Book Description
The purpose of this study was to determine if males and females differ in their perceptions of school psychology as a career and to determine if gender identity has an effect on individuals' perception of school psychology. One hundred and four participants completed a survey that assessed their gender identity, knowledge of four career fields in psychology, their perceived gender ratings of different helping professions, and their perception of how well school psychology could fulfill their career needs. Males and females did not differ in their reported knowledge and perceived gender ratings of school psychology. Males and females did not differ in their perception of school psychology fulfilling their career needs. Participants were sorted into four gender identity groups, and none of the gender identity groups significantly differed in their perceptions of school psychology fulfilling their career needs. Males, females and the gender identity groups rated similar career satisfiers as being fulfilled by school psychology. Although there were no significant differences between the groups on these measures, further study of efforts to recruit more males into the profession of school psychologists is recommended.

Book Description
Despite many years of equality of choice, boys and girls continue to differ in both the subjects they study at school and later in the careers they decide to pursue. In this collection of papers by leading researchers from academic and practitioner backgrounds, the current evidence from a range of fields is reviewed. Drawing on both their own original research and that of others, the contributors consider topics as diverse as subject choice in secondary school, differences in brain functions between the sexes, the comparison of men and women in management and recruiting women to science and technology.

Book Description
Donald R. McCreary and Joan C. Chrisler The Development of Gender Studies in Psychology Studies of sex differences are as old as the ?eld of psychology, and they have been conducted in every sub?eld of the discipline. There are probably many reasons for the popularity of these studies, but three reasons seem to be most prominent. First, social psychological studies of person perception show that sex is especially salient in social groups. It is the ?rst thing people notice about others, and it is one of the things we remember best (Fiske, Haslam, & Fiske, 1991; Stangor, Lynch, Duan, & Glass, 1992). For example, people may not remember who uttered a witty remark, but they are likely to remember whether the quip came from a woman or a man. Second, many people hold ?rm beliefs that aspects of physiology suit men and women for particular social roles. Men’s greater upper body strength makes them better candidates for manual labor, and their greater height gives the impression that they would make good leaders (i. e. , people we look up to). Women’s reproductive capacity and the caretaking tasks (e. g. , breastfeeding, baby minding) that accompany it make them seem suitable for other roles that require gentleness and nurturance. Third, the logic that underlies hypothesis testing in the sciences is focused on difference. Researchers design their studies with the hope that they can reject the null hypothesis that experimental groups do not differ.
