Dr Stacy Moore - The Psychology of Generations: Resilience, Risk & Reward
Manage episode 518808168 series 3628536
Alastair sits down with consultant-psychologist Dr Stacy Moore to explore how our “formative years” lay the tracks for the rest of our lives. From high parental expectations in immigrant families to the way tech is forcing analogue-born generations to re-wire, Stacy unpacks the research behind generational resilience. She argues that Gen Z’s emotional fluency is often misread as fragility, while Boomer stoicism can mask silent struggles. The conversation closes with science-backed mental-health habits that work at any age.
Stacy Moore Takeaways:
• Resilience looks different with each generation, and it is expression rather that capacity, that changes
• Gen Z’s openness may signal higher emotional intelligence, not weakness
• Boomer upbringing rewarded stoicism, often at the cost of mental-health dialogue
• Managers who switch from “tough love” to curiosity-led feedback gain trust across the age spectrum.
• Shared curiosity and story-telling out-perform stereotypes in bridging divides .
