Unacquainted subjects, in groups of four or five, viewed and then discussed a television programme on the topic of homosexuality. Afterwards, they ranked each group member in terms of how influential the member had been during the discussion. High‐ranking members, compared to low‐ranking members, had a greater proportion of aggregate speaking turns, thus replicating Brooke & Ng's (1986) finding. Aggregate turns were then divided into turns gained by interruptive or non‐interruptive means; and the two turn types were used to predict influence ranking in an attempt to test the idea that turns were a resource for achieving influence regardless of how they were gained. Supportive results were found: interruption‐turns, like non‐interruption‐turns, reliably predicted influence ranking. For reasons yet to be tested, interruption‐turns were in fact superior to non‐interruption‐turns for predicting influence ranking.
Scholars have frequently portrayed early modern German Jewish history as underresearched and fragmentary, with an underdeveloped pool of historical sources. Even the very productive historian Stefan Rohrbacher, for example, has rued that “[t]he early modern period numbers among the till now very little researched epochs in the history of the Jews in Germany. It has recently received increased attention from historians, however, this interest is distributed very unevenly in the various areas and aspects of Jewish life.”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
