- Abstract
St ereotypically female patterns of speech communication, including expression of empathy, sharing similar experiences, and askingfurther questions were compared to typical male patterns of communication in gender attraction. Following presentation of the two conversations, the Attractive Communication Styles Survey and the Conversation Survey Questionnaire assessed differences in attraction between the two conversation styles, with a convenience sample of 164 university students. Analyses revealed both men and women valuing the stereotypicalfemale pattern of communication, but differing in the intensity of support, with women st rongly favoring and men slightly favoring the female pattern, t(72) = 6.35, p < .01; t(90) = 13.81, p < .01. Implications for further research on dyadic inter- action effects on attraction are supported.
