Gender and StressRosalind C. Barnett, Lois Biener, Grace K. Baruch Free Press, 1987 - 386 síður "Gender and Stress" illuminates the female experience of stress and offers a new paradigm for research on stress in both men and women. The book challenges prevailing assumptions, biases, and myths about the stress process, indicating that men and women not only find different situations stressful, but respond in different ways to perceived stress. Divided into four sections, each of the thirteen chapters combines the results of original research with a reexamination of existing studies. Throughout this authoritative volume, the authors demonstrate the importance of looking at an individual within the context of an entire life, examining the interrelationships between different roles and experiences, and recognizing the paramount significance of gender in shaping how an individual is affected by stress. -- From publisher's description. |
