Women Can't Park, Men Can't Pack: The Psychology of Stereotypes - Couverture rigide

Does shoe size predict penis size? Are oysters an aphrodisiac? Do redheads have fiery tempers? Are stepmothers wicked? Is it grim up north? Do politicians lie?

Answering these and many other questions with an engaging mixture of humour and psychological insight, Women Can't Park, Men Can't Pack takes psychology to the battle of the sexes and beyond by examining the truths and misconceptions behind the stereotypes that we often take for granted. Author and psychology lecturer Geoff Rolls reveals why so many people are afraid of clowns, why cavemen preferred blondes and why we may never have a Prime Minister called Wayne.

Clever, compelling and often surprising, this is the perfect book for anyone who wants to find out more about why we believe the things we do.

Geoff Rolls is the author of the popular Taking the Proverbial, which explored the psychological truth behind well-known proverbs and sayings. He is also the author of Classic Case Studies in Psychology (Hodder Arnold), and has co-authored many other well-received psychology titles. He is a lecturer in psychology at Peter Symonds College.
