“…But in Wang, Sierra, and Folger’s (2003) study, they found that there was no significant difference in terms of discussion styles and level of participation between males and females. Atai and Chahkandi (2012) also did not find gender differences in communication styles.…”

Collaboration skills have become a critical competency for health care providers. This study aims to understand how individual student characteristics and group process in the early phase of group development are associated with students' perception of their overall collaborative learning experience. The study was conducted in two consecutive semesters with a total of 86 health sciences undergraduate students participating. The results show that quality communication in the beginning phase of group development and health-care work experiences are two major factors associated with students' perception of overall collaborative learning. The findings confirm the importance of the initial phase of collaboration. Faculty should deliberately design collaborative learning experiences that offer orientation in enhancing the interactions among group members and allow quality communication to proliferate.

“…The term “online dialogue” is preferred over the commonly used “computer-mediated communication” (e.g., Atai & Chahkandi, 2012; Chua & Chua, 2017; Di Blasio & Milani, 2008) due to the public connotation. Computer-mediated communications include private messaging, video conferencing, and emails, which are not necessarily public, asynchronous, or text-based.…”

Textual Indicators of Deliberative Dialogue: A Systematic Review of Methods for Studying the Quality of Online Dialogues

High-quality online dialogues help sustain democracy. Deliberative theory, which predates the internet, provides the primary model for assessing the quality of online dialogues. It conceptualizes high-quality online dialogue as civil, rational, constructive, equal, interactive, and for the common good. More recently, advances in computation have driven an upsurge of empirical studies using automated methods for operationalizing online dialogue and measuring its quality. While related in their aims, deliberative theory and the wider empirical literature generally operate independently. To bridge the gap between the two literatures, we introduce Textual Indicators of Deliberative Dialogue (TIDDs). TIDDs are defined as text-based measures of online dialogue quality under a deliberative model (e.g., disagreement, incivility, and justifications). In this study, we identified 123 TIDDs by systematically reviewing 67 empirical studies of online dialogue. We found them to have mid-low reliability, low criterion validity, and high construct validity for measuring two deliberative dimensions (civility and rationality). Our results highlight the limitations of deliberative theory for conceptualizing the variety of ways online dialogues can be operationalized. We report the most promising TIDDs for measuring the quality of online dialogue and suggest deliberative theory would benefit from altering its models in line with the broader empirical literature.

“…Ciò nonostante, almeno in alcuni casi, l'evidenza empirica sembra supportare l'ipotesi della somiglianza di genere (Dindia & Canary, 2006;Hyde, 2005). Uomini e donne appaiono più simili che diversi nel modo di scrivere una e-mail (Colley & Todd, 2002;Palomares, 2008), nel lasciare commenti sui forum online (Guiller & Durndell, 2006), nel rispondere a quiz su Internet (Palomares & Lee, 2010), nel fornire o ricevere supporto dagli amici (Basow & Rubenfeld, 2003), e non emergono differenze nello stile comunicativo e nei richiami alla democrazia in messaggi su argomenti tipizzati per genere (Atai & Chahkandi, 2012).…”

This research examines gender differences in the linguistic style of Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) in e-mail exchanges. The gender salience of the context was varied by modifying the recipient of the e-mail (male or female) and the assigned topic of discussion (feminine, masculine and neutral). Participants comprised 485 (197F) university students who exchanged e-mails with a fictitious correspondent in the 12 experimental conditions of the design, obtained by crossing the gender of the two correspondents (sender and recipient) with three topics. Results show that women use fewer words, and that kinder and more tentative and emotional language is used when a woman writes to a man and viceversa. In addition, regardless of the recipient, women are more tentative when writing about a 'masculine' topic, and men are more tentative when writing about a 'feminine' topic. Interestingly, men use more emotional language when writing to a woman on a 'masculine' topic. The paper also considers whether the differences observed in English can be found in the Italian language.
