Psychology of Gender

Course content and objectives

Psychology of Gender is a course for everyone who wants to learn more about research and theories on gender and gender stereotyping. We will discuss research and theories on the relevance of gender and stereotyping in the areas of physiology, sexuality, interpersonal relations (e.g., marriage, family, communication), employment (preferences for particular professions, discrimination), cognition and motivation (e.g., intellectual aptitude), personality (e.g., self-esteem, self-concept), psychological disorders, and violence against women. Topics that have traditionally received little attention such as women and politics will also be discussed.
