Gender: Psychological Perspectives examines the research and theory from psychology and related fields in order to evaluate the behavior, biology, and social context in which both women and men function. This book examines the topic of gender the behaviors and attitudes that relate to (but are not entirely congruent with) biological sex. Although research and scholarship form the basis of this book, Brannon supplements the review of scholarly research with personal, narrative accounts of gender-relevant aspects of people's lives as well as highlights from a cross-cultural perspective of gender. The personal narrative and diversity highlights help to balance the research-based scholarship with the personal experience of gender. Highlights of the Fourth Edition: Balanced coverage of gender with attention to and critical analysis of both men and women's issues. Headlines sections from newspapers, journals, and magazines expose students to the bias that can be found in the media and encourage readers to think critically about the material that they read. Ten are new to this edition. Considering Diversity sections provide a close up view of important topics related to the growing field of diversity within gender studies. Each chapter provides some context for a closer examination of a cross-cultural topic. New chapter on the process and influences on developing gender identity (Ch. 6, Developing Gender identity). Chapter 5, Theories of Gender, is now devoted to theories of gender development, including psychodynamic and social theories. More than 500 new references.

Well written and well researched
| Customer Rating: | | After reading the book myself, I have found the author's topic to be well researched. The content and conclusions are supported by researched and cited documentation, and the examples assist one in keeping the topics in perspective. The author's only bias seems to be encouragement of impartiality, particularly in research and other academic settings. This book will remain on my shelf long after my classes are complete. There's a lot of good 'meat' on the subject within. |
Bla Bla Bla
| Customer Rating: | | This book is possibly the worst I have read in a long time. It blabs on making inane points with specific examples that justify the exact inane point. It even says "science" was started in Europe in the 16th century...um sure... The According to the Media and According to the Research sections are rediculous. The author's own personal bias towards physchology is more easily seen than say Michael Moore's bias towards America in Stupid White Men. This book is a waste of your time. |
