Question 16.
How can faulty behaviour be modified with token economy? Elucidate with the help of an example. [2]
OR
What are two levels of the hierarchical model of intelligence?
Answer:
For desirable behaviour to occur again positive reinforcement is given to the child. Token economy is a way of giving positive reinforcement. In this practice, a token in the form of button or stars is given to child every time that desirable behaviour is observed. These token are then collected and exchanged for a reward which the child would like, for e.g., a treat, extra time to play, etc.
OR
The two levels of the hierarchical model of intelligence given by Arthur Jensen are:
Level I – This level is associative learning in which output is more or less similar to the input as in rote learning.
Level II – This is cognitive competence (sensitivity to contact, understanding discrimination, problem solving and effective communication). It involves higher order skills as they transform the input to produce an effective output.
Question 17.
Explain any one stage of the General Adaptation Syndrome. [2]
Answer:
1. Alarm Reaction: The presence of a harmful stimulus or stressor leads to activation of the adrenal-pituitary-cortex system. This triggers the release of hormones which produces the stress response and prepares the individual for fight or flight.
2. Resistance: If stress is prolonged, the parasympathetic nervous system calls for more cautious use of the body’s resources. During this stage, an individual makes an effort to cope with the threat.
3. Exhaustion: Continued exposure to the same stressor or additional stressor drains the body of its resources and leads to burnout. The physiological systems involved in the first two stages become ineffective and susceptibility to stress-related diseases like high blood-pressure increases.
Question 18.

Section-C
Question 22.
Reshma is regarded by her teachers as an excellent student. It has been observed that Reshma leans more toward being intelligent. Define intelligence and explain why Reshma is considered intelligent. [3]
OR
Geeta and Seeta are identical twins born in a family of wealth. It was seen that ultimately Geeta became a doctor whereas Seeta was always struggling and staying between jobs. It was also observed that at the age of 18 Geeta had a higher IQ than Seeta. Why is Geeta’s IQ higher than Seeta’s? Mention about the role of nature and nurture in intelligence while framing the answer.
Answer:
According to Weschler, Intelligence can be defined as the global capacity of an individual to think rationally, act purposefully and deal effectively with his/her environment. In the given case, Reshma is considered intelligent because she is quick at grasping new information and easily understands instructions. She also performs well in class and has been a topper. These characteristics indicate that Reshma is an intelligent student.
OR
Geeta and Seeta were identical twins but still Geeta’s IQ ended up being high because she got an environment that supported and advanced her intelligence.
Intelligence is a product of complex interaction of heredity (nature) and environment (nurture). Heredity can best be viewed as something that sets a range within which an individual’s development is actually shaped by the support and opportunities of the environment. So, even if you have inherited high intelligence, your environment can affect this negatively and result in a low IQ.

Self-care: This involves keeping ourselves healthy and relaxed which prepares physically and emotionally to tackle the stresses of everyday life.
Question 26.
Aditya has to use observational methods for personality assessment. Discuss the observation methods used in personality assessment. [4]
Answer:
Observation is one of the most important methods of research and understanding clients. There are two types of observations:
1. Non-participant Observation – To observe the person or event from a distance. The person being observed may not be aware that he/she is being observed. For example, you want to observe the pattern of interaction between teachers and students in a particular class. This can be done by installing a video camera to record the classroom activities. Alternatively, one may decide to sit in a corner of the class without interfering or participating in their everyday activities.
2. Participant Observation – The observer may become part of the group being observed. The observer may become a part of the crowd wherein s/he wishes to observe crowd behaviour when there has been an accident nearby.
If the people being observed have an idea that they are being observed then they may not indulge in the expected behaviour. In non-participant behaviour the observer cannot manipulate the situation and waiting for the desired behaviour or situation to take place can be a long and tedious process.
Question 27.
Analyse the Thematic Appreciation Test (TAT). [4]
Answer:
This test was developed by Morgan and Murray. The test procedure is as follows:
(i) The test consists of 30 black and white picture cards and one blank card.
(ii) Each picture is printed on the card and it depicts one or more people in a variety of situations.
(iii) Some cards are used with adult males or females, some are used with boys or girls and rest in some other combination.
