Material Detail

This gender studies textbook provides a comprehensive exploration of the psychology of gender, examining biological, social, and cultural influences on gender identity, roles, and behaviors. Divided into ten modules, the book begins by defining the psychology of gender and the research methods used to study it. It then delves into biological factors such as chromosomes and hormones, followed by theories of gender identity. The text critically evaluates gender differences in physical, cognitive, and emotional abilities, as well as its impact on sexuality, relationships, education, and the workplace. Additionally, it explores gender’s role in physical and mental health, as well as in aggression and crime. A historical gender timeline provides context, and supplementary student resources, a glossary, and references support further learning. This edition also includes updates and changes to reflect the evolving discourse on gender.
