How does the conversation feel?
Research shows that conversation is often viewed negatively. A study has shown that the voices of young adult women with a difficult voice are perceived as less competent, less educated, less trustworthy, less attractive and less employable.
For example, many female staff members of the radio show This American Life began receiving angry and hateful emails complaining about their broadcasting voices and allegedly having vocals. The emails (mostly from men) describe women's voices as "unbearable", "teenage boring", "more than boring", "annoying", and even goes as far as to say that the voice "damages a journalist's reputation". “. "Phew.
Anderson says that the misconception about uptalk is that it’s a demonstration of a lack of confidence, when really, it’s subconsciously intended to not offend the receiver of the speech and welcomes feedback. She says, “We begin to perceive the ways in which we show empathy or compassion with our voices as a weakness, when in actuality it is a demonstration of our ability to consider the perception of others in the workplace. Socialization has indeed made the practice of uptalk more noticeable in women because it is perceived as a gendered communication trait, but...that perception is an extension of the patriarchal practices we find consistently in the workplace.”
That’s right, the harsh judgement and overt tone policing that accompany uptalk are all due to patriarchal expectations that still exist in society. Anderson says, “Patriarchal practices infer that the ‘male way’ is to be forceful, unapologetic, and commanding in all communicative situations and any deviation from that is inherently ‘feminine’ and can hinder success. This is a fatalistic trope in the workplace.”
But, are there any advantages? Let's stop for a moment. Are there any positive studies that show chat is beneficial?
True indeed. Although considered a boring and insecure style of speaking, uptalk is actually a valuable communication tool. A study in Hong Kong found that meeting hosts – the most powerful people in the room – use three to seven times higher intonation than their subordinates, showing that conversation is helpful to assert leadership qualities.
Uptalk allows speakers to keep their interlocutors engaged and attentive, which automatically requires respect. It's an easy way for leaders to come together to suggest ideas to a team, instead of imposing demands, and to establish an equal environment where leaders are also listeners. Other research shows that conversation is a way to keep the word going and discourage interruptions.
Women are constantly monitored for their tone and speed of speech. It's a trap-22 where we're told we're sorry too much , say too much "like" and appear too submissive, but at the same time we are advised not to be too bossy or bossy. Not only is it unfair to judge someone based solely on their voice or tone, but research shows that changing the way you speak at work can reduce your ability to solve problems. complex topics, generate ideas and maintain your personal investment in the work.
Anderson adds that because conversation is just one of many language practices (regional accent, speed of speech, use of accompaniment, etc.) that mark our identity and uniqueness as individuals, it it is important to normalize all different speech patterns, especially those of women. “I strongly believe in leadership with self-awareness,” she says.
When you can identify unique traits that are part of your own speech patterns, it can help to recognize utterances as identifiers, not value judgments. For example, I usually speak at a fast pace and accept that this is who I am, so I do not judge or make biased inferences about those who may speak at a slower pace. I see who they are.
In and out of the workplace, we need to recognize that there are linguistic differences in the way people speak and that there is no right way to say it. It is important to remain open-minded and receptive to linguistic trends and to begin to examine our own linguistic biases and stereotypes. Women don't have to "talk like men" to be respected.⁹
“Normalizing the [women] presence, which has been present in the workplace for decades, includes normalizing our unique ways of talking,” Anderson said. True inclusion requires total acceptance of who we are – our bodies, the way we work and the way we speak.
