Psychologists help create world’s biggest teen diary

The Anne Frank Trust UK is creating a Generation Diary, 70 years after Anne Frank’s final diary entry, which aims to highlight how teenagers today view themselves and the world around them.

A research team from the University’s School of Psychology is working with the Trust on the project to analyse the collection of digital diary entries. This will provide an empirical picture of the voice of Britain’s teenagers.

PhD student Kiran Purewal, working with Professor Dominic Abrams, will analyse entries to reveal the experiences and issues that are most central in the lives of young people today.
