    Study Notes

    Human Sexual Response Cycle

    • The human sexual response cycle, also known as the EPOR model, consists of four stages: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution.
    • During the excitement stage, there is an increased heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration, as well as heightened sensitivity of genitals and other erogenous zones.
    • The plateau stage involves further intensification of arousal, including lubrication, erection, and muscle tension.
    • The orgasm stage is characterized by involuntary muscle contractions and release of sexual tension.
    • The resolution stage involves a gradual decrease in physiological arousal and return to a relaxed state.

    Sexual Response Dysfunction

    • Sexual response dysfunction refers to difficulties encountered during any phase of the sexual response cycle that can cause distress or interfere with sexual satisfaction.
    • Examples of sexual response dysfunction include erectile dysfunction, female sexual arousal disorder, premature ejaculation, and low sexual desire.

    John William Money and Gender Theory

    • John William Money is considered the father of modern gender theory.
    • He coined the terms gender role, gender identity, and gender expression.
    • Money believed that gender was learned through social cues and experiences, rather than being solely determined by biology (nurture over nature theory).

    Albert Bandura and Social Learning Theory

    • Albert Bandura is the originator of social cognitive theory.
    • He is best known for his modeling study on aggression, referred to as the "Bobo doll" experiment.
    • Social learning theory proposes that learning occurs through observation, imitation, and modeling, and is influenced by factors such as attention, motivation, attitudes, and emotions.
    • The theory accounts for the interaction of environmental and cognitive elements that affect how people learn.

    Key Tenets of Social Learning Theory

    • Learning is a cognitive process that takes place in a social setting.
    • Learning can occur by observing a behavior and the consequences of such.
    • Learning can happen without an observable change in behavior, because we may learn without displaying what we have learned.

    Psychological Perspective of Gender and Sexuality

    • A psychological perspective, or theoretical approach, is a framework used by psychologists to understand human thought, emotion, and behavior.
    • The psychological perspective of gender and sexuality examines the role of socialization and upbringing in shaping gender identity.

    Sexuality vs. Gender

    • Sexuality refers to the biological attributes that categorize someone as male, female, or intersex.
    • Gender refers to the social and cultural roles, behaviors, expectations, and identities associated with being a man, woman, or something else.
    • Gender identity originates from the social construct of gender roles and expectations, rather than biological attributes.
