A joint research team from the University of Arizona, Azusa Pacific University, and Seattle University recently published the results of a study of 2,197 people from four countries, including the United States, Switzerland, Serbia and Australia, in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology published by the American Psychological Association.
The age of the study subjects ranged from 10 to 94 years old, and there were 631,030 voice recording files.
The research team analyzed voice files using a language analysis program and measured the total number of words spoken per day.
As a result, men spoke an average of 10,195 words a day, and women spoke an average of 13,349 words a day.
The least talkative participants spoke less than 100 words a day. On the other hand, the most talkative participants spoke more than 120,000 words.
If this is calculated as an average waking time of 16 hours, it is about 7500 words per hour and 125 words per minute.
By age, women aged 25 to 64 spoke 3275 words more than men of their age, women aged 18 to 24 spoke 841 words more, and girls aged 10 to 17 spoke 513 words more.
On the other hand, in the elderly over 65, men spoke 788 words more than women.
The research team said, `There has been a stereotype that women are more chatty than men. However, the number of word uses appears to be different due to individual differences rather than gender, and "More follow-up studies are needed considering job status, personal personality, and surrounding environment."
