American researchers think they have found the answer． 　　Scientists at Cornell University say that whether in the office, on a train or in a car, only half of the conversation is overheard, and this draws more attention and concentration than when overhearing two people talking． 　　“We have less control to move away our attention from half a conversation(or half a dialogue)than when listening to a dialogue, ” said Lauren Emberson, a co-author of the study that will be published in the journal Psychological Science．“Since half a dialogue really is more distracting and you can't tune them out, this could explain why people are irritated．” 　　Emberson also said that in such a situation people try to make sense of snippets of conversation and predict what speakers will say next．“When you hear half of a conversation, you get less information and you can't predict as well, ” she said．“It requires more attention．” 　　The finding by Emberson and her co-author Michael Goldstein are based on research involving 41 college students who did concentration exercises, like tracking moving dots, while hearing one or both parties during a cell phone conversation．The students made more errors when they heard only part of the conversation than when they overheard the entire dialogue．
