PSYCHOLOGY OF GENDER/SEX (ebook)

Now in its 7th edition, Psychology of Gender/Sex reviews the research and issues surrounding gender from multiple perspectives, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, and public health. It explores the ways in which gendered experiences vary across development, social identities, and locations, focusing on the construct of gender/sex, as well as its implications for school, work, relationships, and health.

Going far beyond discussions of biological sex and gender identity, the text examines the gender/sex roles that society assigns to people, the ways individuals break and bend those roles, and the variables that co-occur with gender/sex, such as status and power.

Key features of the 7th edition include:

• Updated and integrated coverage of LGBTQ+ issues, identities, and experiences
• Expanded emphasis on the intersectionality of gender/sex
• Renewed focus on abortion, bodily autonomy, and reproduction
• Expanded discussions on emerging topics such as:
  • Online interactions and social media
  • The impact of COVID-19 on gender/sex inequalities
  • Gender/sex in the workplace
  • Social justice and activism

Engaging and readable, Psychology of Gender/Sex is an essential text for all students of gender in psychology, women’s studies, gender studies, sociology, and anthropology.
