Notes
- Abstract:
- The Psychology of Gender is an Open Education Resource (OER) written by Kristy McRaney, Alexis Bridley, and Lee Daffin through Washington State University which studies issues related to the psychology of gender across 13 modules.
Our discussion begins by explaining what gender is in relation to sex and the difference between health and wellness, defining other terms related to gender, and then describes how gender has been viewed in various psychological schools. We then move to how the construct is studied by researchers.
The remaining parts of the book examine gender through social and developmental psychology lenses (Part II); applies a biological lens in relation to human sexuality, cognition, and physiological psychology (Part III); focuses on physical and mental health (Part IV), and finally uses educational and industrial/organizational lenses (Part V). We finally discuss issues related to gender in terms of future research directions and policy issues.
