Do you feel comfortable when communicating with the opposite sex? Why/why not
Yes, usually. Depending on whether I feel comfortable with that person based on me already knowing them or first impressions.

Do you find it easier to communicate with a member of the same sex?
Yes

Why/Why not?
Female on female is usually a lot easier due to a mutual connection and understanding.

Do you believe that males and females have different styles of communication?
Yes, for sure.

If yes what differences have you noticed? (Comment upon each of the following areas if relevant)

Body language

Males may be more reserved while females tend to express themselves more fluently in relation to body language.

Openness to display emotions
Once again, males may be more reserved when emotions are involved (embarrassment, sadness, anger), whereas females are stereotypically labelled to openly display emotions.

Common topics of conversation in small groups
Other people (i.e through gossip), things in magazines, school subjects and topics, relationships and sex.

Common topics of conversation in public
Whatever is on one's mind.

Level of comfort in speaking in front of a large group
Miniscule. Very much so.



Good luck, Xx :)

Body language
women are far more descreet and particular with their body language, i think their very aware of it and and the way it can impact what you are saying. As far as ive seen, men either dont care or dont notice their body language.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Openness to display emotions
i believe women are far more open to this, but then again, who knows what happens between men when women arnt around...

Do you feel comfortable when communicating with the opposite sex? Why/why not
Depends, just like when I'm talking to other girls. There are some people I'm never going to be comfortable talking to, and others who I will, it's more a personality thing than anything else

Do you find it easier to communicate with a member of the same sex? Yes

Why/Why not?
I tend to find that girls understand things better than guys, when it comes to understanding some concepts, especially more abstract things. Also, I go to an all girls school, and it makes you realise that between girls, no topic is sacred. I'm now really conscious of the fact that guys will get kinda creeped out by some stuff that we consider normal, so I tend to be a lot ore aware of what I'm saying to them, which kind of stilts (for want of a better word) the conversation.

Do you believe that males and females have different styles of communication? Yes

If yes what differences have you noticed? (Comment upon each of the following areas if relevant)

Body language
I've noticed that girls have more of a tendancy to gesticulate when they're talking. Also, we tend to be a lot more aware of body language - most girls tend to notice if someone tenses up when a certain topic is mentioned more than guys (not that that's always going to make us shut up, mind you)

Openness to display emotions
Girls tend to be a lot more willing to cry in front of their friends. In fact, they'll often go and find a friend to cry with, which most guys wouldn't do. And we bitch about stuff more, which means that things get out in the open more easily.

Common topics of conversation in small groups
I don't really know what guys talk about in small groups when we're not around, but I'm fairly sure that they don't talk about their new bras/how they need to get new bras/their insane PMS inflicted chocolate craving. I don't think guys tend to find out as much about each other's girlfriends as we do about each other's boyfriends, either

Common topics of conversation in public
I think both groups tend to talk about fairly generic stuff, which interests as many people in the group as possible. So movies, music, what people are doing on the weekend etc.

Level of comfort in speaking in front of a large group
That's more a personality thing than anything else, I think. But the guys I did drama with last year were a lot less concerned about looking like idiots than most of the females I know, so public speaking probably doesn't seem as daunting for them.

Do you feel comfortable when communicating with the opposite sex? Why/why not
yes, because i have grown up in a male dominated household, having older brothers and male cousins, whose friends frequently linger at my home.


Do you find it easier to communicate with a member of the same sex? no

Why/Why not?
in some ways it is easier to communicate with the same sex, as such private things occur that only the same sex can identify. but i find that it can be easier to confide to a male, as females frequently gossip infront of larger groups. males also may have different perspectives upon views that may be discussed.


Do you believe that males and females have different styles of communication? yes

If yes what differences have you noticed? (Comment upon each of the following areas if relevant)

-

Openness to display emotions
besides the occassional emo boy, girls do often have moodswings more open and shown in the public eye and is more of a sulk than anger, where as males usually get angry when having a moodswing, both however openly express happiness!

Common topics of conversation in small groups
boys often talk about their penis's, although usually being a joke, other times they do not talk, they are too distracted by kicking a ball at someones head. females do often gossip in small groups.

Common topics of conversation in public
i think this is equal

This survey assists me with my personal interest project that counts for 30% of my HSC mark in society and culture. Please consider your answers carefully and answer seriously.

Gender: F


Age: 18

Do you feel comfortable when communicating with the opposite sex? Why/why not
Usually. I used to not, but I grew out of it.



Do you find it easier to communicate with a member of the same sex? Yes/no
Why/Why not?
It's less likely that I will feel uncomfortable with a female, and also less likely that I will develop a crush on them. I just find girls easier to talk to and find that I have more in common with them.

Do you believe that males and females have different styles of communication? Yes/no
Usually, no (we all talk, yeah.) But I guess the inferred meanings are often different: what's implied by body language and nuances tends to differ.

If yes what differences have you noticed? (Comment upon each of the following areas if relevant)

Body language
Hold themselves differently, often use different/ more gestures

Openness to display emotions
Differs from guy to guy, just like it does from girl to girl.

Common topics of conversation in small groups
Tends to be the same as with girls when in mixed groups, and in all-guy groups it depends on th guys.

Level of comfort in speaking in front of a large group
Differs from guy to guy, but most seem to be more comfortable making total idiots of themselves in public as it's funny when a guy does it and rarely so when a girl does it.

Other/explain
Guys are not capable of whispering properly.

Do you feel comfortable when communicating with the opposite sex? Why/why not
Of course, i have no reason not to feel comfortable


Do you find it easier to communicate with a member of the same sex?Yes/no

Depending on my relationship with them, but we usually have more things in common


Do you believe that males and females have different styles of communication? Yes/no

If yes what differences have you noticed? (Comment upon each of the following areas if relevant)

Guys usually use more gestures and are not as open to being as touchy feely. Where as girls will often greet both guys and girls with kisses on the cheek, hugs etc.

Openness to display emotions
Guys usually present emotions in a form of violence, where as girls display it more openly... and yes we do cry more easily.

Common topics of conversation in small groups
With girls everything from guys, clothes/shopping, sex, and yes i will admit it guys... we do talk about your penis size and how good you were in bed. With guys... i have no idea, my guess is sex/girls, alcohol,etc

Girls... anything, everything, current events general life stuff.
Guys... whatever comes to mind.

Level of comfort in speaking in front of a large group
Guys tend to make more of a joke about things, where as girls take things more seriously. (depending on the conversation)

From experience i have come to realise that after a weekend or party the only topic of conversation with guys is how drunk they were and what girl/s they were with... and they are open to tell anyone.
