Table6 shows the pairs of group mem- bers who interrupt each other, the overall number of interruptions, and the number of times each respondent interjected an ... ..."

"... In PAGE 13: ... The Canadian speaker-Canadian listener, Chinese speaker-Canadian listener, and Canadian speaker-Chinese listener conditions used English in their conversations, whereas the Chinese speaker-Chinese listener condition conversed in Mandarin Chinese. Means of rates for intrusive,cooperative,and unsuccessful interrup- tions were calculated across the four experimental conditions; they are presented in Table1 . The unit of analysis in each condition was a dyad rather than an individual speaker or listener because conversation is a joint activity between conversational partners (Bavelas amp; Segal, 1982; Clark amp; Brennan, 1991; Clark amp; Schaefer, 1989; Goffman, 1967; Goodwin,1981;Grice,1975;Roger amp; Nesshoever,1987;Schegloff,1982; Tannen, 1994)....

As shown in Table1 , the mean rate for intrusive interruption was higher than the mean rate for cooperative interruption,but no statistically significant difference was reached. Thus, Hypothesis 1a was not supported.... In PAGE 14: ...eached. Thus, Hypothesis 1a was not supported. The Chinese Speaker-Chinese Listener Condition: Testing Hypothesis 1b Hypothesis 1b predicted that cooperative interruptions would be seen more frequently than intrusive interruptions in Chinese speaker-Chinese listener interactions. As indicated in Table1 , the mean rate for cooperative interruption was higher than the mean rate for intrusive interruption. ANOVA revealed that the difference was statistically significant, F(1, 9) = 12.... In PAGE 14: ... The Chinese Speaker-Canadian Listener Condition: Testing Hypothesis 2b Hypothesis 2b predicted that intrusive interruptions would be seen more frequently than cooperative interruptions in the Chinese speaker-Canadian listener condition. As shown in Table1 , the mean rates for intrusive interruption and cooperative interruption were sim- ilar for this condition. Thus, Hypothesis 2b was not supported.... In PAGE 16: ... The doctors exhibited more intrusive interruptions than did patients, and the patients dis- played more cooperative interruptions than did doctors. Unsuccessful Interruptions The mean rates for unsuccessful interruptions are presented in Table1 . As shown in Table 1, the mean rates for the two intercultural conditions (Canadian speaker-Chinese listener and Chinese speaker-Canadian listener) were higher than mean rates in the two intracultural conditions (Canadian speaker-Canadian listener and Chinese speaker-Chinese listener).... ..."

"... In PAGE 16: ... Because reason for interruption could not be manipulated in the no-interruption condition, the no-interruption groups were not used in tests of hypothesis 2. Two(occasional versus frequent interruption) 2(good versus bad reason- 2(blue-collar versus managerial job) analyses of variance on the three dependent variables revealed the expected frequency of interruption eC128ects on all variables and significant or near- significant reason for interruption eC128ects for all three scales (see Table4 ). Cell means are shown in Table 5.... ..."

"... In PAGE 24: ... Moreover, simulating di erent levels of granularity can provide insights to the cache performance for systems which are frequently or less frequently interrupted. The multitasking traces still have the problem of lacking system calls, so we used ATUM traces [1] for our third series (see Table4 ). These traces are based on actual VAX execution traces, and include system calls.... ..."
