      101.  Talk shows that intentionally promote conflict usually attract guests who lack communication skills and social support.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Talk shows that intentionally promote conflict tend to attract guests who lack communication skills and social support. This is because these shows thrive on drama and controversy, and guests who are unable to effectively communicate and lack a strong support system are more likely to engage in confrontational behavior. These shows often exploit the vulnerabilities of their guests for entertainment purposes, which can further isolate them from social support networks. Therefore, it is true that talk shows promoting conflict usually attract guests with poor communication skills and limited social support.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    An aggressive person is someone who is assertive and forceful in their behavior, often disregarding the feelings and rights of others.

Therefore, it is true that an aggressive person insists on standing up for their own rights while disregarding and violating the rights of others.

    59.  If a group wants to achieve tasks and build relationships, it must eliminate self-serving roles.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In order for a group to effectively achieve tasks and build relationships, it is important to eliminate self-serving roles. Self-serving roles refer to individuals who prioritize their own interests and personal gain over the goals and needs of the group. These roles can hinder collaboration, trust, and cooperation within the group, making it difficult to accomplish tasks and establish positive relationships. Therefore, eliminating self-serving roles promotes a more cohesive and productive group dynamic.

    60.  According to Rosabeth Moss Kanter, kaleidoscope thinking involves taking existing data and twisting them or looking at them from another angle.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    According to Rosabeth Moss Kanter, kaleidoscope thinking involves taking existing data and twisting them or looking at them from another angle. This means that instead of accepting information at face value, one should try to see it in a different perspective or manipulate it to gain new insights. This approach encourages creativity and innovation by challenging conventional thinking and encouraging individuals to explore different possibilities. Therefore, the statement "True" accurately reflects Kanter's concept of kaleidoscope thinking.

    32.  Control, one of the needs fulfilled by relationships, is conceerned with establishing and maintaining satisfactory levels of influence and power.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Control is indeed one of the needs fulfilled by relationships. It involves establishing and maintaining satisfactory levels of influence and power. In relationships, individuals seek to have some level of control over their own lives and also exert influence over others. This need for control can manifest in various ways, such as making decisions, setting boundaries, and having a say in important matters. Therefore, the statement "Control, one of the needs fulfilled by relationships, is concerned with establishing and maintaining satisfactory levels of influence and power" is true.

    9.  Feelings in themselves are neither positive nor negative; what you do with them determines whether they are healthy.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement suggests that feelings in and of themselves are neutral and do not have an inherent positive or negative value. It emphasizes that it is the actions and behaviors that stem from these feelings that determine whether they are healthy or not. In other words, it is not the feeling itself that is healthy or unhealthy, but rather how one chooses to respond or act upon those feelings.

  • 8. 

    33.  The theory of social penetration holds that as a relationship becomes more intimate, the depth of penetration will increase.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The theory of social penetration suggests that as a relationship becomes more intimate, the depth of penetration will increase. This means that as individuals become closer and more comfortable with each other, they will reveal more personal and private information about themselves. This theory emphasizes the idea that relationships develop over time and that trust and vulnerability are key components of intimacy. Therefore, the statement that the depth of penetration will increase as a relationship becomes more intimate is true.

    61.  When group members don't have equal status, decisions take longer to reach, and some members may dominate the discussion.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When group members don't have equal status, it can lead to longer decision-making processes because members with higher status may dominate the discussion. This can happen because members with higher status may have more influence and power within the group, causing other members to defer to their opinions and ideas. As a result, reaching a consensus or making a decision may take longer as all members may not have an equal opportunity to contribute and share their perspectives.

  • 10. 

    11.  Susan and Juan had different views on the issue of increased taxes.  They are experiencing value conflict.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Susan and Juan having different views on the issue of increased taxes indicates a disagreement or conflict in their values. Value conflict occurs when individuals have differing beliefs, principles, or priorities. In this case, their differing views on increased taxes suggest that they have conflicting values regarding taxation and its impact on society.

    8.  The second stage of the Abuse Cycle finds tensions erupting into violence.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In the second stage of the Abuse Cycle, tensions between individuals escalate and eventually lead to violence. This stage is characterized by the build-up of anger, frustration, and resentment, which eventually explode into physical or emotional abuse. It is important to recognize the signs of this stage in order to intervene and prevent further harm.

    6.  According to uncertainty reduction theory, when we intially meet someone we are intially uncertain.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    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.

    7.  For some people who express some anger, the risks for disease may be lower than for persons who express little anger.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    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.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    According to the text, it is uncommon to be able to tell someone only one lie. This implies that it is more common to tell multiple lies rather than just one.

