Mulac et al., 1998). One such feature is the backchannel - a one or two word utterance by a listener in response to their conversational partner\u2019s speech - e.g. \u201Cuh-huh\u201D, \u201Cright\u201D, \u201Cyeah\u201D. It has been found that men and women use and interpret backchannels differently, e.g., to facilitate conversation, to express agreement. The present study investigated whether variables such as spending time in a long-term heterosexual relationship, gender schematicity (sex-typed v. non-sex-typed), and linguistic experience play a role in the ability to differentiate between male and female use of backchannels in conversations between the sexes. Participants were 156 male and female students from Barry University. They read eight conversational excerpts containing backchannels and completed the Mulac Rating Scale, a measure of perceived meanings, for each excerpt. Participants also completed the Bern Sex Role Inventory, to determine gender schematicity, and a demographic questionnaire. The results indicated that men and women interpreted backchannels differently in the areas of perceived control over the conversation (men greater) and continuity within the conversation (men greater). There were no significant differences in the interpretation of backchannels based on length of relationship, gender schematicity, or linguistic experience. However, it was found that backchannels were interpreted differently depending on the sex of the conversational partner. Our data supported the notion of a same-sex shared language (i.e., each sex understands their \u0022own\u0022 language better than that of the opposite sex) rather than a two-culture theory." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Classification" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "P96.S48 W35 2001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publication Date" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "2001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Genre" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Academic theses" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Holding Location" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University Archives and Special Collections" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Resource Identifier" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "P96.S48 W35 2001_WaltersCheryl" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Language" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "English" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Permanent Link" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "http://sobekcmsrv.barrynet.barry.edu/AA00001566/00001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Creator" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Walters, Cheryl" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Note" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Thesis (M.S.)--Barry University, 2001.", "Includes bibliographical references (leaves 43-47)." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Physical Description" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "55 leaves ; 28 cm" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publisher" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Place of Publication" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Miami, Fla." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Type" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Book" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Rights Management" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Copyright Cheryl Walters.
