In their textbook on socio-psychological gender studies, Ursula Athenstaedt and Dorothee Alfermann draw on the concept of gender roles, which was developed by the sociologists Parsons and Bales in the 1950s in the USA. Indifferent towards the criticism of the concept of roles that has been formulated in gender studies since then, they offer a carefully researched overview on the current state of research. The affirmative style towards empirically proven gender differences seems rather strange considering the prominence of socio-constructivist approaches in gender studies. The conclusion, in which the authors state recommendations for gender-fair psychological research, is all the more refreshing.