  • 15. 

    35.  The grapevine is an informal conversational network in organizations.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The grapevine refers to the informal communication channels that exist within an organization. It is characterized by the transmission of information through casual conversations, gossip, and rumors rather than through formal channels. These informal networks can be highly influential in spreading information quickly throughout an organization, often faster than official communication channels. Therefore, the statement that the grapevine is an informal conversational network in organizations is true.

    • Some people are born to lead.

    • The emergence of leadership is affected by factors such as the nature of the problem.

    • Personality traits are predictors of leadership.

    • Several group members should be ready to show leadership.

    • A leader is a person

    Correct Answer
    A. The emergence of leadership is affected by factors such as the nature of the problem.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "the emergence of leadership is affected by factors such as the nature of the problem." According to the situational theory of leadership, the effectiveness of a leader is influenced by the specific situation or context they are in. Different situations require different leadership styles or approaches. Factors such as the nature of the problem, the abilities and skills of the group members, and the level of task structure can all impact the emergence and effectiveness of leadership. This theory suggests that leadership is not solely determined by innate qualities or personality traits, but is influenced by the situational factors at hand.

    • True

    • False

    2.  Both psychoanalyst Carl Jung and psychologist Elaine Hatfield believed that emotions are contagious.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Both Carl Jung and Elaine Hatfield, who are respected figures in the field of psychology, believed that emotions can be contagious. This means that individuals can "catch" or be influenced by the emotions of others. This idea aligns with the concept of emotional contagion, which suggests that emotions can spread from person to person through nonverbal cues, facial expressions, and body language. Therefore, the statement that emotions are contagious is supported by the beliefs of both Jung and Hatfield.

  • 19. 

    30.  Common causes of lying are to avoid punishment and to gain a reward.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Lying is often motivated by the desire to avoid punishment or to gain a reward. People may lie to avoid facing the consequences of their actions or to receive some form of benefit or advantage. This can include lying about their whereabouts, their actions, or their intentions. By deceiving others, individuals hope to protect themselves from negative consequences or to gain something they desire.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    64.  For most tasks, a group with how many members seems to work best?

    • 3 or 4

    • 5 to 7

    • 10 to 12

    • At least 15

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 to 7
    Explanation
    For most tasks, a group with 5 to 7 members seems to work best. This is because a group of this size allows for a good balance between diversity of ideas and effective communication. With 5 to 7 members, there is enough diversity to bring different perspectives and expertise to the task, while still being small enough to ensure effective communication and coordination. Larger groups may lead to difficulties in coordination and decision-making, while smaller groups may lack the necessary diversity of ideas.

    A. Consistent use of verbal bause and/or physical or sexual agression, or violence.
    Explanation
    Toxic communication refers to the consistent use of verbal abuse and/or physical or sexual aggression, or violence. This type of communication involves harmful and aggressive behavior that can cause emotional and physical harm to the individuals involved.

    • Plastic.

    • Pathetic.

    • Popular.

    Correct Answer
    A. Phatic.
    Explanation
    Interactions designed to open the channels of communication are called "phatic." Phatic communication refers to small talk or casual conversation that serves to establish or maintain social relationships rather than to convey specific information. It is often used to break the ice or establish rapport between individuals.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    36.  When we equivocate, we use purposefully vague language.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Equivocation refers to the use of ambiguous language to deceive or mislead others. When we equivocate, we intentionally choose words or phrases that have multiple meanings or can be interpreted in different ways. This allows us to avoid giving a clear and direct answer, making our intentions or message unclear. Therefore, it is true that when we equivocate, we use purposefully vague language.

    78.  A Fishbone technique

    • Identifies a problem's possible causes.

    • Is a structured brainstorming technique.

    • Both A and B

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Both A and B
    Explanation
    The fishbone technique is a problem-solving tool that helps identify the possible causes of a problem. It is also a structured brainstorming technique that encourages a systematic approach to identifying and analyzing the root causes of a problem. By using the fishbone diagram, teams can visually map out the different potential causes of a problem and explore various factors that may contribute to the issue at hand. This technique allows for a comprehensive analysis of the problem and facilitates effective problem-solving.

    23.  Which of these elements is likely to result in high dissatisfaction in the workplace?

    • The rugged individual.

    • The team player.

    • A climate of trust and respect.

    • A leader with tolerance for disagreement.

