Generations: The Real Differences between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and Silents-and What They Mean for America's Future

內容簡介

內容簡介 很多人認為嬰兒潮世代要為當前社會問題負責，而千禧世代買不起房子，是因為他們花太多錢在酪梨吐司上。Dr. Jean Twenge一一推翻這些刻板觀點。透過分析 3,900 萬人、橫跨六個世代的數據(其中一些數據追溯到近一世紀之前)，提出「技術變革」是每一代人獨特特徵背後的主要推動力。在這本開創性的著作中，Twenge 梳理了每一代人在性別、收入、政治、種族、性取向、婚姻、心理健康等方面的態度和生活方式變化，這些變化構成了每一代的鮮明特徵。無論你屬於哪一代，這本書都將永遠改變你對父母、同齡人、同事和孩子的看法，反思如何理解並尊重不同世代之間的差異，從而促進人與人之間的聯繫。書中研究的六個世代：沉默世代 (Silent Generation) 出生於1925-1945嬰兒潮世代(Baby Boomers) 出生於1946-1964X 世代(Generation X) 出生於1965-1979千禧世代 (Millennials) 出生於1980-1994Z 世代 (Generation Z) 出生於1995-2012α 世代 (Generation Alpha) 2013-2029 A groundbreaking, “lavishly informative” (The New York Times) 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.Upending the conventional theory that generational differences are caused by major events, Dr. Jean Twenge analyzes data on 39 million people from robust national surveys—some going back nearly a century—to show that changes in technology are the underlying driver of each generation’s unique makeup. In this revelatory work, Twenge outlines key shifts in attitudes and lifestyle choices that define each generation regarding gender, income, politics, race, sexuality, marriage, mental health, and much more.Surprising, engaging, and informative, Generations “gets you thinking about how appreciating generational differences can, ironically, bring us together” (Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author). It will forever change the way you view your parents, peers, coworkers, and children, no matter which generation you call your own.

各界推薦

各界推薦 An Amazon Best Book of May 2023: Think boomers are to blame for all of society’s ills, and millennials can’t afford to buy a home because they spent all their money on avocado toast? This fascinating book finally puts those tired tropes to rest. As psychology professor Jean M. Twenge (iGen, Generation Me) says, when you were born has a larger effect on your personality than the family who raised you. We meet the generation that stands apart for its voracious drug use, the generation suffering from a sex drought, the richest generation, learn the one question that drove two generations apart, and the best (and worst) years to be born. Each snappily-titled section (“why millennials feel poor even if they aren’t”) delivers a mind-changing revelation. Whether you grew up during the Vietnam War, as a latchkey kid, playing Oregon Trail, or receiving participation trophies—this book will transform the way you see yourself, and the people in your life. —Lindsay Powers, Amazon Editor
