Summary The main point of the article is to follow the styles of interactions between males and females in the single sex and mixed groups in order to see if the gender composition of these groups is in connection with the kinds of interactions and their styles practiced within these groups. One of the main perspectives of the author of this article is to explore group interactions critically because the society often uses stereotypes to describe interactions between men and women. The author intends to follow the interactions between the members of same and opposite sex to determine how the group composition affects group processes. The author researches the group interactions not from the perspectives of characters and personalities, but from the perspective of relationships between sexes. This way the author intends to demonstrate that men and women choose their styles of interactions according to the sex composition of their groups, and their personal character traits play a less important role there.

Evaluation The article and the research conducted by its author elaborate on the personal styles of communication people of both sexes tend to choose and the reasons why they stick to certain interactional pattern.
