Zachowania komunikacyjne polityków - kobiet i mężczyzn
Communication behaviours of female and male politicians

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to compare the communication strategies of women and men in politics. Two different aspects of communication behaviors were investigated: the issues taken up by politicians (Study 1) and their self – presentation strategies (Study 2). One hundred twenty political statements of men and women affiliated with different political parties were studied (60 statements in each study). The results of these studies show that there were no significant differences between men and women in politics with respect to the issues they take up and the offensive self presentation strategies they show. However, in the case of the assertive self presentation strategy, a trend of between-groups differences was observed. Men tended to use assertive self presentation strategies to a greater degree than women.
