| Summary |
"Gender Development" examines gender from a truly developmental perspective, filling a need for a textbook and sourcebook for college and graduate students, parents, teachers, counselors, and researchers. It examines the processes involved in the development of gender, addressing sensitive and complex questions. The authors provide an integrative review of theory and research, tracing gender development from the moment of conception through adulthood and emphasizing the complex interaction of biology, socialization, and cognition. The topics covered include hormonal influences, moral development, play and friendhips, experiences at school and work, and psychopathology. |
