Some Results from Previous Trials
|
All in all we had 173 students participating in the trials. In Sweden. Groups have included language students, teacher trainees and active teachers.

Figure 1. Swedish responses |
The stereotypes that emerged from the awareness raising activities in Sweden showed that there were tendencies for respondents who listened to the male version to give higher scores on conversational features associated with competitive conversational styles (taking space, interrupting, contradicting etc.), while respondents who listened to the female version tended to score higher on features associated with collaborative conversational styles (being supportive, signalling interest and not taking too much space). The results are summarised in Figure 1 above. It seems that respondents in particular focussed on, and noted, aspects that were associated with male behaviour when listening to the male version and vice versa.