    Correct Answer
    A. The rugged individual.
    Explanation
    The rugged individual is likely to result in high dissatisfaction in the workplace because they prioritize their own goals and achievements over teamwork and collaboration. This can create a competitive and individualistic environment, where employees may feel unsupported and undervalued. It can also lead to a lack of cooperation and communication among team members, hindering productivity and creating a negative work atmosphere.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    24.  When it comes to displaying emotions

    • Men and women have the same physiological response, but their display of emotions and how they are verbally expressed differ.

    • Culture and race are much clearer determinants than gender.

    • Men and women are most alike in how they display anger and hostility.

    • Because women are viewed as more objective and independent, they tend to display their emotions more easily.

    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:

  • 27. 

    39.  Loneliness results from

    • Having too many interpersonal relationships.

    • A perceived discrepancy between desired and achieved social relationships.

    • A balance between desired and achieved social relationships.

    • Inclusion.

    Correct Answer
    A. 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:

  • 28. 

    4.  Conflict always requires two or more people.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Conflict does not always require two or more people. Conflict can also occur within an individual, known as internal conflict. Internal conflict refers to the psychological struggle that a person experiences within themselves, such as conflicting emotions or desires. Therefore, the statement that conflict always requires two or more people is false.

    66.  Mary Ellen Glyn feels that people who see problems as games

    • Are poor problem solvers.

    • Come up with more solutions.

    • Are not motivated.

    • Should get serious.

    Correct Answer
    A. Come up with more solutions.
    Explanation
    Mary Ellen Glyn believes that individuals who view problems as games are able to generate a greater number of solutions. This suggests that she sees this mindset as advantageous and effective in problem-solving.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    16.  According to the text, a relationship that has no conflict is in effect

    • At stage 5, bonding.

    • Not a relationship.

    • Violating display rules.

    • A pseudo conflict.

    Correct Answer
    A. 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:

  • 31. 

    53.  According to researcher William Schutz, relationships fulfill three needs.  Which of the following is not one of these?

    • Popularity

    • Inclusion

    • Control

    • Affection

    Correct Answer
    A. Popularity
    Explanation
    According to researcher William Schutz, relationships fulfill three needs: inclusion, control, and affection. Popularity is not mentioned as one of the needs fulfilled by relationships. Therefore, popularity is not one of the needs identified by Schutz.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    54.  Which statement about interpersonal relationships describes women more than men?

    • Flirting is a way of making a connection.

    • Their expectations for family life are more traditional.

    • They bond through shared activities.

    • They may feel uncomfortable expressing feelings verbally.

    Correct Answer
    A. Flirting is a way of making a connection.
    Explanation
    Women are more likely to use flirting as a way of making a connection in interpersonal relationships compared to men. This suggests that women may engage in flirtatious behavior more frequently or find it more effective in establishing a connection with others. It does not imply that all women engage in flirting or that men do not engage in this behavior at all.

    Rate this question:

  • 33. 

    56.  What stage of a relationship is represented by small talk?

    • Initiating

    • Integrating

    • Differentiating

    • Experimenting

    Correct Answer
    A. Initiating
    Explanation
    Small talk is typically associated with the initiating stage of a relationship. During this stage, individuals engage in casual and superficial conversations to establish initial connections and gather basic information about each other. Small talk helps to break the ice and create a comfortable atmosphere for further interaction and exploration, setting the foundation for the relationship to progress to deeper levels of intimacy and connection.

    83.  In order for a conflict to be defined as cooperative, the participants must

    • Develop groupthink.

    • Demonstrate the willingness to resolve it in a mutually satisfactory way.

    • See it as a win-lose situation.

    • Have a 1/1 style on the conflict grid.

    • Contribute to a defensive climate.

    Correct Answer
    A. Demonstrate the willingness to resolve it in a mutually satisfactory way.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "demonstrate the willingness to resolve it in a mutually satisfactory way." This answer suggests that for a conflict to be considered cooperative, the participants must show a willingness to find a resolution that is satisfactory for all parties involved. This implies that the participants are open to compromise and are actively seeking a mutually beneficial outcome rather than a win-lose situation.

    Rate this question:

    86.  When attempting to resolve conflicts, you should

    • Focus on issues.

    • Focus on personalities.

    • Focus on lunch.

    • Focus on not focusing.

    Correct Answer
    A. Focus on issues.
    Explanation
    When attempting to resolve conflicts, it is important to focus on the issues at hand rather than getting caught up in personal conflicts or distractions. By focusing on the issues, individuals can work towards finding a solution that addresses the root cause of the conflict and promotes understanding and cooperation among the parties involved. This approach allows for a more productive and constructive resolution process.

