People with a diagnosis of schizophrenia (PSz) have difficulty engaging in social interaction, but little research has focused on dialogues involving PSz interacting with partners who are unaware of their diagnosis. Using quantitative and qualitative methods on a unique corpus of triadic dialogues of PSz first social encounters, we show that turn-taking is disrupted in dialogues involving a PSz. Specifically, there are on average longer gaps between turns in groups which contain a PSz compared to those which do not, particularly when the speaker switch occurs from one control (C) participant to the other. Furthermore, the expected link between gesture and repair is not present in dialogues with a PSz, particularly for C participants interacting with a PSz. As well as offering some insights into how the presence of a PSz affects an interaction, our results also demonstrate the flexibility of our mechanisms for interaction. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Face2face: advancing the science of social interaction'.
被诊断为精神分裂症（PSz）的人在社交互动方面存在困难，但很少有研究关注涉及与未被告知诊断的伴侣进行互动的 PSz 的对话。通过对一组独特的 PSz 首次社交接触的三方对话进行定量和定性研究，我们表明，涉及 PSz 的对话会中断轮流发言。具体来说，与不包含 PSz 的组相比，包含 PSz 的组中回合之间的平均时间间隔更长，特别是当说话人从一个对照（C）参与者切换到另一个参与者时。此外，在包含 PSz 的对话中，手势和修复之间的预期联系并不存在，特别是对于与 PSz 互动的 C 参与者。除了提供一些关于 PSz 的存在如何影响互动的见解外，我们的研究结果还展示了我们的互动机制的灵活性。本文是“面对面：推进社交互动科学”讨论会议的一部分。
