Description and Table of Contents
Description
'Gender and Psychology' provides a balanced overview of existing gender research in psychology, deliberately adopting a multiple perspective approach. The book begins by introducing the reader to the main theoretical standpoints and debates in the field. The following chapters cover major issues which are of central importance to the topic: emotion, cognition, identity and masculinity. The book is divided into three sections: 'Themes and Perspectives' considers meta-issues, such as debates around sexuality, feminism and biology; 'The Life Span' looks at the role of gender from childhood to old age; and 'Health, Well-being and Society' surveys the place of gender in relation to key social concerns. Written by a team of European scholars, the book includes exercises, discussion topics and activities, as well as suggestions for further reading.
