Cultural difference approach to male/female miscommunication |
|
Definition
| In the Maltz and Borker article “A cultural Approach to Male-female Miscommunication”, they point out about five major differences in male and female communication and interaction. Women ask questions more, maintaining routine interaction, minimal response, silent protests and more pronoun usage in communicating with others. Men are more likely to interrupt, challenge, ignore others comments, control or shift the topic and make more declarations of facts/opinions. Men and women approach talking to each other differently and use a different communication structure that often leads to miscommunication of the sex’s co-interaction. |
