A psychology of women textbook that fully integrates transgender
research, issues, and concerns With clear, comprehensive, and
cutting-edge coverage, The Psychology of Women and Gender: Half the
Human Experience + delivers an authoritative analysis of classical
and up-to-date research from a feminist, psychological viewpoint.
Authors Nicole M. Else-Quest and Janet Shibley Hyde examine the
cultural and biological similarities and differences between
genders, noting how these characteristics can affect issues of
equality. Students will come away with a strong foundation for
understanding the dynamic influences of gender, sexual orientation,
and ethnicity in the context of psychology and society. The Tenth
Edition further integrates intersectionality throughout every
chapter, updates language for more transgender inclusion, and
incorporates new content from guidelines put forth from the
American Psychological Association.
For years, both psychologists and the general public have been
fascinated with the notion that there are gender differences in
cognitive abilities; even now, flashy cover stories exploiting this
idea dominate major news magazines, while research focuses on
differences in verbal, mathematical, spatial, and scientific
abilities across gender. This new volume in the Counterpoints
series not only summarizes and addresses the validity (or
invalidity) of such research, but also questions its ideology and
consequences. Why do we search so intently for these differences?
And what are the social and cultural implications of this
relentless emphasis? Do biological mechanisms, in fact, contribute
to the male-female differences in cognition? These are just a few
of the questions generated by this controversial topic as it is
debated throughout the book.
