D) Conjugate lateral eye movements (CLEMs).
E) None of the above.

Question 6

Readiness, preening behaviors, positioning cues, and appeals to invitation. To what do these refer?

A) Pupil size.
B) Deception detection.
C) Quasi-courtship.
D) Conjugate lateral eye movements (CLEMs).
E) None of the above.

Question 7

Through questioning, such as probing questions; when the person is a closer friend than just an acquaintance; when there is more than one meeting; and more body and vocal cues are better for this. What concept is this?

A) Pupil size.
B) Deception detection.
C) Quasi-courtship.
D) Cultural influences of eye behavior.
E) None of the above.

Question 8

A) Courtship readiness.
B) Preening behaviors.
C) Positioning cues.
D) Appeals to invitation.
E) None of the above.

Question 9

This quasi-courtship behavior says that you will be likely to increase your muscle tone, reduce your eye bagginess, slouch less, and pull in your stomach (or reduce belly sag). Which quasi-courtship behavior is this?

A) Courtship readiness.
B) Preening behaviors.
C) Positioning cues.
D) Appeals to invitation.
E) None of the above.

Question 10

Illustrators and emblems most commonly do this.

A) Display affective information.
B) Display cognitive information.
C) Show kinesic differences between liars and people who are simply tense.
D) Indicate best place to determine deception.
E) None of the above.

Question 14

Question 15

Tell three quasi-courtship preening kinesic behaviors.

Question 16

Tell three quasi-courtship appeals to invitation kinesic behaviors.

Question 17

Tell the findings about increasing eye contact in a live public speaking situation.

Question 18

Discuss how and why research done into African-American culture has its shortcomings.

Question 19

Using an example, discuss how you have seen men and women communicate differently using their kinesic factors.

Question 20

Discuss how pupil size has been used by media, lawyers, and others to determine a message to be sent.

Question 21

Using an example, discuss how you have seen someone (it may be yourself) use the quasi- courtship behaviors to try to establish a relationship.

Using an example, discuss how you have detected (or how you have seen others detect) deception.
