Gender, an important concept in psychology, is brought into sharp focus in the 1984 Nebraska Symposium on Motivation, which presents important new findings in eight papers, four dealing with sex differences and four with gender as a variable.

The papers on sex differences with Ann Anastasi's Reciprocal Relations between Cognitive and Affective Development--with Implications for Sex Differences, in which the author relates aptitudes about the sex appropriateness of behaviors to attitudes and task performance. The effects of prenatal sex hormones on gender identity and gender-role behavior are the subject of the next paper, Gender Differences: A Biosocial Perspective by Anke A. Ehrhardt. In Gender Identity and Its Implications for the Concepts of Masculinity and Femininity, Janet T. Spence proposes a new theoretical approach to the meanings of femininity and masculinity. Sex Differences in Achievement Patterns are Jacquelynne Eccles's concern in her paper.
