Let's break down these communication questions!

Answers and Explanations:

Q1: False

It's important to be present and attentive when someone is talking to you. Thinking about your response while they're speaking can make you miss important information and make the conversation feel disengaged.

Q2: False

Hearing is the physical process of sound waves reaching your ears. Listening involves actively paying attention, processing, and understanding what is being said.

Q3: a. Shannon-Weaver

The Shannon-Weaver model, also known as the Mathematical Theory of Communication, is a foundational model in communication theory. It focuses on the transmission of information from a source to a receiver.

Q4: b. Western

Western cultures tend to be more time-oriented and linear in their approach to time. They value punctuality and schedules. Eastern cultures often have a more flexible and cyclical view of time.

Q5: Problem-solving

Problem-solving meetings are a form of group communication focused on finding solutions to specific issues.

Q6: d. Shannon-Weaver and Berlo's SMCR

Linear models are simple, unidirectional, and focus on the transmission of information from a sender to a receiver. The Shannon-Weaver and Berlo's SMCR (Source, Message, Channel, Receiver) models are examples of this.

Q7: False

Listening is an active process that involves paying attention, understanding, and responding. Hearing is simply the physical reception of sound.

Q8: True

Statistics are numerical representations of data that often show relationships, trends, or patterns.

Q9: d. simple, unidirectional, psychological over social effects, persuasion not mutual understanding

Linear models are characterized by their simplicity, unidirectional flow of information, emphasis on psychological effects over social ones, and focus on persuasion rather than mutual understanding.

Q10: b. Dance

Dance's Helical Model emphasizes the cumulative nature of communication, where past experiences and events influence present interactions. It also highlights the forward-moving nature of communication.

Q11: There are many forms of communication.

There isn't a single, definitive number of communication forms. Some common categories include:

• Intrapersonal: Communication with oneself
• Interpersonal: Communication between two people
• Group: Communication within a group of people
• Public: Communication to a large audience
• Mass: Communication through media channels

Q12: c. Prejudice, ethnocentrism, and stereotyping

These are major obstacles in intercultural communication:

• Prejudice: Preconceived judgments about individuals or groups based on stereotypes.
• Ethnocentrism: The belief that one's own culture is superior to others.
• Stereotyping: Oversimplified and often inaccurate generalizations about entire groups of people.

Q13: True

Extrinsic noise is any external factor that interferes with communication, such as loud noises, distractions, or interruptions. Roosters crowing at 2 a.m. would definitely be considered an external noise.

Q14: b. helix

A helix is a three-dimensional spiral shape, like a spring or a DNA molecule.

Q15: False

Selective hearing can actually hinder understanding. It involves focusing on only certain parts of a message while ignoring others, leading to misinterpretations and misunderstandings.

Q16: d. transactional

The transactional model is also known as the convergence model because it emphasizes the simultaneous and interactive nature of communication. It recognizes that both sender and receiver are actively involved in creating meaning.

Q17: a. external noise, internal noise, semantic noise, factual noise

These are the four main types of noise in communication:

• External noise: Physical distractions from the environment.
• Internal noise: Thoughts, feelings, or physiological states that interfere with listening.
• Semantic noise: Differences in meaning or interpretation of words or symbols.
• Factual noise: Misunderstandings or disagreements about the content of the message.

Q18: c. It is part of their culture

While there are many factors that contribute to academic success, cultural values and educational systems play a significant role. In many Asian cultures, including Chinese culture, education is highly valued, and there is a strong emphasis on math and science.

Q19: False

Self-awareness is crucial for effective listening. Understanding your own biases, assumptions, and emotional state helps you to listen more objectively and empathetically.