(iv) The cards are presented one at a time and the subject is asked to tell a story describing the situation presented in the picture. Questions like what led up to the situation, what is happening at the moment, what will happen in the future, and what the characters are feeling and thinking are to be answered.
(v) A standard procedure is available for scoring TAT responses. The test has been modified for children and for the aged. Uma Chaudhury’s Indian adaptation of TAT is also available.
OR
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological model that categorizes human needs into five levels, each building upon the previous one. These levels, in ascending order, are physiological needs (e.g., food, shelter), safety needs (e.g., security, employment), belongingness and love need (e.g., friendships, relationships), esteem needs (e.g., self-esteem, recognition), and self-actualization needs (e.g., personal growth, fulfilment).
This model is significantasit helps us understand that individuals typically priorities lower-level needs before, moving to higher ones, shedding light on human motivation and behaviour, and emphasizing the role of fulfilment and self realization in human development.

OR
Compliance is defined as the extreme condition forcing the person to accept influence (of another significant condition) and behave in a particular way in response to a request from another person/group even in the absence of a norm. What are the factors that are used to make others comply? [4]
Answer:
Prejudices refer to preconceived opinions or attitudes held by members of one group towards another. The word literally means “pre-judgement”, that is, an opinion formed in advance of any familiarity with the subject, before considering any available evidence.
Here are the three sources that lead to the development of prejudices.
Learning:
Prejudices can also be learned through association, reward and punishment, observing others, group or cultural norms and exposure to information that encourages prejudice.
The family, reference groups, personal experiences and the media play a role in the learning of prejudices.
People who learn prejudiced attitudes may develop a “prejudiced personality”, and show low adjusting capacity, anxiety, and feelings of hostility against the outgroup.
A strong social identity and ingroup bias: Individuals who have a strong sense of social identity and have a very positive attitude towards their own group boost this attitude by holding negative attitudes towards other groups. These are shown as prejudices.
Scapegoating:
In Scapegoating the majority group places the blame on a minority outgroup for its own social, economic or political problems.
OR
Factors used to make others comply:
(a) ‘Foot in the Door’ Technique: Beginning by making a small request that one can’t refuse, move on to bigger ones-once you comply with the first request, feel uncomfortable refusing the second one.
(b) ‘Deadline’ Technique: A ‘last date’ is announced until an offer is available – make people hurry so they can’t miss the opportunity.
(c) ‘Door in the Face’ Technique: Beginning with a large request and when this is refused, move onto making a smaller request (the one actually required), usually granted.
Section-E
Question 29.
State three conditions which facilitate group formation.
OR
Describe any two elements of group structure. [6]
Answer:
Basic to group formation is some contact and some form of interaction between people. This interaction is facilitated by the following conditions:
(1) Proximity: Repeated interactions with the same set of individuals give us a chance to know them, and their interests and attitudes. Common interests, attitudes, and background are important determinants of your liking for your group members.
(2) Similarity: Being exposed to someone over a period of time makes us assess our similarities and paves the way for formation of groups.
The reason given by psychologists for group formation between similar people or liking between similar people is when two people are similar, there is consistency and they start liking each other. For example, you like playing football and another person in your class also loves playing football; there is a matching of your interests. There are higher chances that you may become a group.
Another explanation given by psychologists is that when we meet similar people, they reinforce and validate our opinions and values, we feel we are right and thus we start liking them.
Common motives and goals: When people have common motives or goal they get together and form a group which may facilitate their goal attainment. Suppose you want to teach children in a slum area who are unable to go to school. You cannot do his alone because you have your own studies and homework. You, therefore, form a group of like minded friends and start teaching these children. So, you have been able to achieve what you could not have done alone.
OR
The two important elements of group structure are Roles and Norms:
(a) Roles
(b) Norms
Roles: Roles are socially defined expectations that individuals in a given situation are expected to fulfil. Roles refer to the typical behaviour that depicts a person in a given social context. In a role of a son or a daughter there are certain role expectations when in that role. An example is , as a daughter or a son, you are expected to respect elders, listen to them, and be responsible towards your studies.
Norms: Norms are expected standards of behaviour and beliefs established, agreed upon, and enforced by group members. They may be considered as a group’s “unspoken rules”.
In your family, there are norms that guide the behaviour of family members.
