Full Description
The Psychology of Sex and Gender offers a full and vibrant picture of the field, providing students with contemporary examples, balanced coverage of men and women, and a grounding in psychological science. Meeting the needs of gender science today, the authors present classic and cutting-edge research findings, historical contexts, examples from popular culture, cross-cultural universality and variation, and coverage of non-binary identities. In keeping with the growing scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL), in each chapter students are asked to think critically, to identify and evaluate their own myths and misconceptions, and to participate in real-world debates on topics at the forefront of the field.
