The social psychology of gender : how power and intimacy shape gender relations

Gender relations are rife with contradictions and complexities. Exploring the full range of gender issues, this book offers a fresh perspective on everyday experiences of gender; the explicit and implicit attitudes that underlie beliefs about gender differences; and the consequences for our thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Many real-world examples illustrate how the unique interdependence of men and women-coupled with pervasive power imbalances-shapes interactions in romantic relationships and the workplace. In the process, the authors shed new light on the challenges facing those who strive.

  • "The book describes prevailing beliefs about the differences between men and women and examines the extent to which they are explicit or implicit (nonconscious). Chapters identify ways in which gender attitudes affect our expectations, judgments, feelings, and behavior. The rewards of conforming to stereotypes such as feminine "niceness" or masculine assertiveness-and the costs of deviating from them-are discussed. The volume also addresses the broader social impact of gender norms, particularly with regard to heterosexual relationships and the workplace, and highlights obstacles to attaining gender parity. Throughout, the authors emphasize that relations between men and women are complex, nuanced, and often ambivalent.--From the publisher."
