blog #18 Guiller, Jane, and A. Durndell. "‘I Totally Agree with You’: Gender Interactions in Educational Online Discussion Groups."

This study echoes the same tune reflecting how the male and female sex when they are online and in person. The study found that the female participants were in agreement with their fellow classmates more often than the male participants were. And when the female participants did express their opinion, most of the time it was in agreement with their fellow classmates. The male participants on the other hand did the opposite. To me, this study just reassures me what I already know just from life experiences. Women tend to agree more and men tend to disagree more.
