The Psychology of Sex and Gender

The Psychology of Sex and Gender, 2nd Edition, is a textbook that delivers balanced coverage of men and women grounded in psychological science. The volume examines research across sex, gender, and nonbinary identities alongside historical contexts, popular culture, and cross-cultural variation.

Coverage investigates outcomes at the intersections of social identities such as sex, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Rather than isolating diversity in separate boxes, the text weaves varied cultural perspectives directly into the main chapters.

Pedagogical resources include chapter-opening learning objectives informed by the scholarship of teaching and learning, supported by an open-access study site offering flashcards to reinforce key concepts.
