Abstract: In this artide, we found that more and more males and females show an androgynous characteristics and that the masculinity has a higher sensitivity on pragmatic awareness than the femininity. Participants show different pragmatic awareness on social situations and demonstrate significant difference on the perception of the burden of kindness. Meanwhile, sex roles still have different perceptions on the same social situation. The results reveals that participants construct their pragmatic awareness in the communication process. A successful communication requires the participants to improve their sensitivity on the differences of sex roles and social situations, so the intercultural communication teaching shall concentrate on cultivating students’ critical inter-cultural communicative competence.
