Description

Now in an extensively revised and expanded second edition, this text presents important advances in the psychological study of gender differences and similarities across the lifespan. New contributors, additional topics, and many completely new chapters provide a broad overview of current knowledge and bring the field thoroughly up to date. Diverse theoretical approaches and research traditions are represented, including biological, social-cognitive, psychoanalytic, and self psychological perspectives. Covered are such topics as the organization and activational effects of sex hormones; evolutionary influences on sex-role behaviors; processes of gender development and socialization; gender inequality and stereotypes; crosscultural issues; and more. An ideal text for advanced undergraduate- or graduate-level courses, the volume is also a useful sourcebook for researchers.
