Women speak 3,000 more words daily than men during midlife, study shows


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

The stereotype that women are much more talkative than men is pervasive across many cultures, but a widely reported study by University of Arizona researchers in 2007 refuted the claim, finding that men and women speak roughly the same number of words per day—around 16,000.

A new, larger follow-up to that study paints a more nuanced picture, suggesting that women may be the chattier gender, but only during a certain period of life.

The work is published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

Even 16,000 words is usually 15,000 more than most people need to say :P    

There's a theory that says humans have to keep talking because if they don't their brains start working :o
