The Social Psychology of Gender: How Power and Intimacy Shape Gender Relations. Questo articolo non è disponibile.The Social Psychology of Gender: How Power and Intimacy Shape Gender Relations

Noted for its accessibility, this text--now revised and updated to reflect a decade of advances in the field--examines how attitudes and beliefs about gender profoundly shape all aspects of daily life. From the schoolyard to the workplace to dating, sex, and marriage, men and women alike are pressured to conform to gender roles that limit their choices and impede equality. The text uses real-world examples to explore such compelling questions as where masculine and feminine stereotypes come from, the often hidden ways in which male dominance is maintained, and how challenging conventional romantic ideals can strengthen heterosexual relationships.

Peter Glick, PhD, is the Henry Merritt Wriston Professor at Lawrence University. His work with Susan Fiske on ambivalent sexism, including their award-winning article presenting the theory and measures of hostile and benevolent sexism, transformed the field’s understanding of discrimination against women. Since then, research has shown how benevolent sexism--affectionate yet patronizing attitudes toward women--leads to myriad behaviors that insidiously undermine women in the workplace and in heterosexual relationships. Dr. Glick’s work with Susan Fiske and Amy Cuddy on the stereotype content model established a highly cited general model of prejudice, distinguishing between its envious, contemptuous, and paternalistic forms. In addition to more than 80 articles, Dr. Glick has coedited or coauthored three books. As Visiting Professor of Management and Organizations at Northwestern University, he codesigned the Kellogg School of Management’s first course on diversity management.
