Document Summary
Women laugh more than twice as often than men do in conversation (especially if they are the speakers) Still the case even when men are the speakers. Men are more likely than women to engage in long monologues and interrupt when others are talking. Less likely to ask for help or directions because doing so implies a reduction in their authority. Social interaction: involves people communicating face to face or via computer, acting and reacting in relation to other people. It is structured around norms, roles, and statuses. Status is recognized social position people with higher status (men) get more laughs, whereas people with lower statuses (women) laugh more. Social structure influences who laughs more laughing is not spontaneous it"s a signal of who has more power. A role is a set of expected behaviors. A norm is a generally accepted way of doing things.
