![ Axiom 1: Given the high level of uncertainty present at the onset of the entry
phase, as the amount of verbal communication between strangers increases, the level
of uncertainty for each interactant in the relationship will decrease. As uncertainty is
further reduced, the amount of verbal communication will increase.
Axiom 2: As nonverbal warmth affiliative expressiveness increases, uncertainty
levels will decrease in an initial interaction situation. In addition, decreases in
uncertainty level will cause increases in nonverbal affiliative expressiveness.
Axiom 3: High levels of uncertainty cause increases in information-seeking behavior.
As uncertainty decline, information-seeking behavior decreases.
Axiom 4: High levels of uncertainty in a relationship cause decreases in the Self
discloser level of communication content. Low levels of uncertainty produce high
levels of intimacy.
Axiom 5: High levels of uncertainty produce high rates of reciprocity[disambiguation needed ].
Low levels of uncertainty produce low levels of reciprocity.
Axiom 6: Similarities between persons reduce uncertainty, while dissimilarities
produce increases in uncertainty.
Axiom 7: Increases in uncertainty level produce decreases in liking; decreases in
uncertainty produce increases in liking.
Axiom 8: Shared networks reduce uncertainty, while lack of shared networks
increases uncertainty.[1](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/yaknow-111126102707-phpapp02/85/Ya-know-8-320.jpg)

- 2. When people interact, they will act to reduce the uncertainty about the other person, seeking ways to predict their behavior. This is particularly true when they first meet and they do not know one another. The most common way of reducing uncertainty is via information-seeking, questioning the other person, for example about their background. We start with the opening small-talk before moving on to the meat of the conversation. Other approaches are to find out indirectly about the person (e.g. by asking a friend) or to passively observe them.

- 9. Upon meeting someone who sits next to you in a class, you begin to ask questions about that person in order to reduce uncertainty. Chances are high that they will reciprocate and seek to reduce uncertainty as well.

- 11. deals with a society‘s tolerance for uncertainty and ambiguity and ultimately mans search for truth extent a culture programs its members to feel either uncomfortable or comfortable in unstructured situations (meaning unknown, surprising, and different from usual) Uncertainty avoiding cultures try to minimize the possibility of such situations by strict laws and rules, safety and security measures, and on the philosophical and religious level by a belief in absolute Truth; ‗there can only be one Truth and we have it‘. For example, Germans are not to keen on uncertainty, by planning everything carefully they try to avoid the uncertainty. In Germany there is a society that relies on rules, laws and regulations. Germany wants to reduce its risks to the minimum and proceed with changes step by step. The United States compared to the German culture Uncertainty avoidance in the US is relatively low, which can clearly be viewed through the national cultures.
- 12. Likely & Negative or Unlikely & Positive. It‘s likely to happen and it‘s negative. Super unlikely but it‘s positive. Divergence between our evaluation and probability.
- 13. Can‘t Predict what‘s going to happen. Makes it really hard if you would like to do something but you couldn‘t predict how it would run.
- 14. Conflicting evaluation. You have either two positive or negative. You have two jobs both look good but it‘s hard to decide between them. Sometimes we like uncertainty. E.G. We don‘t like negative news, maybe the test was wrong... maybe you don‘t have this disease. We would want to increase your uncertainty to help you progress in an illness.

- 17. 1. Time together: ―Proximity (nearness) + Time = Intimacy‖ 2. Shared experiences: share thoughts, feelings, and experiences honestly with the other. 3. Depth of interpersonal exchange: sharing of personal self. 4. Exclusivity: a decision to make this person ―special‖ in one‘s life—one of a kind. 5. Collective concern: beginning to see the relationship as adding to one‘s identity…the ―we-ness.‖ Being able to communicate at each level of a relationship is very important… Sometimes people confuse the levels and jump ahead in the phases of development without sharing and learning how to communicate effectively at each stage. At what levels are your most important relationships right now? Is there a level you are not at now with someone, but would like to be someday?
