Sex and Psyche: Gender and Self Viewed Cross-Culturally

by John E. Williams and Deborah L. Best

Book Overview

Women′s and men′s self-concepts in relation to physical attributes such as relative strength, and to country-specific sex stereotypes of masculinity and femininity, are examined in this volume. Using extensive data collected in fourteen countries the authors also consider sex role ideologies viewed along a continuum ranging from traditional male dominated to modern egalitarian views. They explore both pan-cultural similarities and cross-cultural differences.
