David S. Yeager, the Raymond Dickson Centennial Professor within the Department of Psychology at UT Austin, will deliver research from his new book, 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People during a lunchtime seminar on Wednesday, October 9.

The co-PI of the National Study of Learning Mindsets, the Texas Mindset Initiative, and the Texas Behavioral Science and Policy Institute, Yeager is interested in understanding the processes shaping adolescent development, especially how social cognitive factors interact with structural and physiological factors to create positive or negative trajectories for youth.  He is also interested in learning how to influence these psychological processes, so as to improve developmental and educational outcomes for youth.  

All members of the Princeton community—undergraduates, graduate students, fellows, staff, and faculty—are invited. Lunch will be served at 12:15 with a presentation beginning at 12:20 and time embedded for discussion. Please RSVP for lunch by October 2.
