Language experts say the old problem of communication between men and women may be related to evolutionary processes.
Different evolutionary processes
The inability to communicate between the sexes has become an eternal theme in music, literature, and daily conversation. Why do men and women have trouble communicating?
In a new book entitled "Why Men Don't Listen, Women Don't Read Maps," Australian language expert Pice points out that the problem lies in the intonation of our voices.
He believes that during human evolution, men and women have formed different intonation and communication styles.
Intonation
"First of all, we found that women use an average of five different tones of voice when speaking. Intonation is used to start a new topic or change the topic," said Piss.
"But men only use three tones of speech, and often can only distinguish three of the five female tones. That is, when a woman uses five tones to talk about different new things, many men believe that she is always repeating a topic. This explains why a man always looks confused when talking to a group of women."
But what is the basis of this theory? Peiss believes that evolution is the reason why men and women have different communication styles and different ways of thinking.
Number of signals sent
Piss' theory is that a woman's brain has the ability to communicate effectively at the verbal, vocal, and nonverbal levels. This is related to their millions of years of childbearing and the role of so-called "caretakers".
Men's brains have the ability to hit targets from a distance. The problem is that women can use language, intonation changes, gestures, and facial expressions to send as many as 24000 communication signals within a day.
Men can only send a maximum of 7000 to 10000 signals per day. This is why most men say that women are nagging all day long.
Dr. Sigman, a psychologist at the University of Brighton in the United Kingdom, supports the theory of evolution. Dr. Siegmann believes that human communication methods and abilities today have actually been formed long before human history.
Dr. Sigman said that in evolution, men need to be muscular and simple minded in order to go hunting and get their prey back into caves. Women have to deal with several children and take care of other things.
At the same time, women need to be able to discern the intentions of strangers. Therefore, their communication skills and the ability to observe behavior are particularly strong.
Change hopeless
In this case, is there any hope of improving communication between men and women? Do men still have opportunities to improve their communication skills? Piss thought there was no hope.
He said, "Men's brain function is a single direction, and most men's brains can only do one thing at a time. Therefore, if you talk to a man, it is recommended that you speak clearly one point at a time. Otherwise, most men will not understand what you are saying. However, they should pretend to understand. This often leads to misunderstandings."
Piss' new book poses a challenge to many contemporary feminist theories. They deny the psychological and emotional differences between men and women.
However, in recent years, research on the physiological structure of the human brain has confirmed Pius's view. In many Western countries, there is increasing research on gender differences. People want to study these differences to improve interpersonal relationships.
