- Title
TEACHING PSYCHOLOGY OF GENDER FROM A SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIONIST STANDPOINT.
- Authors
Gergen, Mary
- Abstract
In this article, the author discusses several intellectual and ethical dilemmas related to the psychology of gender. The dilemmas include psychology as an empirical science modeled on the natural sciences, science is to be value free and the third is a combination of both. He believes that undergraduate instructors in gender focused classes, regardless of their scientific orientations, are much more likely than other colleagues within the field to deviate from standard teaching practices. He states that he followed a social constructionist orientation to deal with these dilemmas.
