 
 <prompt> Pacing and Pausing Sara bin try make friends with her old friend Steve new wife, but Betty never seem get anything to talk. While Sara think say Betty no dey contribute to the conversation, Betty dey complain give Steve say Sara no dey give am chance to talk. The problem na say dem get different expectations about pacing and pausing. Conversation na game wey involve taking turns. If our habits dey similar, no wahala. But if dem dey different, you fit start to talk before I finish or fail to talk when I finish. Na wetin dey happen between Betty and Sara. E fit no be coincidence say Betty, wey dey expect longer pauses between turns, na British, and Sara, wey dey expect shorter pauses, na American. Betty dey feel say Sara dey interrupt am. But Betty sef dey interrupt and dey do most of the talking when she meet person from Finland. And Sara dey find am hard to talk when she dey with people from Latin America or Israel. The main thing be say small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, fit make people draw conclusions about personality and abilities. These differences fit lead to dangerous stereotyping. And e fit get personal consequences. For example, woman from southwestern US go stay for eastern city to work for personnel. When dem dey do meetings for Personnel Department, she dey find the right time to talk -- but she no see am. Even though for her area she dey seen as outgoing and confident, for Washington dem dey see am as shy and quiet. When dem evaluate am for end of the year, dem tell am make she do training because she no fit talk. Na why small differences for conversation style fit affect person life. The result for this case na say dem judge am say she get psychological problems -- even she sef dey wonder wetin dey wrong with am and register for training. <response>: 1. Betty
