ABSTRACT
In this second edition of Sex Differences and Similarities in Communication, Kathryn Dindia and Daniel Canary have brought together authoritative reviews of what has become a vast array of research on gender, communication, and social behavior. Several issues are prominent in the field and surface across multiple chapters: the gender similarities hypothesis; the question of whether researchers should study gender differences at all; the question of interpretation, that is, what do we make of findings of gender differences; the concept of doing gender; the importance of context; the interaction of gender and ethnicity; and the interaction of gender and social class.
