Abstract:

When a conversation is running smoothly, you know exactly when to nod, hum, or
when to start your turn. You feel understood and connected, and you sense that
your conversational partner feels the same. However, a conversation may also
contain awkward silences, simultaneous starts, and an overall feeling of
stuttering and stammering. During such conversations, you are often left with
feelings of distance and mutual incomprehension.

Many people share the intuition that the expression of ‘being in sync’ with
someone means that you are somehow in tune, in agreement, or in harmony with
the other. This dissertation explores whether this intuition is correct; it
investigates whether specific temporal patterns between turn-taking speakers,
including synchronization of speech rhythms, shape the affective impression of
speakers in conversation. The answer to this question can broaden our
understanding of the affective push-and-pull of spoken interaction that we
experience every day.

This question was explored by presenting participants with short fragments of
dialogues between speakers in which we manipulated the temporal patterns
between those speakers. Participants were then asked to rate the perceived
degree of affiliation between the speakers of those fragments. In the last
study of this dissertation we also recorded participants' real-time affective
response during listening to these fragments. We found that, in addition to
the presence of overlapping talk, responding too early given the beat of the
previous speaker conveys disaffiliation. ‘Being in sync’ is not just a figure
of speech, but a real sign of affiliation in spoken dialogue.
