AXIOMS OF UNCERTAINTY REDUCTION THEORY
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100 % ACCURATE
Axiom 1 Given the high level of uncertainty present at the onset of the entry phase, as the
amount of verbal communication between strangers increase, the level of uncertainty of each
interactant in the relationship decreases. As uncertainty is further reduced, the amount of verbal
communication uncertainty and verb
so the amount of verbal communication increases, the level of uncertainty reduces
Axiom 2 As nonverbal affiliative expressiveness increases, uncertainty levels decrease in an initial
interaction situation. In addition, decreases in uncertainty level will cause increase in nonverbal afflictive
expressiveness. This is another negative relationship.
Axiom 3 High levels on uncertainty in cause increases in information-seeking behavior. As
uncertainty levels decline, information-seeking behavior decreases. This axiom sets forth a positive
relationship between the two concepts.

communication content. low levels of uncertainty produce high levels of intimacy. The axiom poses a
negative relationship between uncertainty and levels of intimacy.
Axiom 5 High levels of uncertainty produce high rates of reciprocity. Low levels of uncertainty
produce low levels of reciprocity. A positive relationship is advanced here.
