Class Description:
This course covers current theories and research regarding the psychology of women and psychological sex differences. This includes topics that relate uniquely to women (e.g., pregnancy) as well as differences and similarities between men and women. It is primarily geared toward upper-level psychology majors. More specific topics include sex differences in infancy; sex differences in personality and abilities in adulthood; gender stereotypes; menstruation; sexuality; pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood; women, achievement and work; women and psychotherapy; specific psychological disorders common in women (e.g., eating disorders); violence against women; heterosexual and lesbian relationships; and older women. The emphasis of the course is on critically evaluating the research literature on gender differences and similarities. Class time is divided between lectures, small group discussions, and large group discussions. There will also be occasional guest speakers and videotapes.
