Q: Using the multiaxial system of DSM-IV-TR paranoid personality disorder and borderline personality disorder would be coded on

Paranoid and borderline personality disorders are coded on Axis II.The multiaxial system of DSM-IV-TR placed clinical disorders on Axis I, and personality disorders and mental retardation on Axis II. Paranoid and borderline personality disorders are both personality disorders, so they belong on Axis II.Axis III records general medical conditions and Axis IV records psychosocial and environmental problems, so neither can hold a personality diagnosis. Axis I is for clinical syndromes such as mood and anxiety disorders.

Q: Explaining language development Jerome Bruner proposed

Bruner proposed the Language Acquisition Support System.Bruner argued that language grows through social interaction. Parents and caregivers give structured help to the child, for example through routines and games, and this support helps the child to learn the language. He set this against Chomsky's innate Language Acquisition Device.The language acquisition system (as an inborn device) is Chomsky's view, and the developmental time table and language processing system are not Bruner's proposals.

Q: Match List - I with List - II and indicate your answer with the help of the codes given below :List - I (Description)List - II (Nomenclature)p. Number of new cases that occur over a given period of time.1. Epidemiologyq. Study of the distribution of diseases or health related behaviours in a given population2. Syndromer. Number of active cases in a population in a given period of time.3. Incidences. A group or cluster of symptoms that occur together4. PrevalenceCodes : p q r s

The correct code is p-3, q-1, r-4, s-2.The number of new cases in a given period is incidence. The study of how diseases or health behaviours are distributed in a population is epidemiology. The number of active cases at a given time is prevalence, and a group of symptoms that occur together is a syndrome.The other codes mix incidence with prevalence or give epidemiology to the wrong description, so they are wrong.

Q: Arrange the following five main steps of a behavioural self-regulation program from start to its end.I. Collect the baseline dataII. Develop a plan of intervention to modify antecedents and/or consequences.III. Specify the problem behaviour.IV. Implement the program and keep measuring behaviour.V. Identify antecedents and consequences.Codes :

The correct order is III, I, V, II, IV.A self-regulation programme begins by specifying the problem behaviour (III), then collecting baseline data on it (I), identifying its antecedents and consequences (V), developing a plan of intervention that alters them (II), and finally implementing the plan while continuing to measure the behaviour (IV).The other sequences put the intervention plan or implementation before the baseline or the analysis of antecedents, so they cannot be right.

Q: Arrange the following stages of language development in order of their occurrence :I. Semantic DevelopmentII. Production of meaningful speechIII. Phonological developmentIV. Grammar/SyntaxCodes :

The order of the key is III, I, IV, II: phonological development, semantic development, grammar or syntax, production of meaningful speech.Sound patterns come first, since the child needs to master the sounds of the language. Meaning (semantic development) is built on those sounds, and grammar then governs how words are put together. The key places meaningful speech last as the outcome of these stages.The options beginning with semantic development (I) put meaning before sounds and are rejected. The option III, I, II, IV differs only in swapping the last two stages, and the key does not follow that order.

Match List-I with List-II and indicate your answer using the codes given below :

List - I (Technique)	List - II (Therapeutic approach)
p. Empty Chair method	1. Existential therapy
q. Logo therapy	2. Transactional analysis
r. Re-parenting	3. Cognitive therapy
s. Cognitive restructuring	4. Gestalt therapy

Codes : p q r s

A.4 1 2 3
B.3 2 1 4
C.1 3 4 2
D.2 4 3 1

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

The empty chair method is a Gestalt technique (4); logotherapy is Frankl's existential therapy (1); re-parenting is a technique of transactional analysis (2); and cognitive restructuring belongs to cognitive therapy (3). The sequence p-4, q-1, r-2, s-3 is code A. Code B gives the empty chair to cognitive therapy, code C gives it to existential therapy, and code D gives it to transactional analysis, so each misplaces the first pair.

Match the following items of List-I with List-II and indicate your answer using codes given below.

List - I	List - II
p. Dementia Praecox	1. Wolpe
q. Systematic Desensitization	2. Bendura
r. Modelling	3. Bleuler
s. Schizophrenia	4. Kraeplin

Codes : p q r s

A.1 2 3 4
B.2 1 4 3
C.4 1 2 3
D.3 2 1 4

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

Dementia praecox is Kraepelin's term (4), systematic desensitisation is Wolpe's technique (1), modelling is Bandura's (2), and the term schizophrenia was coined by Bleuler (3). That gives p-4, q-1, r-2, s-3, which is code C. Code A is the numerical order and pairs dementia praecox with Wolpe. Code B pairs dementia praecox with Bandura, and code D pairs it with Bleuler, so each assigns the wrong person to the first item.

What is the correct sequence of the emergence of the following Ego Strengths ?

