The Effects of Feminist Scholarship on Developmental Psychology.

Jacklin, Carol Nagy; McBride-Chang, Catherine

Psychology of Women Quarterly, v15 n4 p549-56 Dec 1991

Feminism has helped shape developmental psychology, and feminist scholarship has made its primary contributions to the study of child development in the following major areas: (1) weakening the "male as norm" concept; (2) changing "mother blaming" for children's problems; and (3) theory and research on sex role socialization.
