520 |a Every day, observations and predictions are made about people's gender on the basis of their communicative behaviors and the roles individuals play in their culture. Although interest in the relationship between biological sex and communication may be traced to the beginning of this century, much of the research on gender and communication has been produced over the past 15 years. Examining the history of gender and communication reveals how these topics are related. Communication is related to gender because communication identifies roles and encourages or discourages the internalizing of predispositions that relate to masculinity and femininity. Gender also relates to communication because it influences the specific use of verbal and nonverbal codes, languages of the masculine and feminine subcultures. Two major problems account for the difficulty in effective and appropriate communication across these subcultures: (1) it is assumed that gender and sex are synonyms; and (2) perceptions of behavior are often confused with actual behavior. The dilemmas in this area can be solved if people are willing to separate their perceptions of themselves or of others from the behaviors that they or others exhibit, and if gender and sex are viewed as distinctive constructs. Sex refers to biological differences between people; gender refers to internalized predispositions about masculine and feminine roles. (Twenty-two references are attached.) (MM)
