The differences in approach and interpretation of messages from everyday communication, which characterize the exponents of the two genders, have attracted the attention of specialists from fields such as psychology, neurophysiology, biology, linguistics, sociology, and philosophy.
Endowed with qualities that individualize them both biologically and socio-culturally, the representatives of the two sides - male - female - assimilate values and develop behaviors that, as a whole, should help them complement each other. This complementarity, however, does not work with the same precision in every situation, stage or context of life.
Thus, the coordinates under which the communication is carried out bring back into focus the arguments regarding the structural and behavioral differences determining the quality of the communication act.
The article undertakes a theoretical approach, which aims to identify and analyze from a bio-psycho-socio-behavioral perspective the most relevant elements underlying these distinctions.
