Summary:

The Developmental Social Psychology of Gender This volume is the first to advance a genuine synthesis of developmental and social psychological perspectives on gender. This volume presents strong arguments against the traditionally fragmented state of gender research with a wide range of topics emerging at the intersection of both psychological disciplines. Leading researchers in the field discuss diverse theoretical perspectives on gender, highlight issues of gender categorization and interpersonal behavior, and focus on group-level and cultural forces impinging on the individual. This book marks a major breakthrough in gender science by elaborating on the fundamental premise that a full understanding of the multifaceted nature of gender can only be achieved through an integrative look at processes of developmental change and social influence.
