Are Women Actually Better Communicators?
It's long been assumed that women are more inclined towards language and communication, and now they finally have the research to prove it. Scientific American has published new findings that show that females have higher levels of activity in the language center of their brains than males. The article states:
In a classroom setting, it implies that boys need to be taught language both visually (with a textbook) and orally (through a lecture) to get a full grasp of the subject, whereas a girl may be able to pick up the concepts by either method.
While this study shows that women do have a greater understanding of language, it doesn't actually prove that they're better communicators. Unfortunately, when it comes to relationships, talking and communicating are two different things, so perhaps we're wrong in assuming that having stronger language skills makes women better at communicating. Weigh in and tell me what you think — science aside, are women really better at communication than men?
