Is it consistent with major, validated theory in general psychology or psychology of gender?
Write a 4-5 page paper (typed, double-spaced, 12 pt. font) analyzing the book you choose.
You should have an introduction. You should spend approximately 1-2 pages (no more than 2) summarizing the content and basic arguments of the book. Then spend the remainder of the paper doing:
1. A feminist analysis
– Is the book feminist or antifeminist? Why? Document your points
carefully from the book, linking to the information from our textbook.
2.A psychological analysis
– Is this book good psychology? Is it consistent with major,
validated theory in general psychology or psychology of gender? Is it consistent with
research evidence we have learned about this semester? Does the author present research
evidence? (Note that clinical case studies are a kind of evidence, with some good points
and some limitations.)
3. Short conclusion
4. In your paper, relevant information from the Helgeson textbook that supports your
argument should be integrated into your discussion using the proper APA reference style
for papers.
