Making Modern Lives

Author(s): McLeod & Yates

The results of Professor Lyn Yates seven-year study that tracked Melbourne students from different schools through secondary education show that school culture can have a large impact on student's perceptions of themselves.

The study's findings have formed the basis of the book, Making Modern Lives, co-authored by Professor Yates and Deakin University's Dr Julie McLeod. Making Modern Lives reveals the effects of local school cultures on young people's choices, attitudes, values and self-perception.
