Description
This course examines whether and to what extent behaviours and attributes are gender-and/or sex-related. The psychological literature is examined for findings pertinent to the question of female-male differences and similarities, and for indications of socio-cultural and biological factors that may explain these findings. Current social beliefs and norms concerning sex and gender are examined in the light of existing data.
