Question 1

Which of the following is not a good example of an identity display?&#10;A) A nonverbal accent&#10;B) The time of day that someone was born&#10;C) The smoothness/roughness of someone's skin&#10;D) Body piercings

Accepted Answer

The time of day someone was born is not within an individual's control and therefore cannot be considered an intentional identity display. The other options - nonverbal accent, smoothness/roughness of skin, and body piercings - are all examples of deliberate identity displays that individuals choose to express as part of their identity.

Question 2

The most prominent physical appearance identifier of race is:&#10;A) Dress&#10;B) Height&#10;C) Physiognomy&#10;D) Jewelry

Accepted Answer

Physiognomy, or the facial features and structure, is often used as a primary identifier of race. This includes characteristics such as skin color, eye shape, and nose shape, which have been historically associated with certain racial groups. Dress, height, and jewelry are not necessarily reliable indicators of race as individuals from different races may dress, be tall or short, and wear jewelry in similar ways.

Question 3

Which is not one of the four principles of the image management process as listed in the textbook:&#10;A) We manage multiple identities&#10;B) Image management is concerned with cause-and-effect relationships&#10;C) Image management techniques are typically directed toward a generalized audience&#10;D) Image management is a process that involves minimal pre-preparation or cognitive energy&#10;E) Image management focused on the single encoder who is enacting image management strategies

Accepted Answer

The fourth principle listed in the textbook is that image management is a process that involves pre-preparation and cognitive energy, so option D is incorrect. The other options are all valid principles of the image management process: A) managing multiple identities, B) cause-and-effect relationships, C) directing image management towards a generalized audience, and E) focusing on the single encoder.

Question 4

What are the four key elements of Expectancy Violations Theory (EVT):&#10;A) Expectancies, expectancy violations, communicator valence, violation valence&#10;B) Expectancies, expectancy violations, encoder valence, decoder valence&#10;C) Expectancies, expectancy valence, predictive violations, prescriptive violations&#10;D) Expectancies, management violations, impression violations, expectancy violations

Accepted Answer

The four key elements of Expectancy Violations Theory (EVT) are expectancies, expectancy violations, communicator valence, and violation valence. Expectancies refer to the anticipated behavior in a given situation. Expectancy violations occur when actual behavior deviates from expected behavior. Communicator valence refers to the positive or negative attributes that a person brings to a communication encounter, and violation valence refers to the positive or negative evaluation of the deviation from expected behavior.

Question 5

The &#34;What if beautiful is good&#34; hypothesis is an example of which form of bias:&#10;A) Primacy bias&#10;B) Recency bias&#10;C) Confirmation bias&#10;D) Visual bias

Accepted Answer

The "What if beautiful is good" hypothesis is an example of visual bias, which suggests that people tend to attribute positive characteristics and traits to individuals who are physically attractive.

Question 6

Impression management has to do with encoding and impression formation has to do with decoding.

Accepted Answer

Impression management involves controlling the information we present to others, while impression formation involves interpreting and making judgments about the information presented by others. Therefore, encoding is associated with impression management and decoding is associated with impression formation.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

This is generally true across most studies and cultures, although there may be individual differences and situational factors that impact smiling behavior.

Accepted Answer

Defensive image management occurs when people experience or anticipate a predicament in which they believe others will attribute negative qualities to them, and assertive image management occurs when actors attempt to establish particular attributes in the eyes of others.
