Sex Role Socialization

Listed in: Psychology, as PSYC-40

Description

An examination of the processes throughout life that produce and maintain sex-typed behaviors. The focus is on the development of the psychological characteristics of males and females and the implications of that development for participation in social roles.

Careful attention will be given to the adequacy of the assumptions underlying psychological constructs and research in the study of sex differences.
