Dr.
Jager is a post-doctoral research fellow for the University
of Michigan Addiction Research Center (UMARC). 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.
