Qualitative differences in communication observed in same-gender and mixed-gender dyads, suggesting personality plays a key role.
Although many studies have examined the effect of gender pairing in communicative activities among English learners, mixed results have been observed.This study sought to examine qualitative differences among Japanese students in both same-gender and mixed-gender dyads.Though the sample size was relatively small, patterns observed were that negotiation of meaning and listener/speaker communicative assistance differed between male-male dyads and femalefemale dyads.However, individual personality played a perhaps stronger role in influencing communicative style regardless of gender pairing.
