Name of resource: psyCast - Gender & Stress
Submitted by: Aidan Sammons
Specification details: AQA-A
Other specifications: AQA-B, Edexcel
Guidance: MP3 podcast.  Duration 5mins 56sec.  A brief overview of research into gender differences
in stress and coping.  Includes:

Why gender is important
Personality differences (Type A Behaviour, Locus of control)
Differences in coping style ('fight or flight' versus 'tend and befriend')
Biological differences (oxytocin)
General considerations - gender roles

The idea is that students can download these to their iPods/MP3 players and 
revise on the move.  They've proven very popular so far and the kids seem to
like them.  Whether or not they actually help is currently anyone's guess.
