Question 2

Which of the following represents synchronous interactions?
A)bulletin boards
B)face-to-face
C)email
D)discussion forums

Accepted Answer

Face-to-face interactions are considered synchronous because they occur in real-time, with both parties present and participating in the conversation at the same time. The other options listed (bulletin boards, email, and discussion forums) are asynchronous, as they allow for delayed communication and do not require both parties to be present and actively participating at the same time.

A)They communicate much more about their relationships.
B)They make time to talk, no matter how busy they are.
C)They take themselves and each other very seriously, all the time.
D)They have an other-orientation in conversations with each other.

Accepted Answer

Taking oneself and each other very seriously all the time can lead to an environment that is too rigid and controlled, which can actually be detrimental to healthy communication and relationships. It's important to have levity and humor in conversations as well.

Question 5

What is one reason computer-mediated communication tends to involve more direct communication strategies?
A)there is no bias because of visible age, race, etc,
B)the time between writing and reading
C)the lack of non-verbal cues
D)because some people type slower than others

Accepted Answer

Computer-mediated communication tends to lack non-verbal cues, which means that written messages may not convey the tone or emotions intended by the writer. As a result, people tend to use more direct communication strategies to ensure that their message is understood correctly.

Question 6

Which of the following is NOT a result of response time in CMC?
A)You are less likely to be deceived as the receiver of a message.
B)You have more control over what you say and the impression you create.
C)You can consider your message before you send it.
D)You can more easily deceive someone.

Accepted Answer

Response time in computer-mediated communication (CMC) allows for more control over message crafting and impression management, which can lead to both more thoughtful communication and potential deception. However, it does not inherently make you less likely to be deceived.

Question 7

Which skill for improving family communication is involved when family members express positive feelings and take a genuine interest in each person's contribution to the family, are selective in the feedback and self-disclosure they provide, and minimize messages that rely on coercion and threats?
A)Take time to talk about relationships and feelings.
B)Listen actively and clarify the meaning of messages.
C)Support and encourage one another.
D)Use productive strategies for managing conflict, stress, and change.

Accepted Answer

Supporting and encouraging one another involves expressing positive feelings and showing genuine interest in each person's contribution to the family. It also involves minimizing messages that rely on coercion and threats, which helps to create a positive and safe communication environment. Selective feedback and self-disclosure can also be part of this skill, as it allows family members to communicate effectively without feeling overwhelmed or judged.

Question 8

________ refers to whether individuals are engaging in a simultaneous interaction or one in which there is a delay between the message being sent and the message being read.
A)Asynchronous interaction
B)Social or psychological co-presence
C)Hyperpersonal relationship

A)54 minutes a day
B)30 minutes a day
C)20 minutes a day

Question 10

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the impressions formed by those interacting solely through CMC?
A)The impressions formed during CMC are more comprehensive and detailed than those developed during face-to-face interactions.
B)Impressions formed during CMC are stronger and more extreme.
C)The impressions developed during CMC resemble those developed during face-to-face interactions.
D)The impressions formed during CMC are less comprehensive and detailed than those developed during face-to-face interactions.

Accepted Answer

Research shows that impressions formed during CMC are often less comprehensive and detailed than those developed during face-to-face interactions. Option B is partially true as studies suggest that online interactions can lead to more extreme opinions and behaviors due to the anonymity factor. Option C is also true as some studies suggest that the impressions developed during CMC can be similar to those developed during face-to-face interactions. However, Option A is not accurate based on current research findings.

Question 11

In one study, the most common lie told over the internet was about
A)age.
B)weight.

A)Take time to talk about relationships and feelings.
B)Listen actively and clarify the meaning of messages.
C)Support and encourage one another.
D)Use productive strategies for managing conflict, stress, and change.

Accepted Answer

The skill involved in this scenario is using productive strategies for managing conflict, stress, and change.

Question 14

Which skill for improving family communication is involved when family members ask questions, reflect content and feelings, and perception check to clarify the meaning of messages?
A)Take time to talk about relationships and feelings.
B)Listen actively and clarify the meaning of messages.
C)Support and encourage one another.
D)Use productive strategies for managing conflict, stress, and change.

Asking questions, reflecting content and feelings, and perception checking are all active listening skills that help clarify the meaning of messages and improve family communication.

Question 15

Which of the following is NOT a rule that you should follow during CMC?
A)Don't disclose too much too soon.
B)Confirm the statements made by your internet partner.
C)Be other-oriented.
D)Disclose early and often to create a strong internet relationship.

Accepted Answer

Disclosing personal information too early and too often can put you at risk of cyberstalking, identity theft or other types of cybercrime. Therefore, it is not a recommended rule to follow during CMC. Instead, you should be cautious and gradually disclose information as the relationship develops.

Question 16

All of the following have an effect on computer-mediated communication EXCEPT
A)non-verbal cues
B)physical appearance
C)response time
D)the role of the written word

Accepted Answer

Physical appearance is not relevant to computer-mediated communication as it primarily involves text-based communication. Non-verbal cues, response time, and the role of the written word are all significant factors that impact computer-mediated communication.

Question 17

In a survey of college students, the most common indicator of deception over the Internet was someone's
A)implausible statement or bragging.
B)consistently sexually-oriented comments.
C)insistence that they weren't lying.
D)sexually-nuanced online nickname.

Accepted Answer

Implausible statements or bragging are the most common indicators of deception because individuals tend to exaggerate or fabricate details about themselves to make a better impression online. Consistently sexually-oriented comments or sexually-nuanced online nicknames may be indicative of inappropriate behavior, but they do not necessarily indicate deception. Insistence that they aren't lying is also not a reliable indicator, as deceptive individuals often deny any wrongdoing.

Question 18

When a group of people target another person and insult and threaten him or her via e-mail, instant messaging, or on bulletin boards, they are
A)gossiping.
B)cyber-bullying.
C)taking an other-centred approach.
D)chaotically disengaged.

Question 19

That our ability to type quickly and accurately, as well as use effective words and grammar, affects how we communicate through CMC illustrates what characteristic of CMC?
A)the role of the written word
B)the lack of non-verbal cues
C)response time
D)ease of deception

Accepted Answer

The ability to type quickly and accurately, as well as using effective words and grammar, all depend on the use of the written word in CMC.

Answer: B
 The lack of non-verbal cues in CMC affects how we communicate, as we cannot rely on facial expressions or body language to convey meaning.

Answer: C
 The speed of our response time in CMC affects the flow of conversation and how we interact with others.

Answer: D
 While ease of deception may be a characteristic of CMC, it is not directly related to the ability to type quickly and accurately, or the use of effective words and grammar.

Question 20

Which of the following is NOT a method for adding emotion to CMC messages?
A)using all capitals
B)adding emoticons
C)bolding letters, words, or phrases
D)moderating tone of voice

Accepted Answer

Moderating tone of voice is not a method for adding emotion to CMC messages. It is more of a way to control the level of emotion conveyed in a message rather than adding emotion. Using all capitals, adding emoticons, and bolding letters, words, or phrases are common ways to add emotion to CMC messages.
