6. According to uncertainty reduction theory, when we intially meet someone we are intially uncertain.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
According to uncertainty reduction theory, when we initially meet someone, we are initially uncertain. This means that when we first encounter someone, we lack information about them and their characteristics, leading to a sense of uncertainty. As we interact and gather more information about the person, this uncertainty decreases, and we are able to form more accurate impressions and predictions about them. Therefore, the statement that we are initially uncertain when meeting someone aligns with the uncertainty reduction theory.Rate this question:

7. For some people who express some anger, the risks for disease may be lower than for persons who express little anger.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Expressing anger can have both positive and negative effects on health. While excessive and uncontrolled anger can increase the risk of various health problems, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and weakened immune system, expressing anger in a healthy and controlled manner can actually have some benefits. It can help release pent-up emotions, reduce stress, and improve overall emotional well-being. Therefore, it is possible that for some individuals who express anger in a healthy way, the risks for disease may be lower compared to those who suppress or express little anger.Rate this question:

10. During nascent friendship, we consider ourselves an enemy of the other person.
- A.
True

False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
During nascent friendship, we do not consider ourselves an enemy of the other person. Instead, during the early stages of a friendship, we tend to be more open, trusting, and positive towards the other person. This is because we are still getting to know each other and building a foundation of trust and mutual understanding. Considering oneself an enemy would be counterproductive to forming a friendship.Rate this question:

D. Tries to protect himself or herself from the exchange of feelings by minding his or her own business, and avoiding relationship entaglements or involvements.Explanation
According to Theodore Rubin, an emotional isolationist tries to protect himself or herself from the exchange of feelings by minding his or her own business, and avoiding relationship entanglements or involvements.

- B.
Not a relationship.
- C.
Violating display rules.
- D.
A pseudo conflict.
Correct Answer
B. Not a relationship.Explanation
According to the text, a relationship that has no conflict is not a relationship. This implies that conflict is an integral part of a relationship and its absence indicates that there is no relationship. Conflict can arise from differences in opinions, interests, or goals, and its presence is often seen as a sign of engagement and investment in a relationship. Therefore, a relationship without any conflict lacks the necessary elements to be considered a genuine relationship.Rate this question:

It suggests that the relationship between the two people is just starting to develop and grow. The other options, "stabilized" and "waning", imply that the friendship is already established or declining, which contradicts the idea of considering each other as friends.

Correct Answer
A. Men and women have the same pHysiological response, but their display of emotions and how they are verbally expressed differ.Explanation
Men and women have the same physiological response to emotions, meaning their bodies react in similar ways. However, they differ in how they display and express these emotions. This suggests that the way emotions are shown and communicated is influenced by factors other than gender, such as culture and race. Therefore, it can be concluded that gender is not the primary determinant of how emotions are displayed.Rate this question:

Through resolving conflicts, couples can learn to compromise, find common ground, and grow together. Conflict can also help identify areas of improvement in the relationship and promote personal and relational growth.

- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The cost-benefit/social exchange theory suggests that individuals engage in relationships as long as the benefits they receive from the relationship are greater than the costs associated with maintaining it. This means that people are more likely to continue a relationship if they feel that the rewards they receive, such as love, support, or companionship, outweigh the effort, time, or sacrifices they have to make to maintain the relationship. Therefore, the statement "True" indicates that the cost-benefit/social exchange theory holds that we work to maintain a relationship only if the benefits outweigh the costs.Rate this question:

- B.

Correct Answer
B. A perceived discrepancy between desired and achieved social relationships.Explanation
Loneliness results from a perceived discrepancy between desired and achieved social relationships. This means that when individuals feel that their actual social connections do not meet their expectations or desires, they experience loneliness. It is not about having too many or too few interpersonal relationships, but rather about the quality and fulfillment of those relationships in relation to one's desired level of social connection. Inclusion, on the other hand, does not directly address the concept of loneliness.Rate this question:
