Title The development of gender identity and gender roles throughout lifespan
Description Content: The goal of the seminar is to develop an overview of central topics on gender identity and gender roles throughout the lifespan. Planned topics include biological sex and social gender, gender identity and gender role identity, gender stereotypes, gender roles and behavior, influence of sexual orientation. Basic and expert texts serve as a working basis. Co-determination in the exact formulation of the topics and further freedom of decision and creativity are important characteristics of the seminar. In small groups, the first step is to deal with a topic of one's own choice. Relevant theoretical and research papers are read, summarized and discussed first within the small group together with the lecturer. This is followed by a discussion of the respective topics together with all seminar participants. In this part of the seminar, the focus is thus on gaining knowledge and understanding of the topics discussed for the entire seminar group. A further focus of the seminar is the consideration of a possible research design, which could contribute fruitfully to the respective topic. This design may be put into practice in small group format in the last part of the seminar in the form of a small pilot study. In the last session of the seminar, the results will be discussed in plenary.
Requirements: (1) Reading of relevant (mostly English) texts. (2) Design of a small group discussion session. The presentations given in the discussion group will not be graded, but must reach the "pass" level. The presentation slides in PowerPoint format will be graded (33% of the final grade) (3) Regular and active participation, maximum 2 missed appointments. The student's own discussion date and presentation dates may not be missed under any circumstances. (4) Writing a study proposal in a small group (graded, 67% of the final grade). The final exam will thus consist of writing a study proposal on a question independently developed in small groups during the seminar and investigated by the student on a small pilot sample.
Basic literature: The basic and presentation literature will be announced in the introductory session.
Registration: Registration is through KSL, is binding, and cannot be cancelled or changed.
Study focus: The work done in the seminar will be recognized for a Master's module in Developmental Psychology (15, 30 or 45 ECTS) as well as an elective.
