We found no significant difference between anger and frustration segment in terms of turn-taking behaviors. However, the length of pause significantly decreases in the preceding segment of anger where as it increases in the preceding segment of frustration.",

We found no significant difference between anger and frustration segment in terms of turn-taking behaviors.
