Abstract

During conversations, there is often a short silence between the end of one turn and the beginning of the next. These silences tend to be brief. If a speaker waits too long before starting their turn it may trigger a negative interpretation (e.g., that the speaker is lying). We investigated whether the sense that a response took too long is related to the time it typically takes speakers in general to respond to a given question, participants' tendency to over- or underestimate temporal durations, and participants' level of general and social anxiety. Average response time for individual questions was related to variation in participants' sense that a response has taken too long, but biases in time perception, general anxiety, and social anxiety were not.

一项关于回合间沉默持续太久的感觉的调查。

在谈话中，在一个回合结束和下一个回合开始之间通常会有短暂的沉默。这些沉默往往是短暂的。如果一个说话者等待太久才开始发言，可能会引发负面的解读（例如，说话者在撒谎）。我们调查了一个回答花了太长时间的感觉是否与演讲者通常花在回答给定问题上的时间有关，参与者倾向于高估或低估时间持续时间，以及参与者的一般和社交焦虑水平。个别问题的平均回答时间与参与者感觉回答时间过长的变化有关，但时间感知偏差、一般焦虑和社交焦虑则无关。

期刊介绍： The journal provides coverage spanning a broad spectrum of topics in all areas of experimental psychology. The journal is primarily dedicated to the publication of theory and review articles and brief reports of outstanding experimental work. Areas of coverage include cognitive psychology broadly construed, including but not limited to action, perception, & attention, language, learning & memory, reasoning & decision making, and social cognition. We welcome submissions that approach these issues from a variety of perspectives such as behavioral measurements, comparative psychology, development, evolutionary psychology, genetics, neuroscience, and quantitative/computational modeling. We particularly encourage integrative research that crosses traditional content and methodological boundaries.
