Advances in Group Processes publishes theoretical analyses, reviews, and theory-based empirical chapters on group phenomena. Volume 24 includes papers that address fundamental issues relating to the Social Psychology of Gender. The social psychology of gender analyzes the ways gender shapes and is shaped by social interaction. This includes the cognitive processes through which gender influences the way we perceive, interpret, and respond to our social world; it also includes the mechanisms through which interaction defines and transmits meaning about gender. The volume emphasizes the importance of understanding gender as a multilevel structure that includes cultural beliefs and distributions of resources at the macro level, patterns of behavior at the interactional level, as well as roles and identities at the micro level. The volume begins with an introduction that discusses the overall theoretical and methodological orientation of the social psychology of gender. The first chapter after the introduction reviews the history of gender research in psychology, and in particular provides excellent accounts of research on “benevolent sexism” and “backlash effects”. The second chapter provides an overview of research on two types of stereotyping – descriptive and prescriptive – as well as offering suggestions for organizations interested in pre-empting these types of bias. The third chapter reviews recent research on the role that beliefs about gender play in organizational decision-making, with an emphasis on hiring and firing decisions. The fourth chapter synthesizes a range of literatures in order to explain how interactional mechanisms restrict women’s ability to be both liked and respected, such that their choices are often made by navigating pragmatic alternatives rather than any explicit consent to hierarchical gender relations. The fifth chapter develops a theory of the authors that addresses the interaction of gender and socia more...

Since 1948, Advances in Catalysis has filled the gap between the papers that report on and the textbooks that teach in the diverse areas of catalysis research. The editors of and contributors to Advances in Catalysis are dedicated to recording progress in this area. Advances in Catalysis, Volume 46 builds foundations of fundamental understanding at the atomic and molecular scales in support of technologically important catalytic processes. The first tow chapters forge links between molecular (homogeneous) catalysis and catalysis occurring analogously-and sometimes more successfully-on surfaces. The following three chapters are concerned with advances in classical surface catlysis building on concepts of reaction kinetics and surface characterization. more...
