Is There a Gender Difference Between Problem Solving and Discussion?

Brad: I do think that there is a gender difference in how often people default to problem solving versus discussion but it's not as big as you would think the biggest distinction is the person who most of us want to feel understood first and foremost before we do problem solving. Steve: The listening the listener is so much more likely to step right into problem solving for the exactly the reason that you just articulated Brad it's hard to see somebody that we love that we care about hurting. There's this sort of implicit commitment that we've made in partnering up that I'm going to make you happy, he says.
