Course Objectives: | The Psychology of Gender course aims to provide an overview of theories and research on gender in psychology. In this class, we will discuss topics such as gender stereotypes, theories of gender differences, and the development of gender identity across the lifespan. We will also focus research on gender differences in different domains of life such as cognitive abilities, emotions, relationships, school, career and work, health, stress, and psychopathology. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Be familiar with the definition as well as construction of gender across cultures 2. Be familiar with the history of gender research as well as research methods used to study questions related to gender 3. Explain gender stereotypes, and gender roles assigned to males and females 4. Be familiar with sex differences and similarities in social and cognitive domains 5. Explain how theories account for gender differences in different domains of life 6. Explain gender differences in health behavior, mental health 7. Explain gender-related problems in working life 8. Appreciate how gender as a category shapes human behavior |
Main topics that will be covered in this class are,definition, philosophical and political issues surrounding gender,gender role attitudes,sex-related comparisons: observations,sex-related comparisons: theory, achievement, communication, friendship,romantic relationships,work roles and health mental health |
