A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
Sexism and androcentric narratives are well-researched and calls for critical reflexivity have been made from a feminist and women’s history perspectives in the History of Psychology. Eminent, yet invisibilised women in Psychology have been re-discovered and written back to its history, especially since the start of the women’s movements in the 1960s and 1970s. In this research I focus on recent and highly influential scholarly work. I look into patterns of referencing, citing, and presentation between female and male authors in overviews given on the History of Psychology. In my analysis, I combine qualitative and quantitative methods. Using a selection consisting of a known journal on the History of Psychology, and two publications giving an overview of work done in the History of Psychology, I illustrate that asymmetries exist in the presentation of female and male authors. Implications, limitations, and future avenues in researching this topic are discussed.
