In the summer of 2007 Dr. Jager received his Ph.D in Developmental Psychology from the University of Michigan. Dr. Jager’s research attempts to explicate the complex relation between the constellation of one’s social statuses, the development of one’s sense of self, and the growth of functioning (e.g., mental health, substance use/abuse, and physical health) over the course of early adolescence and young adulthood. Finally, while examining the above, Dr. Jager pays particular attention to (1) contextual transitions associated with early adulthood and their impact on functioning, and (2) the dual impact of distal/adolescent and proximal/early adulthood factors on subsequent adjustment.
