The Psychology of Sex and Gender by Jennifer Katherine Bosson

The Psychology of Sex and Gender by Jennifer Katherine Bosson

The Psychology of Sex and Gender offers a full and vibrant picture of the field, providing students with contemporary examples, balanced coverage of men and women, and a grounding in psychological science. Meeting the needs of gender science today, the authors present classic and cutting-edge research findings, historical contexts, examples from popular culture, cross-cultural universality and variation, and coverage of non-binary identities. In keeping with the growing scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL), in each chapter students are asked to think critically, to identify and evaluate their own myths and misconceptions, and to participate in real-world debates on topics at the forefront of the field.

"I believe this book has the potential to be the best book out there on the market that attempts to capture the complexity and reality of gender in people′s lives"

-- Stacy L. Williams
"The authors have done great job in presenting information in ways that are not combative or off-putting for students. "
-- Iva Katzarska-Miller

"I thought the chapters were easy reads with current research that will engage my students."

-- Jonathan R. Weaver

"I really do not think there is a text that provides similarly balanced coverage of gender issues."

-- Shawn R. Charlton

Jennifer K. Bosson is a professor of psychology at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. The middle of three daughters raised in Yorktown Heights, New York, she attended Wesleyan University and the University of Wisconsin–Madison as an undergraduate, and earned her PhD in social psychology from the University of Texas at Austin in 2000. Jennifer became interested in gender and feminism at a young age, and has been studying sex and gender as a social psychologist for the past 20 years. Her primary research interests include gender roles, stereotypes, sexism, and sexual prejudice. She lives in Tampa, Florida, with her spouse, Dave, and their dog, Alvin. Joseph A. Vandello grew up as the second of three children in a small town in Iowa. He received his BS from the University of Iowa in 1994 and his PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2000. In 2002, he joined the Psychology Department at the University of South Florida. His culturally homogenous (i.e., White, middle-class) upbringing fed a curiosity about understanding the diversity of the human experience outside of his small corner of the world and led him to study social psychology as a career. He has broad research interests in understanding manhood and masculinity, aggression, honor, underdogs, interracial interactions, and moral judgments. Camille E. Buckner is a professor of psychology at Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia, who earned a PhD in social and personality psychology from the University of Texas at Austin in 1997 and a BA in psychology and French from Rice University in 1991. They regularly teach courses on research design, cultural psychology, and gender psychology, and their research interests include stereotypes, discrimination, and best practices in teaching and learning. Camille has been living with Long COVID since March of 2020 and uses creative writing (poetry) as a means of processing the trauma of complex chronic illness. They live with their family and a very cat-like dog named Mei Mei in Northern Virginia.
