Interruptions, Studied: How They Shape Trust and Connection

Interruptions on a Pro-Social Scale

With insights from 89 participants, our Anti-Social to Pro-Social Scale© shows that interruptions aren’t always harmful. Many can actually spark stronger relationships, improve teamwork, and deepen understanding when used thoughtfully.

What the Research Explored

The survey was designed to capture the nuances of interruptions—those that connect and those that divide. By examining real experiences, we can see how communication shifts depending on where an interruption falls along the social scale.

Why It Matters

These findings go beyond theory. They’re shaping how leaders, teams, and families approach everyday conversations with more empathy and respect. The results are also guiding future research and fueling the creation of practical tools to support healthier, more effective communication.
