Аннотация:
This chapter is an exploration of gender and the contemporary college student, with particular attention to points of tension and contradiction in emerging analyses of gender relations on college campuses. Evidence of considerable convergence in men's and women's aspirations, attitudes, sex-role sterotypes, alcohol and other drug use, and personality and cognitive abilities inform models arguing for an appreciation of essential similarities between the sexes. on the other hand, differences perspectives call attention to persistent patterns of gender differentiation in interaction styles, appearance norms, eating disorders, sexual coercion, and other arenas of campus life. College policy and practice affecting gender issues need to strike a careful balance between recognizing the legitimate points of contention and arenas for misunderstanding between the sexes without exaggerating their claims of difference.