A.Loyalty, Love, Care, Wisdom
B.Loyalty, Care, Love, Wisdom
C.Care, Love, Loyalty, Wisdom
D.Care, Loyalty, Wisdom, Love

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

Erikson's ego strengths emerge in the order of the stages: fidelity (loyalty) in adolescence, love in young adulthood, care in adulthood and wisdom in old age. That gives loyalty, love, care, wisdom. Option B swaps love and care, option C starts with care, which comes after love, and option D starts with care and puts wisdom before love. Only the first option follows the life-span order.

Given below are two statements, the first labeled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Indicate your answer using the codes given below :

Assertion (A) : Melanie Klein developed play therapy where children work out their unconscious feeling and conflicts while playing with toys or crafts.
Reason (R) : It is difficult to apply the method of Dream Analysis and Free Association on children because of their inability to express verbally.
Codes :

A.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the 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 - 2013,

Answer: A

Both statements are true and the reason explains the assertion. Melanie Klein developed play therapy, in which children express unconscious feelings and conflicts through play with toys. The reason says that dream analysis and free association are hard to use with children because they cannot express themselves in words. That difficulty is why play was adopted as the child's natural medium of expression. So the reason accounts for the assertion, and the other options deny the truth of one of the statements or the link between them.

Continuum of "Birth Weight" is the basis of studying

A.the effect of biological factors on intellectual development
B.the effect of genetics on intellectual development
C.the effect of genetic and sociocultural factors on intellectual development
D.the effect of biological and socio-cultural factors on intellectual development.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: A

A continuum of birth weight is the basis of studying the effect of biological factors on intellectual development. Birth weight is a physical, prenatal condition, and the research using it compares low-birth-weight with normal-weight children to see how this biological factor affects later intelligence. It does not separate genes from environment, so it does not test the effect of genetics alone, nor genetic and socio-cultural factors together. This agrees with the official key, which is the first option.

Using the multiaxial system of DSM-IV-TR paranoid personality disorder and borderline personality disorder would be coded on

A.Axis I
B.Axis II
C.Axis III
D.Axis IV

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: B

Paranoid and borderline personality disorders are coded on Axis II.

The multiaxial system of DSM-IV-TR placed clinical disorders on Axis I, and personality disorders and mental retardation on Axis II. Paranoid and borderline personality disorders are both personality disorders, so they belong on Axis II.

Axis III records general medical conditions and Axis IV records psychosocial and environmental problems, so neither can hold a personality diagnosis. Axis I is for clinical syndromes such as mood and anxiety disorders.

Match List - I with List - II and indicate your answer with the help of the codes given below :

List - I (Description)	List - II (Nomenclature)
p. Number of new cases that occur over a given period of time.	1. Epidemiology
q. Study of the distribution of diseases or health related behaviours in a given population	2. Syndrome
r. Number of active cases in a population in a given period of time.	3. Incidence
s. A group or cluster of symptoms that occur together	4. Prevalence

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

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: C

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

The number of new cases in a given period is incidence. The study of how diseases or health behaviours are distributed in a population is epidemiology. The number of active cases at a given time is prevalence, and a group of symptoms that occur together is a syndrome.

The other codes mix incidence with prevalence or give epidemiology to the wrong description, so they are wrong.

Arrange the following five main steps of a behavioural self-regulation program from start to its end.

I. Collect the baseline data
II. Develop a plan of intervention to modify antecedents and/or consequences.
III. Specify the problem behaviour.
IV. Implement the program and keep measuring behaviour.
V. Identify antecedents and consequences.
Codes :

A.III, I, V, II, IV
B.I, III, IV, II, V
C.III, II, IV, I, V
D.II, III, I, V, IV

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: A

The correct order is III, I, V, II, IV.

A self-regulation programme begins by specifying the problem behaviour (III), then collecting baseline data on it (I), identifying its antecedents and consequences (V), developing a plan of intervention that alters them (II), and finally implementing the plan while continuing to measure the behaviour (IV).

The other sequences put the intervention plan or implementation before the baseline or the analysis of antecedents, so they cannot be right.

II. Production of meaningful speech
III. Phonological development
IV. Grammar/Syntax
Codes :

A.III, I, IV, II
B.I, IV, III, II
C.III, I, II, IV

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: A

The order of the key is III, I, IV, II: phonological development, semantic development, grammar or syntax, production of meaningful speech.

Sound patterns come first, since the child needs to master the sounds of the language. Meaning (semantic development) is built on those sounds, and grammar then governs how words are put together. The key places meaningful speech last as the outcome of these stages.

The options beginning with semantic development (I) put meaning before sounds and are rejected. The option III, I, II, IV differs only in swapping the last two stages, and the key does not follow that order.
