Question 1

Nonverbal communication is all communication that is not spoken.

Accepted Answer

Nonverbal communication includes not only gestures and body language but also involves the use of facial expressions, eye contact, touch, and even silence, which are not spoken but can convey messages and emotions.

Question 2

The interactional communication model contains the feedback component.

Accepted Answer

The interactional communication model includes the feedback component, which allows the receiver to respond to the message sender, creating a two-way conversation.

Question 3

You cannot not communicate.

Accepted Answer

This is a fundamental principle of communication theory - that all behavior is a form of communication, even when we are not intentionally trying to communicate anything. Non-verbal cues, such as body language, can communicate something even when we are silent, and silence itself can also communicate something. Therefore, it is impossible to not communicate in some way.

Question 4

Question 5

The _______ model of communication is a one way process.&#10;A) interactional&#10;B) transactional&#10;C) linear&#10;D) fractional

Accepted Answer

The linear model of communication consists of a sender who sends a message to a receiver. This model doesn't allow for feedback or interaction, making it a one-way process.

Question 6

The _______ model of communication specifies communication participants.&#10;A) interactional&#10;B) transactional&#10;C) linear&#10;D) fractional

Accepted Answer

The transactional model of communication specifies communication participants as individuals who are mutually influencing each other through feedback and multiple channels of communication. The interactional model also considers communication as a two-way process but may not involve feedback or multiple channels, while the linear model only involves a sender and a receiver without any consideration of feedback or mutual influence. The fractional model is not an established model of communication.