    Rate this question:

  • 36. 

    29.  Obtaining a marriage license would occur during the intensifying stage of a relationship.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Obtaining a marriage license typically occurs during the commitment stage of a relationship, not the intensifying stage. The intensifying stage is characterized by increasing emotional closeness and intimacy, while the commitment stage involves making long-term plans and formalizing the relationship through marriage or other legal means.

    Rate this question:

  • 37. 

    67.  The term risky shift refers to the fact that

    • Group members often shift their positions on issues.

    • Group decisions are often riskier than decisions made by individuals.

    • A risk is entailed when a group shifts from more formal techniques to brainstorming.

    • A risk is entailed for a group member who shifts from a 1/1 decision-making stule to a 9/9 style.

    Correct Answer
    A. Group decisions are often riskier than decisions made by individuals.
    Explanation
    The term risky shift refers to the phenomenon where group decisions tend to be riskier than decisions made by individuals. This suggests that when people are part of a group, they are more willing to take risks and make more daring decisions compared to when they are making decisions on their own. This can be attributed to factors such as diffusion of responsibility, social influence, and a desire to conform to the group's norms and expectations. Overall, the risky shift highlights the impact of group dynamics on decision-making processes.

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    72.  An effective group climate includes all but which of one of the following characteristics?

    • Supportiveness

    • Top-down decision making

    • Trust among members

    • High performance goals

    Correct Answer
    A. Top-down decision making
    Explanation
    An effective group climate includes characteristics such as supportiveness, trust among members, and high performance goals. However, top-down decision making is not a characteristic of an effective group climate. Top-down decision making refers to a hierarchical approach where decisions are made by those in authority and imposed on the group members. In an effective group climate, decision making is typically more collaborative and participatory, allowing for input and involvement from all members.

    Rate this question:

    • Members of Western cultures tend to focus on long-term goals, deferring gratification.

    • Members of East Asian cultures tend to be less patient than members of Western cultures regarding goal attainment.

    Correct Answer
    A. Members of Western cultures ten to focus on short-term goals with more immediate pay-offs.
    Explanation
    This answer accurately describes how group composition influences goals by stating that members of Western cultures tend to focus on short-term goals with more immediate pay-offs. It contrasts this with the statement about members of East Asian cultures, who are described as being unwilling to defer gratification and preferring not to see long-term goals. This suggests that cultural differences play a role in shaping individuals' goal orientations.

    • Denial.

    • Anger.

    • Guilt.

    • All of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above.
    Explanation
    The grief process includes denial, anger, and guilt. Denial is a common initial reaction to loss, where individuals may refuse to accept the reality of the situation. Anger can arise as a result of feeling helpless or unjustly treated. Guilt often accompanies grief, as individuals may blame themselves for the loss or feel guilty for things left unsaid or undone. Therefore, all of these emotions are part of the grief process.

    Correct Answer
    A. Role.

    A particular kind of communicative act exhibited by a group member is called a role. In a group setting, individuals take on different roles that contribute to the overall functioning and success of the group. These roles can include being a leader, a facilitator, a mediator, or a contributor, among others. Each role has its own set of responsibilities and behaviors, and they work together to achieve the group's objectives. Understanding and fulfilling different roles is crucial for effective group communication and collaboration.

    An ego conflict has the greatest potential to destroy a relationship because it involves personal pride, self-esteem, and the need to be right. In an ego conflict, individuals become defensive, stubborn, and unwilling to compromise, which can lead to resentment, anger, and a breakdown in communication. This type of conflict often escalates quickly and can cause long-lasting damage to the trust and emotional connection between people.

    58.  Dominating others is a task role.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Dominating others is not a task role, but rather a dysfunctional behavior in a group setting. Task roles refer to behaviors that contribute to the accomplishment of the group's goals, such as coordinating tasks, providing information, or offering suggestions. Dominating others, on the other hand, involves exerting control, power, or influence over others in an aggressive or manipulative manner, which can hinder group dynamics and productivity. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    • Interact verbally and nonverbally.

    • Occupy certain roles with respect to one another.

    • Cooperate to accomplish a goal.

    • All of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "all of the above". This is because a group is composed of people who interact verbally and nonverbally, meaning they communicate with each other both through words and through nonverbal cues such as body language. Additionally, within a group, individuals occupy certain roles with respect to one another, meaning they have specific positions or responsibilities within the group. Finally, a group cooperates to accomplish a goal, which implies that they work together and collaborate towards a common objective. Therefore, all of the given options accurately describe the characteristics of a group.
