  8. Scavenger Hunt • For example: • QUESTION: Who was the first female psychologist to have a United States postage stamp issued in her honor?

  9. ANSWER: Lillian Gilbreth

  10. Consider Gender Research Functional periodicity Differences LetaStetterHollingworth Helen Thompson Woolley Functional periodicity Georgene Seward Measuring Sexual orientation Catharine Cox Miles Evelyn Gentry Hooker

  11. Pick a common research topic Barbara Stoddard Burks (1902-1943) & Alice Eagly (1938-) Both conduct(ed) research related to nature vs. nurture

  12. Pick a similarity... • Mary Whiton Calkins (1863-1930) & Naomi Weisstein (1939-) • Educational experiences at Harvard University

  13. ...or a difference • Florence Goodenough (1886-1959) & Carol Gilligan (1936-) • Goodenough refused the feminist label and did not identify as a woman-psychologist, but Gilligan argues for the “different voice” of women to be included in psychology

  14. Demonstrate differences Rhoda Unger and Leta Hollingworth discuss gender research: • LH: [talking about her sex diff. research]… You ladies must have come to the same conclusion in your work. • RU: Well yes, to an extent. We tend to look at the issue from less of a biological sex differences perspective though. In fact, I’ve tried to move away from the feminist empiricist method of drawing from theory, and ask questions with social meaning (Unger, 2006). • LH: How do you mean? Don’t you think that rigorous, objective scientific research will naturally undermine these biased assumptions about women?  • RU: I think the type of questions you ask make a big difference…

  15. Be creative and have fun! Mary Whiton Calkins & Elizabeth Scarborough: MWC: Where am I? I was in my office a moment ago... ES: Damned if I know, I was just---- wait just a minute. You look just like Mary Whiton Calkins! MWC: Last time I checked, that was my name. How did we get in this room? ES: If you're Mary Whiton Calkins, I'm more concerned with how one of us travelled through time... Mysterious Voice: Never mind that, Elizabeth, I've brought you two here to have a conversation so that I can transcribe it for my History of Psychology assignment, you'll be back home shortly.
