Annotation

Naïve people considered change of subject, disagreement, clarification and agreement interruptions more as interruptions and evaluated them more negatively. Naïve people considered early rather than late interruptions more as interruptions and evaluated them more negatively. Naïve people employed for identifying and evaluating the interruptions, the point more than the type of interruption. The more a turn taking was assessed as negative, the more it was perceived as an interruption (correlation, not causation). There was no evidence for the gender hypothesis on perception and assessment of deep and change of subject interruptions.
