Originally published in 1993. The essays in this book collectively
seek to illuminate the role of communication and sex-role
socialization throughout the life cycle. Section 1 addresses some
important issues and behaviours that have an impact on the
beginnings of the socialization process. Section 2 covers
socialization later on in relationships, the workplace and the
political arena while section 3 looks at manifestations of
socialization through communication strategies and skills. Finally
section 4 addresses ways to alter socialization through
instructional practices in higher education. The approach to
studying sex-role socialization varies by perspective and
methodology and conclusions are interpreted in diverse ways but the
results have been very similar and the research in this volume
shows that the socialization of males and females continues to
reinforce male dominance despite women's advancement toward equal
status in society. This work is of interest in the fields of
sociology, psychology, anthropology and women's studies as well as
communication.
