90 20-min. conversations, obtained on 3 different occasions, were used to examine the generalizability of previous findings which show a relation between the durations of utterances of interviewers and interviewees. The average durations of utterance of the conversationalists yielded significant Rs of .43, .60 and .44 for the three occasions. Direct utterance-by-utterance comparisons within 8 of the conversations yielded no significant coefficients.
