DAVID YEAGER, PhD, is a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and a cofounder of the Texas Behavioral Science and Policy Institute. He is best known for his research conducted with Carol Dweck, Angela Duckworth, and Greg Walton on short but powerful interventions that influence adolescent behaviors such as motivation, engagement, healthy eating, bullying, stress, mental health, and more. He has consulted for Google, Microsoft, Disney, and the World Bank, as well as for the White House and the governments in California, Texas, and Norway. His research has been featured in The New York Times Magazine, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Scientific American, CNN, Fox News, The Guardian, The Atlantic, and more. Yeager is the only developmental scientist to have won all three of the major awards for early career contributions to developmental psychology, and the only to have won “best paper” awards in four different fields: behavioral science, social psychology, developmental psychology, and education. Clarivate Web of Science ranks Yeager as one of the top 0.1 percent most influential psychologists in the world over the past decade. Prior to his career as a scientist, he was a middle school teacher and a basketball coach. He earned his PhD and MA at Stanford University and his BA and MEd at the University of Notre Dame.
