Question 1

Creating a desired image of one's self is part of &#8230;&#10;A) self-disclosure&#10;B) self-presentation&#10;C) self-esteem&#10;D) self-motivation

Accepted Answer

Self-presentation refers to the way individuals present themselves to others in order to create a desired impression or image. This can include things like the way they dress, act, and speak, as well as the attitudes and values they express. Self-disclosure, on the other hand, refers to the act of sharing personal information with others. Self-esteem is the overall evaluation of one's worth or value as a person, while self-motivation refers to the internal drive to achieve goals or pursue certain activities.

Question 2

Wearing pajamas to class may be violating the self-presentational tactic of &#8230;&#10;A) changes in physial environment&#10;B) social associations&#10;C) complinance with social norms&#10;D) attitude expressions

Accepted Answer

Wearing pajamas to class violates the social norm of dressing appropriately for the context. Self-presentation involves conforming to social norms to maintain a desired image, so violating these norms can negatively impact one's self-presentation.

Question 3

Self-presentation norms include all of the following, except &#8230;&#10;A) attributional statements&#10;B) decorum&#10;C) modesty&#10;D) behavioral matching

Accepted Answer

Attributional statements are not considered a norm of self-presentation. Self-presentation norms typically involve behaviors and attitudes that help an individual fit into social situations or convey a certain image, such as decorum (appropriate behavior), modesty, and behavioral matching (mirroring the behaviors of others to fit in), rather than the explanations people give for their behaviors, which are what attributional statements are.

Question 4

Behaviors that conform to established standards represent &#8230;&#10;A) modesty&#10;B) decorum&#10;C) behavioral matching&#10;D) social learning

Question 6

Weeping loudly in a restaurant when a friend tells us a sad story would violate &#8230;&#10;A) modesty&#10;B) decorum&#10;C) behavioral matching&#10;D) self-disclosure

Accepted Answer

Weeping loudly in a restaurant when a friend tells us a sad story would violate decorum, which refers to socially appropriate behavior in public settings. It is not a violation of modesty, which refers to a person's humility or lack of vanity. It is also not an example of behavioral matching, which refers to mimicking someone else's behavior to build rapport, nor self-disclosure, which refers to revealing personal information about oneself.

Question 7

If a date boasts about a recent accomplishment and you respond by downplaying your own recent achievement, you are violating &#8230;&#10;A) modesty&#10;B) decorum&#10;C) self-disclosure&#10;D) behavioral matching

Accepted Answer

Behavioral matching involves mirroring or matching the behavior of others in social interactions. By downplaying your own achievement instead of matching the boasting behavior, you are not engaging in behavioral matching.

Question 10

Leakage of deceitful information via non-verbal cues is most likely during &#8230;&#10;A) ambiguous situations&#10;B) high-stakes situations&#10;C) low-impact situations&#10;D) non-social associations

Accepted Answer

During high-stakes situations, people may feel pressure to deceive or withhold information, and their non-verbal cues may give away the truth. In contrast, low-impact situations are less likely to elicit deceitful behavior. Ambiguous situations may require more strategic use of non-verbal cues and do not necessarily lead to leakage of deceitful information. Non-social associations, by definition, do not involve interactions with others, so non-verbal cues are not relevant.
