Abstract:
|
The gender-linked language effect demonstrates that men and women differ in their language use which results in different evaluative outcomes for communicators. Individuals using prototypical male language are judged to be more dynamic than individuals using prototypical female language, whereas individuals using prototypical female language are judged to be more aesthetically pleasing and socio-intellectual than individuals using prototypical male language. Despite the consistent support for the construct, there is no clear theoretical account of the gender-linked language use differences that determine, in large part, the gender-linked language effect. As such, this research offers an initial step towards a theoretical account of gender-linked language use. Utilizing self-categorization theory, the current research examines the effects of sex, chronic gender identity accessibility (i.e., gender schematicity), and gender identity salience on gender-linked language use. Sex, gender schematicity, and gender identity salience were expected to have effects on gender-linked language use independently and interactively. However, results confirmed interactive effects only. Specifically, men and women use prototypical gender-linked language only when they are gender schematic and have a salient gender identity. When gender identity is not salient individuals use language prototypical of the opposite gender group. The results are discussed regarding previous research on gender-linked language use, the nature of gender identity salience with regards to the ostensibly conflictual gender-as-culture and dominance hypotheses, and the need to examine gender-linked language under a variety of contextual factors. |

| -1.20 Low Gender (High Student) High Gender (Low Student) Gender Identity Salience Note: As the function decreases prototypical female language increases and prototypical male language decreases. Groups that do not share a similar superscripted letter have statistically significantly different discriminant function score centroids (with the exception of the difference between men and women both of whom have high gender identity salience which almost reaches significance at p < .065.). F test for group comparisons are reported in Table 9. |
