iGen

Jean M. Twenge’s work delves into the distinct characteristics and behaviors of the generation born between 1995 and 2012, often referred to as iGen. Capturing the essence of a cohort shaped by unprecedented access to technology and social media, Twenge interrogates how this digital landscape profoundly influences their social interactions, mental health, and views on identity.

Through extensive research and compelling anecdotes, she highlights the unique experiences of iGen, examining their preferences, challenges, and the cultural shifts impacting their lives. Twenge uncovers a generation grappling with the nuances of growing up in a digital world, revealing profound insights into their values and motivations. This exploration not only provides a clearer understanding of today’s youth but also raises crucial questions about the future of societal engagement and personal connections in an increasingly interconnected world.
