ABSTRACT

This study examined the effects of gender, gender role identity and two personality characteristics on the perceived communication difficulty with male and female college students. Statistical analysis revealed in the same-sex communication female perceived more communication difficulty than male, but in the opposite-sex communication no gender effect was found. Gender role identity had significant effects on the same- and opposite-sex communication. That is, the person with the androgynous and masculine gender role identity perceived the lower level of communication difficulty than feminine and undifferentiated the one in the same- and opposite-sex communication. Also the person with the low level of neuroticism and high level of extraversion has low level of perceived communication difficulty. And regression analysis revealed extraversion has the greatest effect, which is followed by neuroticism, but the masculinity and femininity has no effects on the perceived communication difficulty in male and female.
