| description | Michaud and Warner (1997) and Basow and Rubenfeld (2003) recently reported studies of gender differences in "troubles talk" that allegedly provide support for the different cultures thesis, that is, the notion that men and women communicate in such different ways that they should be regarded as members of different communication cultures or speech communities. In this article, we identify several limitations in these two studies that, collectively, have the effect of casting doubt on their conclusions. We then report three studies that show that men and women provide and respond to supportive messages ("troubles talk") in ways that are much more similar than different. The current findings, in conjunction with other recent findings, suggest that the different cultures thesis is a myth that should be discarded. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] |
