Question 1

This biofeedback system seems to be the first and foremost as far as feedback goes, but it usually operates at or below our consciousness; it is a tremendous communication receptor. Which is it?

Accepted Answer

The skin acts as a biofeedback system that operates at or below our consciousness level, serving as a significant communication receptor through sensations like touch, temperature, and pain.

Question 2

This biofeedback system has been a part of the study of nonverbal communication since the beginning of research into the factors of nonverbal communication. It has to do with scents and smell. Which is it?

Accepted Answer

The biofeedback system in question deals with scents and smell, which is related to the olfactory system. The other choices (skin, heart rate and blood pressure, and muscle) do not pertain specifically to the sense of smell.

Question 3

This biofeedback system has us using our posture to create a message, among other things of the like. Which is it?

Accepted Answer

The biofeedback system that uses posture to create a message is related to the muscles. This is because the system detects changes in muscle tension and provides feedback to the user to help train them to achieve a desired level of muscle relaxation or contraction.

Question 4

Which of the following is NOT one of the factors of how we physiologically respond to things and then how we label those reactions?

Accepted Answer

All the options listed (A to D) are indeed factors that contribute to how we physiologically respond to stimuli and then label those reactions. They collectively describe a process where physical response, understanding of the response, the influence of that understanding, and the subsequent labeling of feelings are all interconnected aspects of emotional and physiological processing.

Question 5

There is usually a ten-cycle-per-second synchrony between people engaged in non-task behaviors, and synchrony begins with self-rhythms meshing with the other person's self- rhythms. To what does this refer?

Accepted Answer

The statement refers to the general biological rhythm in interpersonal communication, specifically the ten-cycle-per-second synchrony between individuals engaged in non-task behaviors.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Question 7

You walk into your school's gymnasium facilities to work out and think the odor of sweating bodies is overwhelming. You think it is horrendous, but after you are there for about 10 minutes you think the odors have disappeared. Which olfactory process is seen in this example?

Accepted Answer

This is an example of olfactory adaptation, where the nose adjusts to a constant odor and ignores it after some time, so the person no longer notices the odor.

Question 8

This category of time says time is highly personal and indicates a person's ability to escape from time and space, to go into what might be called a "time warp." Which is it?

Accepted Answer

Metaphysical time is described as highly personal and allows individuals to escape from the constraints of time and space. It is often associated with spiritual experiences or altered states of consciousness. The other options do not align with this description.

Question 9

This category of time says that time is formulated. It consists of centuries, decades, years, months, weeks, days, hours, and minutes. Which is it?

Accepted Answer

Profane Time is the category of time that is considered formulated and measurable, consisting of centuries, decades, years, months, weeks, days, hours, and minutes. This is in contrast to Metaphysical Time, which refers to the subjective experience of time and its perception, and Biological Time, which refers to the natural rhythms and processes of living organisms. Sync Time refers to the synchronization of time across different systems or devices, and none of the above is not a valid answer in this case.

Question 10

This aspect of the time trichotomy says that people who live on this time clock view life in terms of novelty, seeking new perspectives on both old and new perceptions. Which is it?

Accepted Answer

The answer of This aspect of the time trichotomy says...

Question 11

This level of "nowness" is found in the pacing, regularity, and synchronized use of minimal units of time. Which is it?

Accepted Answer

The phrase "regularity" suggests that there is a standard interval of time being used, rather than a variable unit. The phrase "minimal units of time" implies that these intervals are small, but still standard in size. The phrase "synchronized use" further emphasizes the idea of a standard interval of time being used consistently. Therefore, the best choice is B: Standard interval of time.

Question 12

This level of "nowness" is the biological/physical/technical level of time. Which is it?

Accepted Answer

The answer of This level of "nowness" is the biological/physical/technical...

Question 13

This type of cultural time looks at the precise usage of time; it has also been referred to as scientific time, and is used for things like the space program (NASA time). Which is it?

Accepted Answer

Technical time is used for precise measurements and is commonly used in scientific settings such as the space program. It is not the same as informal or formal time, and it does not refer to the cultural attitudes or values towards time like polychronic time.

Question 14

Americans live by this cultural time schedule; we do one thing at a time. We are uncomfortable when many things are being done at once. Which is it?

Accepted Answer

The description given does not match any of the specific time culture options listed (A-D). The closest concept is "Monochronic Time," which is characterized by doing one thing at a time, but it is not one of the choices provided.

Question 15

This type of cultural time looks at more personalized or psychological time orientations. We indicate this time when we say "I'll be there in a minute," and then it takes us 5 minutes to get there. Which is it?

Accepted Answer

This type of time is related to personal commitments and is often flexible and subjective. It is not as strict or structured as formal time, which would require punctuality and adherence to schedules. The example given of saying "I'll be there in a minute" and taking 5 minutes is a common occurrence in informal time. Technical time refers to time used in specific fields or industries, and polychronic time is a cultural time orientation that prioritizes multiple tasks at once. Therefore, the best choice for this question is A) Informal Time.
