A Brief History of Feminist Psychology’s Contributions to Research
Ruth Hall (1948–2023)
Ruth Hall, born on June 7, 1948, grew up in Painesville, Ohio and died after a prolonged illness on June 22, 2023. Ruth was a clinician, a university professor, and a scholar. In each role, she advocated for inclusion and diversity. Her scholarship addressed mental health issues of women of color, and she was very frequently invited to consult and provide diversity training to varied groups. Ruth had a lifelong interest in exercise and athletics.…
Feminist Qualitative Research
Feminist research is described in terms of its purposes of addressing women’s lives, advocacy for women, analysis of gender oppression, working for social justice, and transformation of society. Feminist critiques of social science research are reviewed in relation to the development of methodological and epistemological positions. Feminist research is viewed as contributing to the transformation of science from empiricism to postmodernism. Refle…
Bernice Resnick Sandler (1928–2019)
Presents an obituary for Bernice Resnick Sandler (1928-2019). Bunny, as her family and friends called her, deployed the research skills she learned in her graduate education in psychology in service to her work as a public policy expert and advocate for gender equity in higher education. She is known as the Godmother of Title IX. She graduated from Erasmus Hall High School, and then earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Brooklyn College in…
Making Space for Every Body
The importance of addressing weight bias as a social justice issue in psychotherapy and psychology education and training is introduced. The history of the development of fat studies is briefly reviewed. Current coverage of size and sizeism in psychology is critically examined and contrasted with the increasing adoption of the medical model of “obesity.” Fat shaming in the practice of mental health professionals is examined as a barrier to client…

Women’s Embodied Self

The Personal, Political, and Professional Life of Sandra Bem
Experiencing Flow
The possibility of positive aging is examined, and related to the experience of flow, a pleasurable state in which people are fully engaged in a task or activity and lose all sense of time, space and ego (Csikszentmihalyi, 2008 Csikszentmihalyi, M. (2008). Flow: The psychology of optimal experience. New York, NY: Harper Perennial Modern Classics. [Google Scholar]). Positive aging, as viewed by some seniors, involves a sense of purpose, interactio…
Gender and Ethnicity in Dating, Hanging Out, and Hooking Up
We examined the scripts associated with heterosexual Hispanic and White young adults' most recent initial sexual or romantic encounter using two samples of heterosexual undergraduates: 224 Hispanic students (49% female) and 316 White students (51% female). Scripts were identified for three types of encounters: dating, hanging out, and hooking up. The three scripts had more than half of their actions in common. Items such as get to know one anothe…
Sandra Lipsitz Bem (1944–2014)
This article memorializes Sandra Lipsitz Bem (1944-2014). Bem was a feminism psychologist whose incisive writing and research transformed the psychology of gender and contributed significantly to our understanding of sex-typing, psychological androgyny, gender schema theory, and sexual inequality. Bem and her husband, Daryl Bem, were active in the feminist community in Pittsburgh, and worked with the National Organization for Women to challenge g…
The American Psychological Association’s Committee on Women in Psychology
The Committee on Women in Psychology (CWP) of the American Psychological Association was founded in 1973 in response to the report of the Task Force on the Status of Women in Psychology. In this article, we set the context for the founding of the task force and committee and briefly describe the history of feminist critique of, and activism within, organized psychology in the United States. From its inception to the present day, CWP has been know…
Men’s Experience of Psychological Abuse
Who Needs to Understand Hook Up Culture
Aging, Agency, and Activism
Current cohorts of older women are potential social activists, and their potential to contribute to social change is examined. It is argued that engagement in social action is positive and empowering for aging women. Older women both contribute to and benefit from social capital, connections among individuals in social networks, and norms of reciprocity (Putnam, 2000 Putnam , R. ( 2000 ). Bowling alone: The collapse and revival of American commun…
Feminism and psychology
Starting in the 1960s, feminists argued that the discipline of psychology had neglected the study of women and gender and misrepresented women in its research and theories. Feminists also posed many questions worthy of being addressed by psychological science. This call for research preceded the emergence of a new and influential body of research on gender and women that grew especially rapidly during the period of greatest feminist activism. The…

A Postmodern Approach to Women's Use of Violence
We review the research on intimate partner abuse and, in particular, the articles in this issue, from within a feminist and postmodern framework. Research on women's use of violence is reviewed in terms of how researchers have constructed and measured violence and have conceptualized intimate partner violence (IPV) and gender. What and how we measure determines what we find ( McHugh & Cosgrove, 2005 ). We call for new conceptualizations of intima…
Understanding Gender and Intimate Partner Abuse
Speaking for Ourselves
Although feminist and community psychology share a number of epistemological and methodological perspectives that guide their respective theories and research practices, it has been argued that community psychology has not fully integrated a feminist perspective into the discipline. This paper examines how community psychology and feminist research methods might combine to help us better understand women's experiences without essentializing or un…
Measuring Feminism and Gender Role Attitudes
The Measurement of Gender-Role Attitudes
This article reviews measures of gender-role attitudes with an emphasis on The Attitudes Toward Women Scale (AWS; Spence & Helmreich, 1972); the Sex Role Egalitarianism Scale (SRES; Beere, King, Beere, & King, 1984); the Modern Sexism Scale (MS; Swim, Aikin, Hall, & Hunter, 1995); the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI; Click & Fiske, 1996), and the Children's Occupational Activity Trait-Attitude Measure (COAT-AM; Bigler, Liben, Lobliner, & Yekel, …

Assessing the theoretical models for sex differences in causal attributions for success and failure
Power and Influence Strategies in Violent and Nonviolent Marriages
How important is the use of physical violence in determining the balance of power within marriage? Do women in violent marriages make more use of indirect strategies in attempting to persuade their husbands than do women in nonviolent marriages? Is marital satisfaction related to influence styles? These questions are investigated by looking at decision making in couples and how this is related to the forms of influence strategies used by wives an…