These norms represent shared ways of viewing the world.
Question 30.
Elaborate on the substance-related and addictive disorders in people.
OR
What are the effects of stress on psychological functioning and health? [6]
Answer:
Alcohol:
- People who abuse, alcohol drink large amounts and rely on it to help them face difficult situations.
- Eventually, the drinking interferes with their social behaviour and ability to think and work.
- Their bodies build up tolerance for alcohol and they need to drink large amounts to feel its effect.
- They also feel withdrawal symptoms when they stop drinking. Alcohol destroys millions of families, social relationships and careers. It also has serious effects on the children of persons with this disorder. These children have higher rates of psychological problems, particularly anxiety, depression, phobias and substance abuse related disorders.
Heroin
- Heroin intake significantly interferes with social and occupational functioning. Most abusers further develop a dependence on heroin, revolving their lives around the substance, building up a tolerance for it, and experiencing a withdrawal reaction when they stop taking it.
- The most direct danger of heroin abuse is an overdose, which slows down the respiratory centers in the brain, almost paralysing breathing and in many cases causing deaths.
Cocaine
- Regular use of cocaine may lead to a pattern of abuse in which the person may be intoxicated throughout the day and function poorly in social relationships and at work.
- May also cause problems of short-term memory and attention.
- Dependence may develop, so that cocaine dominates the person’s life, more of the drug is needed to get the desired effects, and stopping it results in feelings of depression, fatigue, sleep problems, irritability and anxiety. Cocaine poses serious dangers. It has dangerous effects on psychological functioning and physical well-being.
OR
Projective tests in psychology are a unique category of assessment tools designed to uncover an individual’s unconscious thoughts, emotions, and underlying personality traits. These tests present individuals with ambiguous stimuli, such as images or scenarios, and then ask them to provide open-ended responses, which are subsequently analyzed by trained professionals. The central idea behind projective tests is that individuals will project their internal psychological content onto these ambiguous stimuli, offering insights into their subconscious.
One well-known example of a projective test is the Rorschach Inkblot Test. In this test, individuals view ten inkblots and describe what they see in each image. Their responses are assessed based on various factors, including where they focus with in the image and the content of their descriptions. Analysts use these responses to infer underlying personality characteristics and emotional states.
Section-F
Read the case and answer the questions that follow.
Mohsin, a 6-year-old boy, has difficulty in feeding and dressing himself, but training from his parents has helped him to be a little independent. He faces trouble making friends outside his family and has difficulty in dealing with people in social situations. His parents are always worried about him and are aware that he needs consistent level of supervision in daily tasks. Mohsin’s brother understands his needs and what he says but it is difficult for his peers to understand him as he lags behind them in communication and language skills.
Throughout Mohsin’s journey, psychologists and health workers focused on engaging his family in meaningful future planning using a variety of strategies and resources. This included offering them ongoing and timely information and assisting the family to understand and connect to resources.
Question 31.
Identify the disorder Mohsin is exhibiting. Distinguish it from autism spectrum disorder. [1]
Answer:
(a) Mohsin is exhibiting the symptoms of Intellectual disability which falls under the category of Neurodevelopmental disorder. The Difference between the Intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder is as follows:
(1) Autism spectrum disorder is a condition that causes significant social, communication and behavioural changes while intellectual disability is a condition that causes limitation in both intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour that cover many day-to-day social and practical skills.
(2) The sign and symptoms of ASD may include making little eye contact, appearing not to look at people who are talking, being slow to respond, having difficulties with back-and forth conversation, etc. Whereas the signs and symptoms of intellectual disability, include rolling over, sitting up, crawling, or walking late, talking late, having trouble with talking, slow to master things, difficulty in dressing and feeding themselves, difficulty in remembering things, etc.
Question 32.
How are the symptoms that Mohsin is exhibiting different from a more severe form of that same disorder? [2]
Answer:
The symptoms that Mohsin is exhibiting are different from a more severe form of that disorder. He is suffering from moderate Intellectual disability that shows lagging behind their peers in language and motor skills only. But he can be trained in self-care skills. He requires only a moderate degree of supervision. In contrast, Children with severe and profound intellectual disability are incapable of managing life and need constant care for their entire lives.
