He told us they were a select group of  men turn deaf ear to assertive women study suggests Boston up assertiveness May be a virtue for men but women who want to get their Point across to the opposite sex need to be warm nonthreatening and even a bit tentative a Massachusetts researcher said saturday. Psychologist Linda Carli of Wellesley College in Massachusetts said studies she conducted on differences in communication styles Between the sexes revealed a wide gender  in the Way in which men and women were perceived. Men who equate assertiveness with competency in other men appear to be turned off by women who might be skilled and successful but do not convey a certain sense of vulnerability. In one study Carli had male and female actors record messages using both assertive and tentative styles of speaking. Then she had 60 men and an equal number of women listen to the tapes and rate the speaker s compe tence. She found that although the men were impressed with other men who sounded confident and competent that was not the Way they rated the female speakers. The women who sounded most impressive to the men in the study were those who spoke with a soft tone of warmth and friendliness. Apparently Given the lower status of women in our culture men May be threatened by a competent woman who does t soften her communication style Carli said. Women on the other hand responded favourably to other women who sounded sure and confident even when they were not particularly warm the psychologist reported at the annual meeting of the american association for the advancement of science
