2. Friendship can form even between people who rarely interact.
3. Intimates can be romantically involved with each other.
4. Upon self-disclosure, an information from the secret pane moves into the open pane of the Johari window.
5. Online communication may present a potentially less difficult way to meet others than traditional face-to-face interactions.
6. Online friendships are developed based on a person’s physical appearance, race, and culture.

Answer 1

1. True. Friends are often referred according to the context in which people interact with them. These context friendships may fade if the context changes.
2. False. One must be proactive about setting up times to spend together. Friendship is not likely to form or endure between people who rarely interact.
3. True. Intimate relationships can be platonic or romantic. A romantic relationship is one in which the partners acknowledge their sexual attraction to one another.
4. True. The "secret" pane contains everything you know about yourself but your partner does not yet know. As you share secret information through self-disclosure, that information moves into the open pane of the Johari window.
5. True. Relationships can begin in face-to-face or online environments. Online communication may present a potentially less difficult way to meet others than traditional face-to-face interactions.
6. False. Online partners usually respond to people’s verbal messages than their physical appearance or nonverbal cues. This increases the likelihood that they form relationships that cross boundaries of race, class, and sex.
