Book Overview
For ages, women have been considered as the emotional sex. The aim of this book is to investigate this stereotype. A wide range of emotions, such as anger, pride, shame, sadness, and joy, and emotional expressions, such as smiling and laughing are covered in the various chapters. The purpose of each chapter is to show whether sex differences have been found in psychological research in relation to one of these aspects of emotion, in which situations these differences were especially strong, and how (the absence of) these differences can be explained. This book is the first in its field to systematically present an overview of research and theory on gender differences in emotion.

Great overview of a fascinating topic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
For anybody interested in how gender and emotion interact with each other, this volume is a treasure trove of information. Some of the chapters are a bit weaker and consist of a lot of descriptive data with few explanations or theories, but a lot of that can be attributed to the relative lack of research on this topic. Gender has taken a long time to evolve its own theories and I think it will take quite a bit longer before we see the first overarching gender and emotion theory which might help place this array of fascinating but scattered findings into a single unifiying framework. But for anyone who does or is thinking about doing research on either gender or emotion will find this volume to be a wonderful overview.
