Men are mostly assigned wtih agentic attributes such as being individualistic, ambitious, aggressive, dominant, competing for attention, forceful, confident et.c whilst women are associated with communal attributes such as being friendly, affectionate, sympathetic, helpful, kind, gentle etc. This has brought about a situation where males dominate in many facets of life and also serves as a glass ceiling preventing many women from moving to the top position. This book therefore, provides more insight about attitude of students' towards female senior members in higher educational institutions and how social dominance orientation influences this relationship. The analysis should help provide more insight on how students behave towards female senior members.
