你和你男朋友来自哪里?
我们来自山西。
我是问你们来自哪个星球。
哦,我们来自地球。
不,你来自金星,你男朋友来自火星。
你这么说是什么意思?
有句谚语说:“男人来自火星,女人来自金星。” 这句话准确地说明了男人和女人是不同的。
男人和女人之间的交流也可以被看作是跨文化的交流。
来自不同文化背景的人们说着不同的方言。
事实上,约翰·格雷在《男人来自火星,女人来自金星》一书中
暗示男人和女人的沟通方式如此不同,他们似乎来自不同的行星。
性别交流的最大特点就是存在许多一般性差异。
然而,男人错误地期望女人以男人的方式思考、沟通和做出反应;
女人错误地期望男人以女人的方式沟通和回应。
我们忘记了男人和女人本来就是不同的。
结果,我们的关系充满了不必要的摩擦和冲突。
哦,我明白了! 难怪有时我觉得我和我男朋友住的很远。
既然你知道你们俩来自不同的行星,你应该怎么做才能靠近他呢?
我会乘火箭飞到他的星球。
并不需要火箭。
只要经常换位思考,你就会到达他的星球。
现在我想介绍一些避免男女之间误解的策略。
首先,你必须理解男人和女人之间的语言差异。
男人的谈话倾向于关注事实; 女人的谈话倾向于强调事实背后的感觉。
男人通过一次思考一个问题来很好地解决问题,通常是自己独立解决;
但是女人通常需要与别人谈论问题来梳理想法。
男人着手处理情况时,有做出决策和采取行动的强烈愿望,
而对于同样的情况,女人有时只想谈论她们的感受。
男人往往说话很直接,使用字面意思,而女人倾向于间接表达。
另外,有必要了解男性和女性之间更具体的沟通领域。
例如,Kim和Jin就研究了男性和女性之间一个更具体的沟通领域,即手机的使用。
在他们的文章“不同的声音”中,
他们提出使用手机的人际动机问题,以及是否存在手机使用的性别差异。
他们的研究发现,女性使用短信比男性多,男性使用语音电话通信多于女性。
他们的研究表明,女性使用手机比男性多,
因为这是她们保持密切的人际关系和她们与远方的人们建立亲密关系的方式。
另一个建议是消除性别歧视的观念,赞赏和尊重那些不同。
承认男人和女人天生就是不同的。
不要因性别差异而倍感挫败,请尊重他们,并学习如何与他们合作。
最后,鼓励女性直接表达自己的想法,并且提高男性解读他人的能力。
所以,女士们,给你的男同学、男朋友思考所需要的时间和空间,
心甘情愿地与他们一起工作,找到你们可以一起践行的解决方案,
并且用他们可以清晰理解的方式和他们说话。
先生们,当你的女同学、女朋友对于你们面对的问题分享她们的想法和感受时,
请你倾听并提出问题,弄清楚她们真正在说什么。
现在让我们来评估一下我们的学习效果吧。
我们从来都不出去。
亲爱的,我们去逛商场吧。
