For gender-focused courses in Psychology, Sociology, Women’s Studies, and Gender Studies.
Unlike other gender texts, Psychology of Gender focuses equally on both men and women, drawing from empirical research and conceptual discussions.
The book includes research and discussions surrounding gender in the areas of psychology, sociology, anthropology, medicine, and public health. It reviews the research from multiple perspectives, but emphasizes the implications of social roles, status, and gender-related traits, particularly for relationships and health—areas that are central to students' lives and that have a great impact on their day-to-day functioning. The text is designed for upper-level undergraduate/ graduate-level gender-focused courses in a variety of departments.
Learning Goals
Upon completing this book, readers should be able to:
- Understand the implications of gender for two broad domains of research: relationships and health
- Distinguish the similarities and differences between men and women and the theories that explain any observed differences

It is thorough and comprehensive, covering the latest research on gender differences across numerous domains, including physical/mental health, relationships, communication, and the workplace. It considers the theoretical explanations surrounding the psychology of gender while still successfully evaluating the extant empirical literature. Helgeson has done an excellent job of updating this edition. She is also careful to acknowledge the intersection of gender with factors like age, race, and sexual orientation. The "do gender" exercises in the book also make for excellent small group projects for students.By foxyroxy
This is the best textbook I have EVER read. The author of this book really knows what she is talking about and really makes sure that you understand all the concepts. She used a lot of examples, research, and personal stories. She tries to make this book a fun read while still trying to teach you something.By Hayley Saylor
