Research, however, has found significant differences between perception and actual communication between males and females [25] .…”

Objective: In nursing, where communication is crucial for collaboration with colleagues, informing and reassuring clients as well as advocating. Use of appropriate styles is fundamental. Consideration of nursing students' listening and communication styles is necessary to understand whether this area needs further enhancement in the curriculum. Yet, little information exists for nurse educators around this area. Methods:A cross-sectional study of Bachelor of Nursing students from one Australian university was conducted using paper-based versions of the Listening Styles Profile (LSP) and Communicator Style Measure (CSM). Findings revealed strong preference for 'People' listening style and 'Friendly' communicator style.Results: There were no significant differences between students across different stages of the course and only slight differences in preferences between genders. Preferences indicate appropriate communication for nursing, indicating underlying concern for the welfare of others. Conclusions:Results suggest that participants' education had no effect on their preferences and may provide some information for educators aiming to develop such skills. Longitudinal studies of these attributes into the graduate year are recommended.

“…Collins and Raven (1969) found that the conversation topic and the length of marriage also make a difference in the level of dominance. Males were also found to be significantly more assertive (Staley & Cohen, 1988) and argumentative than females (Infante & Rancer, 1982;Schultz, 1982). Other notable differences are that females more often assume a socio-emotional or expressive role when communicating (Berryman, 1980), use language that facilitates positive interaction more than men by interrupting conversations less than men (Pearson, 1985), and use a more precise communication style (Berryman, 1978;Mongomery and Norton, 1981).…”

“…Most research on sex differences deals with perceived differences; either self-reports of malefemale behaviors, or others' reports of perceived behaviors, rather than actual behavioral differences (Thorne, Kramarae, & Henley, 1983;Staley & Cohen, 1988). Many studies indicate that stereotypes based on expected female and male roles are the sources of such differences (Kramer, 1978).…”

“…On the other hand, perception may be at least as important in characterizing how communication with male and female partners takes place as are actual behavioral differences (Kramer, 1978). Staley and Cohen (1988) argue that "self-perceptions affect both actual behavior and stereotyped projections by providing standards which are used in making our own behavioral choices and in evaluating the behavior of others" (p. 193).…”
