From our reading of Hall and our discussion in class, the following stages (Hall) apply to the given degrees of lateness (discussion)
5 minutes or less = Mumble Something
10 -5 minutes = Sight Apology, infomally given
20-10 minutes = Mildly Insulting, Apology needed
30-20 minutes = Rude Period
45- 30 minutes = Downright Insulting
No Show = ???
All of the above are influenced by an individual's culture and co-culture.
What other factors would influence the reactions of a participant in this kind of action? Does the relationship of the parties matter? Does the time of day matter, speaking of time? What if it's a business meeting, would you expect to land the client or account if you were late for the initial encounter?
