Jean M. Twenge

Jean M. Twenge is a prominent American psychologist and author known for her research on generational differences, particularly focusing on the effects of technology and social media on younger generations. She has published extensively on topics such as adolescence, mental health, and identity, and is recognized for her critical analysis of how cultural shifts impact youth behavior and self-identification. Recently, Twenge has been in the news for her findings indicating a significant decline in the number of young Americans identifying as transgender or non-binary, suggesting a potential cultural shift away from the previous trends of gender identity exploration.
