Lesson 01

Common misconception:

Gender psychology or psychology of gender issues pertains to only psychology of women. That is not the case. There is a difference between psychology of women and psychology of gender. Focus of a course in gender issues:

What factors are responsible for the distinct masculine and feminine roles?

The factors may be biological. Social, cultural, or psychological!

Today we have lots of research evidence available that explains both masculinity, or male roles, and femininity, or female roles.

There are two Divisions of APA that directly deal with these issues:

Division 35: Society for the Psychology of Women, established 1973. Division 51: Society for the Psychological Study of Men and Masculinity, established 1995.

About this course:

This course will have a multi disciplinary approach. We will borrow and benefit from the knowledge and research evidence available in psychology as well as other disciplines. The primary focus of the course will be gender issues. However psychology of women will be touched upon more than issues specific to the psychology of men alone.

Main focus: · •Female physiology, and reproductive health · •Female cognitive skills · •Stereotyping women in media · •Early socialization into sex roles · •Cultural determinants of sex differences · •Work issues; · power relationships between men and women · • Psychosocial factors in women empowerment · •Discrimination and violence prevention · •Physical and mental health issues · •Gender equality and equity
