Recenzii

'This stimulating, rich volume reflects the full array of gender theories, from hormones and evolution to socialization, social roles, identity, and culture. Classroom instructors, students of gender, and colleagues catching up on the latest research in this popular area will all find this [book] an invaluable, provocative resource.' - Susan T. Fiske, PhD, Princeton University 'From the discussion of biological influences in gender as fluid and dynamic, to the enhanced coverage of the subtle influences of power and status on gender differences and similarities, the volume will challenge students' preconceptions and open their eyes to the ways in which gender structures our social world.' - Peter Glick, PhD, Lawrence University

Descriere

To what extent does gender influence our behavior, thoughts, and feelings? How do "nature" and "nurture" interact to shape our identities as female or male? And what are the effects of gender on the ways we are perceived and treated by others? The second edition of this important text and reference confronts the central questions pertaining to gender differences and similarities across the lifespan. Rather than focusing on a particular viewpoint, the volume is carefully designed to foster comparison among different lines of psychological research and provide a broad survey of cutting-edge work in the field.
