"From now on, this book will be my first choice. I can use this textbook in multiple ways and spark enthusiastic discussions among students about current research." —Dr. William R. Holtf, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Issues related to sex, or issues related to gender, may be one of the most interesting topics among all human topics. Without a doubt, it is precisely because humans are divided into two genders that human society is so colorful. The author of this book, Vicki S. Helgeson, is a distinguished senior professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States and a renowned scholar whose research spans multiple fields, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, medicine, and public health. Her broad academic background allows her to integrate knowledge from various disciplines, systematically presenting readers with important and engaging topics such as the roles of men and women in society, relationships between the sexes, and their impact on health. This book is suitable for use by senior undergraduate and graduate students studying psychology, sociology, women's studies, gender studies, and related disciplines, as well as for self-study by those interested in gender psychology. —Zhang Kan, President of the Chinese Psychological Society
