Students examine the psychology of one of society's most important current interests: how and why females and males differ, and in what ways are they more similar than we think. The development of gender roles affects nearly every aspect of life, such as family, education, work, sexuality, culture, and emotional problems. Students consider different views of the biological and social influences on developing gender roles. Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for the course, but 6 credits of Introductory Psychology is recommended.
