This new text offers a unique developmental focus on gender.
Gender development is examined from infancy through adolescence,
integrating biological, socialization, and cognitive perspectives.
The book s current empirical focus is complemented by a lively and
readable style that includes anecdotes about children s everyday
experiences. The book s accessibility is further enhanced with the
use of bold face to highlight key terms when first introduced along
with a complete glossary of these terms. All three of the authors
are respected researchers in divergent areas of children s gender
role development and each of them teaches a course on the
topic.
The book s primary focus is on gender role behaviors how they
develop and the roles biological and experiential factors play in
their development. The first section of the text introduces the
field and outlines its history. Part 2 focuses on the differences
between the sexes, including the biology of sex and the latest
research on behavioral sex differences, including motor and
cognitive behaviors and personality and social behaviors.
Contemporary theoretical perspectives on gender development
biological, social and environmental, and cognitive approaches are
explored in Part 3 along with the research supporting these models.
The social agents of gender development, including children
themselves, family, peers, the media, and schools are addressed in
the final part.
Cutting-edge and comprehensive, this is the perfect text for
those who have been searching for an advanced undergraduate and/or
graduate book for courses in gender development, the psychology of
sex roles and/or gender and/or women or men, taught in departments
of psychology, human development, and educational psychology.
Although chapters have been designed to be read sequentially, a
full author citation is included the first time a reference is used
within an individual chapter rather than only the first time it is
used in the book, making it easy to assign chapters in a variety of
orders. This referencing system will also appeal to scholars
interested in using the book as a resource to review a particular
content area.
