BOYS AND GIRLS:
The Development of Gender Roles
- Carole Beal, UNIV OF MASS-AMHERST
ISBN: 0-07-004533-X / 1993 / Softcover / 416 pgs
Overview
This text on the development of sex roles in childhood focuses on the processes by which children learn to be boys and girls and the effects of differential socialization on their behavior. Unlike competing texts on sex roles, the book has a clear developmental emphasis. It also stresses the use of psychological theories and methods to separate popular notions regarding sex roles from current research findings. BOYS AND GIRLS is designed for use as a primary or supplementary text for a course on sex roles, a supplementary text in an introductory child development course, and as a resource for parents, teachers, and others who work with children.
