Engendering psychology.
Engendering psychology refers to cultivating a psychology that is sensitive to issues of gender and diversity. The increase in the number of female psychologists does not guarantee that the discipline will be responsive to those issues. This article reviews the progress made in engendering psychology by examining undergraduate textbooks and classroom instruction and looking at gender bias in both research and practice. By engendering psychology, it becomes a stronger science and profession and better serves the public interest.
