Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

The deliberate manipulation of people's beliefs, values and behaviour through words, gestures and images is known as propaganda.

Publicity is making something known to the public, persuasion is an attempt to change a view by argument and need not be a manipulation, and perception is the way a person interprets sensory information.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

Triggering the mind of participants to find out solutions for a problem is called brain storming. In a brain storming session a group puts forward as many ideas as it can, without criticism, and the ideas are evaluated afterwards. A symposium is a set of short talks by experts on the parts of a topic, a debate is an argument between two sides on a proposition, and colloquism is not a standard group method. So the keyed answer is option D.

Which of the following are visual aids ?

(i) Black Board
(ii) Posters
(iii) Public address system
(iv) Flash cards

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

The visual aids are the black board, posters and flash cards, which are (i), (ii) and (iv), option B. These are all seen by the learner, who gets the message through the eye. A public address system is an audio aid, since it carries sound only, and it is used to reach a large gathering, so (iii) does not belong in the list, and options A and D, which include it, are wrong. Option C leaves out the black board, which is a visual aid, and so is incomplete.

Feedback covers the following functions in communication :

(a) Facilitates action
(b) Improves learning
(c) Removes barriers
(d) Informs audience

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

Feedback tells the sender how the message was received, so it facilitates action, improves learning and removes barriers to understanding, which are (a), (b) and (c), option (C). Its flow runs from the receiver back to the source, so informing the audience, (d), is not a function of feedback; it is the work of the message itself. The three options that carry (d) are therefore wrong, and the one that has the correct three functions is the third.

Assertion (A) : Intrapersonal communication is important for self reflection.

Reason (R) : Self reflection is important for communicating with others.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

Intrapersonal communication, the communication with oneself, is important for self reflection, so (A) is true. Self reflection also helps in communicating with others, since a person who knows his own thoughts can express them, so (R) is true. But the reason does not explain why intrapersonal communication matters for reflection; it only states another relationship. So both are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation.

Identify the correct sequencing order in the process of listening :

I. Understanding
II. Remembering
III. Receiving
IV. Evaluating
V. Responding

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: A

Listening starts with receiving, since a message cannot be understood before it is heard, so the sequence has to begin with III. Of the options, only the first begins with receiving; the others begin with remembering, understanding or responding. The key order is receiving, understanding, remembering, responding, evaluating. Some texts put evaluating before responding, but none of the other options starts with receiving, so the first option is the best available and the key is followed.

Arrange the following in the proper sequence of communication :

I. Message
II. Source
III. Decoder
IV. Encoder
V. Destination

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

The communication process starts with the source, which has the message; the encoder turns the message into a code, the decoder reads the code and the destination receives it. The sequence is therefore source, message, encoder, decoder, destination, which is II, I, IV, III, V, option (B). Option (A) puts the message before the source, option (C) puts the decoder before the encoder, and option (D) puts the decoder and the destination before the encoder, so none of them can occur, since a message cannot be decoded before it is encoded.

(v) Conviction
(vi) Desire

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

The steps in behaviour change communication follow the attention, interest, desire, conviction, action and satisfaction pattern: first attention is caught, then interest is raised, desire for the change builds, conviction follows, the person acts and finally feels satisfied. In the numbering, that is (iii), (ii), (vi), (v), (i), (iv). The other orders put action or satisfaction early, which cannot be the case before the person has been convinced.
