ABOUT THIS BOOK
"This volume is . . . devoted to the question of how 'gender' is and (especially) should be, conceptualized in personality theory and research. It was designed for students and researchers. The idea . . . grew out of our conviction that 'gender' has played a curious and paradoxical role in personality theory and research to date."—from the Introduction
REVIEWS
"Gender and Personality has a breadth and thoroughness that suggests it will stand as a marker for some years to come; it provides a comprehensive coverage of a perspective on gender that has not been treated systematically in recent years. The work is scholarly but not esoteric, and the breadth of coverage makes it a valuable sourcebook."—Kay Deaux
"I am enthusiastic about this work; with the strong introduction, the contents are approachable by the non-specialist and contain much of value on gender differences. The chapters link up well to similar discussions in all other disciplines. . . . All of the contents demonstrate a great variety and vitality."—Jean O'Barr
