Publisher's Synopsis
The book brings together for the first time research on sex differences that affect human performance. The first section of the book reviews basic research in the areas of sensation, learning, response to stress, and social factors, as they provide a basic for observed sex differences. The next section contains more specific information about response differences and anthropometric factors. The contributors, many of whom are international authorities in their field, offer a wide but selective review across psychology and fields related to human performance, such as ergonomics, education and personnel work with objective and information based chapters, supported by extensive and valuable bibliographies.
