Still Waters Posted February 4 #1 Share Posted February 4 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. https://phys.org/news/2025-02-women-words-daily-men-midlife.html 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
