SAGE Publishing, a leading independent academic publisher, today announces that it is to begin publishing three theology journals on behalf of Biola University, a leading Christ-centered liberal arts university in California, US, from early 2018.

The three highly respected and established religion titles cover key aspects of theology, from education and psychology, to the practice of spiritual formation. They are:

Los Angeles, CA - To sexually objectify a woman is to focus on her body in terms of how it can provide sexual pleasure rather than viewing her as a complete human being with thoughts and feelings. While objectification has long been considered a problem in the media, how does it affect individual romantic relationships? New research published in Psychology of Women Quarterly, a SAGE journal, finds that more objectification of a female partner’s body is related to higher incidents of sexual pressure and coercion.

Los Angeles, CA. Research has revealed that gender biases limit the opportunities for women within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. But just how prevalent are these biases and how are they perceived differently by men and women? A new study out today in Psychology of Women Quarterly examined a well-known space for candid sharing of thoughts – the comments sections of online articles – and found that men are much less likely to agree with scientific evidence of gender bias in STEM than women.

How can advances in genetics, brain imaging, treatments, and assessment reduce the stigma associated with intellectual and developmental disorders? How does this research further our understanding of these disorders, giving rise to possible treatment and policy options? SAGE Publishing announces the release of The SAGE Encyclopedia of Intellectual and Developmental Disorders to investigate these issues and more.

A new study finds that gender stereotypes are as strong today as they were 30 years ago, and that people are even more likely now to believe that men avoid “traditional” female roles. This research is out today in Psychology of Women Quarterly (PWQ), a journal from SAGE Publishing.

SAGE Publishing is pleased to announce that three titles have received awards from the Textbook and Academic Authors Association (TAA). Social Media Marketing, second edition by Tracy L. Tuten and Michael R. Solomon, and Clinical Psychology: Science, Practice and Culture, fourth edition by Andrew M. Pomerantz, were awarded the TAA Textbook Excellence Award while Lifespan Development: Lives in Context, by Tara L. Kuther, was awarded Most Promising New Textbook.

Published in Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences, the study reviews the psychology behind rapid spending decisions and presents five policy options that lead to the smarter self-management of assets.
