Periodic Rhythms in Conversational Speech

Language and Speech, 1979

Spectral analysis of the on-off vocal activity patterns from six conversations indicates that spo... more Spectral analysis of the on-off vocal activity patterns from six conversations indicates that spontaneous speech tends to alternate regularly between periods of high and low activity. These regular cycles are approximately 3 minutes and 6 minutes long. These interaction rhythms may be an emergent property of social systems, or they may be due to internal cognitive or physiological rhythms that affect readiness to initiate activity. The 3-and 6-minute cycles are too long to be accounted for in terms of the existing research on cognitive planning cycles of turn-taking. These cycles are an instance of a nonobvious temporal regularity in speech, which coexists with the turn-taking and grammatical regularities that are apparent to naive observers.

Relationship authenticity partially mediates the effects of attachment on relationship satisfaction

The Journal of Social Psychology, 2016

Individuals with anxious and avoidant attachment tend to experience less satisfaction in their re... more Individuals with anxious and avoidant attachment tend to experience less satisfaction in their relationships. Past research suggests the negative effects of attachment on relationship satisfaction may be partially mediated by self-disclosure and self-concealment; the present study evaluated relationship authenticity as a potential additional mediator. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that relationship authenticity is distinct from self-disclosure and self-concealment. Relationship authenticity predicted additional variance in relationship satisfaction controlling for attachment, self-disclosure, and self-concealment. The results were consistent with relationship authenticity, along with self-disclosure and self-concealment, partially mediating the effects of attachment on relationship satisfaction. These findings suggest that relationship authenticity may play a unique role in understanding how attachment influences relationship satisfaction. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed.

Attraction and Social Coordination: Mutual Entrainment of Vocal Activity Rhythms

Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2003

To investigate factors that affect the mutual entrainment of vocal activity rhythms, female gener... more To investigate factors that affect the mutual entrainment of vocal activity rhythms, female general psychology students paired according to attitude similarity questionnaires engaged in 40-minute introductory conversations. Fourier analyses performed on speakers' on-off vocal activity demonstrated periodic oscillations in talkativeness. Although some dyads coordinated their vocal activity rhythms, speech accommodation was not predicted by attitude similarity or attraction and did
