By "more words" do you mean larger total volume of utterances (more talking) or greater number of different words (wider vocabulary used)? |

Yes, I mean "more talking"! Who does the most talking/utters the most words during a given period of time. e.g.one day. I had read somewhere it was females but a student in one on my psychology classes says it's males. We need proof. Thanks |

This might interest you: "Silence and talkativeness is another interesting aspect of gender-specificity in conversational strategies due to the fact that women are often believed to talk more than men. This widespread belief, however, has been unanimously disconfirmed by anthropologists. In an experiment where males and females were asked to describe three pictures, males were found to speak an average of 13 minutes per picture as opposed to females who only spoke an average of 3.17 minutes (Swacker, 1975). Further research shows that men talk more than women in public settings while being less involved in private talks (Coates, 1993; Eakins and Eakins, 1978; Spender, 1980; Steinem, 1991). Researchers who have investigated the issue have indicated that public settings were considered as a ground for competitiveness, hence the greater amount of talk by men in public. Women have been shown to talk more in private with female friends about topics often considered trivial and unimportant by men..." http://hhobel.phl.univie.ac.at/mii/gpmc.dir9606/msg00013.html |
