“…Also, females tend to interrupt more than males do during same-gender conversations [20]. Even though the use of interruptions in the conversation contradicts the claim of Coates [7] that it is a means of hogging the conversational floor, the use of overlaps concurs with Eakins and Eakins' [11] assertion that these are due to over-anticipation of the turn boundary and eagerness to reinforce the ideas discussed.…”

Abstract:With the existence of language and gender studies emphasizing the male and female dichotomy in interactional strategies, this study aimed to investigate the verbal communication behaviors of language classroom mixed-gender and samegender group conversations involving the same interlocutors. The transcribed data obtained from the three fifteen-minute recorded group interactions indicated that questions and expressions of agreement were the typical behaviors employed by the interlocutors. The results showed that aside from the gender of the interlocutor and the gender composition of the group, the nature of talk and the group size influence the use of particular behaviors. The findings have implications on providing a locally-acquired data on classroom peer talks in the field of language and gender.

“…Same-gender play among girls tends to be affiliative and collaborative, whereas samegender play among boys tends to be more controlling and competitive (Cherry Wilkinson, Lindow, & Chiang, 1985;Leaper, 1991;Maccoby, 1998;Sheldon, 1990Sheldon, , 1992Strough & Berg, 2000). These gender differences become less pronounced in mixedgender play because girls tend to change their interaction style to be more assertive with boys than with girls (Cherry Wilkinson et al, 1985;Goodwin & Goodwin, 1987;Hall, 1984;Sgan & Pickert, 1980;Strough & Berg, 2000), whereas boys' style varies relatively little (Leaper, 1991;Leaper & Holliday, 1995;McCloskey & Coleman, 1992;Miller, Danaher, & Forbes, 1986;Strough & Berg, 2000). Child psychologists have argued that girls adapt their play styles to the gender of their play partners because they find it necessary to use more assertive behavior to influence boys (Leaper, 1991;Maccoby, 1998).…”

We studied interactive effects of gender in negotiation dyads, theorizing that the degree and manner of a negotiator's persistence are functions of the gender composition of the dyad. Our findings challenge sex-stereotypic perspectives, showing that women persist more with male naysayers than with female naysayers but do so in a stereotypically low-status (more indirect than direct) manner. Women's adaptation of their persistence to naysayer gender appeared functional because increased persistence with male naysayers helped close a gender gap in performance, and female negotiators with high performance adjusted their manner of persistence more than those with low performance.

“…As a consequence, it is not surprising that language differences between women and men have been and continue to be documented. These differences occur in the conversational interactions of adult women and men (see Coates, 1986Coates, , 1989Holmes, 1995;Lakoff, 1975Lakoff, , 1990Tannen, 1986Tannen, , 1990Tannen, , 1994, for reviews) as well as in those of children (Leaper, 1991;Maltz & Borker, 1982, McCloskey & Coleman, 1992Sachs, 1987). These differences tend not to be all or none.…”

Gender and Conversational Style as Predictors of Conversational Behavior

Because gender and speech style co-vary, effects that have been attributed to speakers’ gender-based status might in fact be consequences of how people respond to particular styles of speech. To examine the relative impact of gender and speech style on conversants’ speech behavior, female and male confederates were trained to employ a facilitative or a nonfacilitative style of speech in interactions with young adults. Analyses of participants’ conversations with confederates showed that confederate speech style, rather than confederate gender, was a more reliable predictor of participants’ speech behavior. In conjunction with analyses of participant accommodation to confederate speech, the results revealed subtle differences in how women and men responded to the behavior of confederates.
