Together with Dr. Franziska Viertel and Prof. Dr. Katharina Rohlfing, we investigated how temperamental shyness in children might influence their turn timing in social interaction. Our results suggest that temperamentally shy children may be more hesitant to take turns, but only when participating in dialogues that require them to verbalize a response. The study was presented at the 16th congress of the International Association for the Study of Child Language (IASCL).
