A balanced approach to the gender course providing research related to both men and women's issues and encouraging critical thinking about topics that are relevant to all people. This book examines the topic of gender the behaviors and attitudes that relate (but are not entirely congruent with) biological sex. Research and scholarship form the basis of this book, providing the material for a critical review and an attempt at an overall picture of gender from a psychological perspective. To accent the relevance of research findings in vivid detail, 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.Brannon, Linda is the author of 'Gender Psychological Perspectives', published 2001 under ISBN 9780205327508 and ISBN 0205327508.
