MAHA TAIT Mock Test - 2 - MAHA TET MCQ

Behavioral assessment refers to assessing and measuring various constituents of behavior that are indicative of why a certain behavior occurs and what causes that behavior. These would include overt behaviors, feelings, and cognitions and their controlling variables that could be both from within the individual and outside of the individual. The behavioral assessment focuses on what a person does rather than on what a person has or is.

Important Points

Evaluation techniques like observation, interview, case study, and portfolio are quite useful for assessing the behavioral traits of the student. For that, tool like observation schedule, interview schedule, checklist, rating scale, and questionnaire can be used.

Interview:

• The interview is one of the oldest and most widely used methods of collecting information about persons.
• In the interview, the pulmonologist obtains information from the person being evaluated by asking relevant questions and listening to answers.
• The interviewer and respondent engage in a face-to-face dialogue to achieve a specific goal. In fact, how an interview is conducted depends on the particular objective or goal in question.

Observation:

• Observation has been defined as “the selection, provocation, recording, and encoding that set of behaviors and setting/s concerning an organism ‘in situ’ which is consistent with empirical aims”.
• Literally, Observation is a process of ‘seeing’ the things or events with the naked eye with or without the use of any device to unravel the complexity of any phenomena to satisfy the demands of an empirical question.
• Observation is a way of gathering data by watching behavior, events, or noting physical characteristics in their natural settings.
• Observations can be overt (everyone knows they are being observed) or covert (no one knows they are being observed and the observer is concealed).

Situational test:

• A situational test is a kind of compromise between a standardized test and observational methods of assessing personality.
• Personality traits are measured based on observations of ratings of what a person thinks and does in a given situation, which resembles a real situation of everyday life.
• The subject has usually no idea that he is being studied.
• The situation represented by such tests is a social situation having opportunities for interaction with other individuals and specially designed to emphasize those aspects of personality which are under study.
• The first situational test of personality was developed by the United States Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II to screen out men for military several reassignments. Situational tests are more suited to the measurement of traits like leadership, dominance, responsibility, extroversion-introversion, and the like.
• Sometimes these tests utilize directly observable units of behavior as the basis of assessment of the traits. Such situational tests are called behavioral tests because they are directly concerned with observable behavior. For instance, honesty, self-control, and cooperation are such traits, related to character.

Additional Information

The Sentence Completion Test is a well-known projective test In the sentence completion test, verbal material is Assessment of Personality used. Various incomplete sentences are given to the subject to complete them.
Some of the incomplete sentences are like the example given below:
I feel very …….,
I wish my mother….
The subject is asked to complete the sentence the way he/she desires.

Hence, we can say that the Sentence Completion Test is a well-known projective test not a test for behavioral analysis for the assessment of personality.

"Jean Piaget", a Swiss psychologist, is famous for his work on child development. He made a systematic study of cognitive development in his theory that is categorized in four stages.

Key Points

• 'Preoperational period' lasts around 2 to 6 or 7 years of age.
• In this stage, the child faces the problem of egocentrism due to which he assumes that other people feel, see, and hear exactly the same as he/she does.
• It refers to the child's inability to infer the perspective of other people or to see a situation from other's points of view.

Hence, it could be concluded that children in the pre-operational stage have difficulty in taking the perspective of another person; this is known as Egocentrism.

Additional Information

• Reversibility is the understanding that a child develops to know that things that have been changed can be returned to their original state.
• Animism makes the child imagine that toys are living beings and wants them to talk, to walk, to sit and stand, and to do as s/he says. For example, a child talking to a doll or feeding the doll.
• Constructivism as a theory is based on the idea that meaningful learning takes place when learners actively construct their own knowledge.

Jean Piaget has made a study of cognitive development. According to Piaget’s cognitive developmental theory, our thoughts and reasoning are part of adaptation. Piaget described four major stages of cognitive development.

Key Points

• The concrete operational stage lasts around 7 to 11 years. In this stage, children can classify groups and sub-groups. Children show the attainment of reversibility and seriation as a cognitive capacity.
• Reversibility is the ability by which the child becomes capable of following a series of actions and then being able to follow back or in other words ‘reverse’ these series of actions mentally.
• The notion is that something which has been changed can be returned to its original state by reversing the process that lead to change.
• Here, Lata knows that mixing of yellow and blue colour gives green colour but when asked about the colour obtained by mixing blue and yellow colour she fails to answer. So, she lacks Reversibility. She doesn't know that yellow, blue mixing and blue-yellow mixing are the same.

Thus, it is concluded that Lata thinking lacks Reversibility.

Hint

• Conservation: It refers to the idea that a quantity remains the same despite changes in appearance. If you show a child four marbles in a row, then spread them out, the preoperational child will focus on the spread, and tend to believe that there are now more marbles than before. The concrete operational child, on the other hand, will know that there are still four marbles.

Important Points

• Gautama Buddha
  • Gautama Buddha was born at Lumbini in the Sakya Kshatriya clan.
  • He was the founder of Buddhism.
  • His father was Suddhodhana, King of Kapilavastu, and his mother was Mahamaya, Princess of Kollia republic.

Children who are taller during early childhood years are also taller during adulthood, for their age. By this observation, it is shown that the principle of Development is predictable.

Important PointsThe term ‘development’ refers to qualitative changes in an individual such as a change in personality or other mental and emotional aspects. However, very often growth and development are used interchangeably. The process of development continues even after the individual has attained physical maturity (growth). The individual is continuously changing as he/she interacts with the environment.

The various principles of development are:

1. Development is predictable: Because the rate of development is constant for a child, so it is possible to predict certain development outcomes at an early age. The X-ray of the wrist will predict the approximate height of the child.
2. Development involves change: The human being is never static. From the moment of conception to the time of death, the person is undergoing changes. The major changes include changes in size and proportions, the acquisition of new mental, motor, and behavioral skills.

1. Development follows a fixed pattern/sequence: Each child may have a different rate of development. However, the development of all human beings follows a similar pattern, similar sequence or direction.
2. Development proceeds from general to specific: In all the phases of prenatal (before birth) development and post-natal (after birth) life, the child’s responses are from general to specific. General activity proceeds to a specific activity.
3. Development is correlated: All types of developments, i.e. physical, mental, social and emotional, are related to each other e.g. a child, who is physically healthy is likely to have superior sociability and emotional stability.
4. Development occurs at different rates for different parts of the body: The development of different physical and mental traits is continuous but, all parts of the body do not grow at the same rate.

Hint

• Development is the product of maturation and learning: The interaction of maturation and learning is essential for Development, and Children who are taller for their age during early childhood years are taller during adulthood. This observation is not a principle of Development, it is the product of maturation and learning.
• Rate of development remains constant: The interaction of maturation and learning is essential for Development, and Children who are taller for their age during early childhood years are taller during adulthood. This observation is not the principle of the Rate of Development that remains constant.

So, Children who are taller during early childhood years are also taller during adulthood, for their age. By this observation, it is shown that the principle of Development is predictable.

Given

B's income - A's income = 40%

Formula used

Percent of A to B = A/B x 100%

Solution

Let the income of B = 100x

Then, A's income = 60x

⇒ B's income - A's income = 40x

⇒ 40x/60x × 100

⇒ 2/3 × 100

⇒ 66.66%

B's income is 66.66% more than A's income.

Concept used:

If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 9, then the number itself is divisible by 9.
