younger generation is more likely to view themselves as above average, even though these attitudes aren't born out by the facts. IQ Tests and Learning Disabilities Psychologists are considering whether guidelines on how learning disabilities are assessed should be revised, following concerns that IQ test scores could be depriving people of a formal diagnosis, and therefore access to services. Dr Simon Whitaker, consultant clinical psychologist and senior visiting research fellow at Huddersfield University, has completed research which raises questions about the reliability and consistency of IQ scores for people with learning difficulties. Current rules mean people must score less than 70 on an IQ test as well as fulfilling other criteria but Dr Whitaker claims IQ tests aren't reliable enough and that those missing out on a diagnosis are also missing out on access to services. Dr Theresa Joyce, consultant clinical psychologist and the person leading the British Psychological Society Review on how learning disabilities are diagnosed and assessed, tells Claudia Hammond that a range of scores is used before a diagnosis is reached.

Research presented at the conference of the Association for Psychological Science found that today's college students are far less empathic than their counterparts 30 years ago. Christie Nicholson reports

Jeff Nyquist interviews Jean Twenge, author of "Generation Me", about the narcissism of the younger generation. Twenge argues that those born after 1970 are more self-centered, more disrespectful of authority and more depressed than ever before.
