Male/female language differences and attributional consequences in a public speaking situation: Toward an explanation of the gender‐linked language effect

Mulac, Anthony, Lundell, Torborg Louisa, Bradac, James J.·1986·Communication Monographs

Abstract

One‐minute transcripts of 30 university students' first in‐class public speeches earlier (Mulac & Lundell, 1982a) demonstrated the Gender‐Linked Language Effect: females rated higher on Socio‐Intellectual Status and Aesthetic Quality; males higher on Dynamism. For the present study, these transcripts were analyzed linguistically by 11 trained coders for 35 language features selected as potential discriminators of speaker gender. Discriminant analysis results showed that a combination of 20 of these features could account for 99% of the between‐gender variance, permitting 100% accuracy of gender prediction. Multiple regression analyses demonstrated that 13 of the gender‐discriminating language features predicted the three attributional dimensions in ways consistent with the Gender‐Linked Language Effect.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
