Men and women communicate in completely different ways.

By using Cohens d statistic, which determines how large the difference between groups is, relative to the variability within these groups, interesting observations have been made.

In fact, when women were in charge, studies found that they interrupted more than their male counterparts. Also, women are only slightly (statistically) more self-disclosing than men. However, research does suggest women are better than males at reading emotions from peoples faces. Thats why we need more female United Nation negotiators!
