Gender and Social Psychology critically evaluates the contribution that psychology has made to the study of gender, examining key issues such as family roles and parenting, inequalities in education, jobs and pay, and the effects of media representation of the sexes.

Vivien Burr explains theory and research in an accessible but thorough manner, and weaves together psychological, sociological and feminist approaches to provide an understanding of gender which is more complete than that typically offered by psychological texts.

Quotes

'Very clear and interesting ... Easy to understand, especially for those students with no background in psychology. The material and examples appeal to the everyday experience of most students.' |I Barbara Deguzis, Research student, Bolton Institute

'One of the best things about the book is the way that it foregrounds politics. Readers will be left in no doubt about the extent to which political values and judgements have shaped the contours of work in this area.' |I Nigel Edley, Nottingham Trent University, in the Psychologist vol. 13

'Excellent. A comprehensive summary, drawing on a wide range of literature. Her style is clear and enjoyable, her analysis critical and sharp. The student new to this area (whether in their first or final year) will certainly come away informed.' |I Suzanne Zeedyk, University of Dundee
