About Emily Ye:
Emily Ye joined the PhD program in Management and Organizations at NYU Stern in 2022. Her research interests broadly surround understanding how age and gender influence attitudes, behavior, and impression management strategies in organizations and the broader society. In her main line of work, she researches perceived maturity and maturity work (behaviors that individuals deliberately engage in to appear more mature to others) in organizations, defining the two constructs and examining their workplace consequences.
In other projects, she is exploring the effects of occupational age stereotypes on workplace age discrimination, identifying the stereotype content of age-gender intersecting groups (i.e., younger, middle-aged, and older women and men), investigating attitudes toward individuals in romantic relationships with large age gaps, and understanding how women manage gender stereotypes in the workplace.
Emily graduated from Amherst College, double majoring in Psychology (with Honors) and Statistics. Before starting graduate school at Stern, she worked as an analyst for a diabetes-focused market research firm in San Francisco, California.
