The stereotype that women are more talkative than men is one that is fairly ingrained in our society; the chatty female and silent male are recognizable archetypes. In the first print of The Female Brain, Louann Brizendine claimed that women use 20,000 words per day while men use 7,000.

The students carried the voice-activated recorders for almost all of their waking hours, on average about 17 hours a day. The study found that women spoke 16,215 words a day, while men spoke 15,669. Although women speak slightly more words than men, statistically, the difference is insignificant, according to Matthias R. Mehl, a psychology professor at the University of Arizona and the study's lead author.

The EAR is a digital voice recorder that records 30 seconds every 12.5 minutes. This allows the researchers to capture 5% of every day. They had a sample set size of 396 (210 women and 186 men). These men and women samples were taken from studies Dr. Mehl and his team had completed previously.

One person used an estimated 795 words on average per day (an abstract in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one at night, Dr. Mehl jokes), while another used almost 47,000 words (both the least and the most talkative participant were men).

Women speak an average of 20,000 words a day vs. 7,000 words for men, according to Louann Brizendine, a practicing physician at the University of California-San Francisco and author of The Female Brain.

Tell him - at length, of course - it is all because of the Foxp2 protein. It has been claimed previously that women speak about 20,000 words a day - some 13,000 more than the average man. It has been claimed that women speak about 20,000 words a day - 13,000 more than the average man - and scientists say a higher amount of the Foxp2 protein is the reason women are more chatty. But now scientists have found the key to explaining why women are the more talkative sex.

New research is about to blow up stereotypes of the strong, silent man and the overly chatty woman who nags him. According to a study released today, men talk just as much as women — on average 16,000 words in a day. Using digital voice recorders over an eight-year period, researchers at the University of Arizona studied how many words hundreds of American and Mexican college students spoke over several days.

“We found that there was no significant gender difference whatsoever,” Dr. Mehl said. On average, women speak 16,215 words per day and men speak 15,669 words per day. However, Dr. Mehl says that the mean is not the best descriptor of this distribution—the distribution for this study was huge.

Women have a gift for gab, and now they can silence their critics with science. New research indicates there’s a biological reason why women talk so much more than men: 20,000 words a day spoken by the average woman, according to one study, versus about 7,000 words a day for the average man.
