Q: Which of the following are the components of emotional intelligence, according to Mayer and Salovey model ?1. Perceiving emotions2. Using emotions to facilitate thoughts3. Understanding emotions4. Managing emotionsCodes :

All four, 1, 2, 3 and 4, are components of emotional intelligence in the Mayer and Salovey model.The model has four branches: perceiving emotions, using emotions to facilitate thought, understanding emotions and managing emotions.The options listing only some of the branches leave out components that the model includes, so they are incomplete. Each branch is a skill that can be measured, which is why the model is treated as an ability model of emotional intelligence.

Q: Match List - I with List - II and indicate your answer with the help of the codes given below :List - I (Concept)List - II (Description)p. Planning fallacy1. Tendency to adhere to bad decisions even if the losses increasesq. Confirmation bias2. Tendency to evaluate events by thinking about alternatives to them.r. Counterfactual thinking3. Tendency to underestimate the resources needed to achieve a goals. Escalation of commitment4. Tendency to pay attention primarily to information that confirms existing views.Codes : p q r s

The correct code is p-3, q-4, r-2, s-1.The planning fallacy is the tendency to underestimate the resources needed for a goal. Confirmation bias is attending mainly to information that confirms existing views. Counterfactual thinking is evaluating events by thinking about alternatives to them, and escalation of commitment is sticking to bad decisions even when losses grow.The other codes pair at least one concept with the wrong description, so they are rejected.

Q: According to Sternberg's theory, which of the following are associated with "performance component" of the cognitive processes ?1. Perceptual processing2. Retrieval from long term memory3. Storage of information in memory4. Problem solving skills5. Formulation of strategies for problem solving

The performance components in Sternberg's theory are perceptual processing and retrieval from long term memory (1 and 2).Performance components carry out the steps of the task, such as encoding what is seen and retrieving what is needed from memory.Formulating strategies is the work of metacomponents, which plan and control processing. Storage of information in memory is linked with knowledge-acquisition, and problem solving skills are the broad outcome and not a single performance component. So the options with 3, 4 or 5 are rejected.

D.p-2, q-1, r-3, s-4

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: B

The correct code is p-3, q-4, r-2, s-1.

The planning fallacy is the tendency to underestimate the resources needed for a goal. Confirmation bias is attending mainly to information that confirms existing views. Counterfactual thinking is evaluating events by thinking about alternatives to them, and escalation of commitment is sticking to bad decisions even when losses grow.

The other codes pair at least one concept with the wrong description, so they are rejected.

The performance components in Sternberg's theory are perceptual processing and retrieval from long term memory (1 and 2).

Performance components carry out the steps of the task, such as encoding what is seen and retrieving what is needed from memory.

Formulating strategies is the work of metacomponents, which plan and control processing. Storage of information in memory is linked with knowledge-acquisition, and problem solving skills are the broad outcome and not a single performance component. So the options with 3, 4 or 5 are rejected.

Read each of the following two statements Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and indicate your answer using the codes given below :

Assertion (A) : Researchers have shown that language may play an important role in shaping important aspects of cognition.
Reason (R) : 'Linguistic Relativity' hypothesis suggests that language shapes or determines our thoughts and the way we think.
Codes :

A.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is correct explanation of (A).
B.Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
C.(A) is true, but (R) is false.
D.(A) is false, but (R) is true.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: B

Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

The assertion reports that research shows language may shape aspects of cognition, and the linguistic relativity hypothesis does say that language shapes thought, so both are true.

But the reason only names the hypothesis. It does not give the evidence or the mechanism behind the research findings, so it is not an explanation of the assertion. The option making it the explanation is rejected.
