Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

In the online world, group members cannot perceive nonverbal cues, and hence, group norms can be difficult to establish. Online environments also lead to disinhibition, in which people express themselves more bluntly, abruptly, or aggressively than they would in face-to-face settings. Their messages lack the verbal softeners and nonverbal nuances that smooth interactions and make consensus easier to reach. Heightened self-disclosure also appears more often in online interactions. The online world tends to flatten out hierarchies and equalize status, partly because many of the cues used to establish status are less apparent. In addition to all this, trust is not easy for virtual teams to create.
