Do girls really talk more than guys?

Psychologists are dispelling the myth that women are more talkative than men. Six years of in depth research shows little difference between the daily word counts of the sexes. Admittedly women do come out on top, but only by a small margin.

Researchers at the University of Arizona recorded the conversations of 400 US and Mexican students using an EAR, an electronically activated recorder, triggered when study participants started to speak. On average, women spoke 16,215 words a day, while men spoke 15,669.

The findings, published in the journal Science, challenge recent claims made by a renowned neuropsychiatrist that women use nearly three times as many words as men every day. In the bestseller The Female Brain, Louann Brizendine famously quoted a figure of 20,000, versus 7000 for men, however these numbers have been widely disputed.
