Psychology - Manstead & McCulloch

[blond_law]

I need to start my coursework for my psychology course and i wanted to do a study about gender/stereotyping. I have been trying to find experiments/case studies that Manstead & McCulloch did and add my own twist. I have searched google to try and find some of their studies and nothing has come to light. Can anyone help me by pointing me to the right sites or even giving me some of their knowledge?

Many thanks in advance

Have you tried searching for them on Google Books? I've just had a quick look and there are quite a few books which refer to Manstead & McCulloch's studies; they may have enough information in for you to work on.

You've not stated which institution you're studying at but anywhere that offers Psychology as a subject should have (or have access to) the British Journal of Social Psychology.

Forget the web, head to your university (or college) library and ask if they've got volume 20 of that journal (which was published in 1981). If so, you'll find Manstead & McCulloch's paper on 'Sex-role stereotyping in British television advertisements' on pages 171 to 180.

Then check the library's catalogue, which should list any other papers by those authors.
