Used Book in Good Condition
For her book Learning to Lose, Dale Spencer used audio tapes to evaluate which gender spoke the most in mixed-gender university classrooms. Men were found to always talk more, and they could not perceive how much they spoke. Men perceived the ratio of being 'equal' when women spoke only 15% of the time, and thought that women were dominating the conversation if that percentage rose to only 30%.
I was actually slightly wrong after reading some sources, women on average tend to speak more to other women than men do to men, but men on average tend to speak more in larger groups and work place, which ends up at about men and women speaking around the same amount of time.
The source I had previously read has been recently debunked as having biased methods of research. Truth it is varies a lot from study to study, depending on social context, culture and age. There is no solid conclusion on who speaks more because it depends on many factors.
