This handbook stems from the author's previously published "Women and Women's Issues". Realizing that a book published in 1979 could no longer provide researchers with the up-to-date information they require regarding measures to use in research, Beere set out to revise and update her work. In the process, she discovered that the measures identified through her search of the literature produced since her first book was published far exceeds the number that can be realistically described in a single handbook. Thus, she has undertaken a two-volume guide, the first of which, "Gender Roles" describes only those measures pertaining to gender roles and attitudes toward gender-related issues. Gender roles are broadly defined to include adult's and children's gender roles, gender stereotypes, marital roles, parental roles, employee roles and multiple roles. A total of 211 measures are included.
