So, what is “generational studies”?

8 of 10

Generational Studies

​

​

“Generational Studies” is the idea that there

are distinct trends that we see dividing the

norms, values, attitudes, and mores of

people depending on when they were born.

Note:

Not all scholars agree on the theory of “Generational Studies” because there are exceptions to all of the rules. With the emergence of more “cuspers” this has become more disputed.
