The Psychology of Gender

By Anne E. Beall

Book Overview

To what extent does gender influence our behavior, thoughts, and feelings? How do "nature" and "nurture" interact to shape our identities as female or male? And what are the effects of gender on the ways we are perceived and treated by others? The second edition of this important text and reference confronts the central questions pertaining to gender differences and similarities across the lifespan. Rather than focusing on a particular viewpoint, the volume is carefully designed to foster comparison among different lines of psychological research and provide a broad survey of cutting-edge work in the field.

Overall a very nice and smooth transaction and the book was in the condition that was described. Thank you.

Informative text book

I purchased this book as a required text for the University of Kentucky doctoral program but would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in studying male/female differences and similarities.
