Q-1 a. What is Psychology? 03
The word psychology is made up of two Greek words. Psyche and Logos. AD. Till 1590, the word psyche meant soul or spirit and the word logos meant to study. Here the word soul was taken in a very broad sense. Therefore, later the word mind was used instead of soul.

Q-2 Answer the following.
a. Describe classification of defence Mechanism in detail. 08
Defense Mechanism is a type of unconscious mental action by which the patient tries to protect himself from internal conflict, stress, sudden emotional pain or unacceptable thoughts. This mechanism is usually used by the Ego.
The main function of this mechanism is to keep the person’s mind stable and provide self-protection to make it work positively.
This is called DEFENSE MECHANISM OR MENTAL MECHANISM OR EGO DEFENSE MECHANISM.
Every person uses DEFENSE MECHANISM. Their use does not imply mental illness or psychosocial imbalance.
The mechanism used to protect a person from psychological problems is known as DEFENSE MECHANISM.
DEFENSE MECHANISM helps individuals to overcome anxiety associated with depression and conflict.
DEFENSE MECHANISM is a system of adjustment through which a person relieves or reduces the anxiety caused by uncomfortable situations that threaten self-esteem.
Ego defense mechanism operates consciously or unconsciously.
Defense mechanisms are originally classified by the American Psychiatric Association and various psychologists into three main categories:
This mechanism appears at the initial stage of personality development. It is very unstable and immature. It is mostly seen in children to mentally unstable patients.
Type :
Denial: The patient does not accept the real facts or events.
Projection: Showing one’s unacceptable feelings to others. For example, “I don’t like it” instead of “I don’t like it.”
Splitting: Seeing people or situations as either completely good or completely bad.
Acting out: Expressing feelings through harmful behavior rather than speaking them out.
This mechanism is used to deal with small, daily problems. It is used by normal people, but if used excessively, it can lead to personality disorders.
Types:
Repression: Suppressing painful feelings into the unconscious.
Displacement: Taking out anger on someone else instead of on someone else.
Rationalization: Making rational excuses for unacceptable behavior.
Reaction formation: Behaving in a way that is the opposite of what one values.
Intellectualization: Using the mind to explain away emotions.
This mechanism is more coherent, healthy, and socially acceptable. It is seen in mature patients and medically stable individuals.
Types:
Sublimation: Transforming unacceptable desires into acceptable activities (such as taking out anger in sports).
Suppression: Knowingly and intentionally suppressing painful emotions.
Altruism: Forgetting one’s own pain and serving others.
Humor: Expressing negative emotions in a light, humorous way.
Anticipation: Preparing oneself for future difficulties.
Defense mechanisms indicate the mental health of the patient. It is very important to understand its classification properly and identify the mental status of the patient based on it. Through proper identification and therapeutic intervention, the patient can be helped to develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Other defense mechanisms:
COMPENSATION:- Compensation: A person tries to cover up his WEAKNESS by directing his potential to other aspects of life.
eg:- An academically weak student can become a college champion in cricket by working hard.
DENIAL:- Refuse: Refusal to accept unacceptable ideas, behaviour & reality.
eg:- A seriously ill person refuses to accept that anything is wrong even though he is fully informed about the diagnosis and expected outcome.
DISPLACEMENT:- Displacement: Dissipating one’s inner feelings into a less threatening object.
eg:- A person may yell at his pet dog when he comes home after a bad day at work. So one’s anger is taken out on another person or thing, or on a place where it is less harmful.
INTELLECTUALIZATION:- Intellectualization: Using logical explanations to isolate the emotions of a painful event.
e.g.: After transferring to a new job, i.e. away from home, a person hides his anxiety by increasing the benefits of the job.
PROJECTION:- Projection: Blaming another person for one’s mistakes.
EG:- A person who is untruthful may satisfy himself by saying that other people also lie and are untruthful.
RATIONALIZATION:- Rationalization: To justify one’s unacceptable thoughts by giving socially acceptable reasons.
e.g.:- A person who is not able to do a job well may satisfy himself by saying that working hard at this job does not pay well.
REACTION FORMATION:- Reaction formation: A person behaves in a way that is completely opposite to his real feelings.
eg:- A jealous employee who hates his senior may show respect and affection towards him.
REGRATION:- Regression: Returning to an earlier and more comfortable level of development.
eg:- A person who has made sufficient progress in learning
REPRESSION:- Repression: Unconsciously forgetting painful thoughts, events or conflicts.
eg:- Forgetting a best friend’s birthday after a fight.
SUBLIMATION:- Sublimation: A person can redirect their unacceptable activities into socially acceptable and desirable activities.
eg:- A person with aggressive behavior can transform into competitive sports activities.
b. Write the rights of the individual in a democratic society.
In a democratic society, every person is given some fundamental and inalienable rights, with the help of which he can live an independent life and maintain his identity. Detailed information about these rights is given below:
Every patient has the right to live. Steps must be taken at both the government and private levels to ensure that he is not put in danger and that his life is valued. No person can be deprived of his life in an uncomfortable way. This right becomes more important especially in hospitals during times like anesthesia, transfusion, and organ transplantation.
A patient has the full right to express his/her thoughts, opinions and feelings, as long as it does not harm others. This right gives the patient the right to ask questions, get information and present his/her preferences about medical options.
Every patient gets the same rights without discrimination on the basis of caste, religion, caste, colour, sex or any other identity. One patient should not receive less or more treatment than another. Medical institutions also follow this right.
A patient has the right to get clear and complete information about his/her treatment, medical condition, medicines and treatment methods. Its purpose is that the patient can make his/her own informed decision. This right gives the patient the right to make informed and exact choices.
It is necessary to keep the patient’s medical information, test reports and personal history confidential. Ignoring it can affect the patient’s safety and mental state. It is not right for information to be leaked by doctors and healthcare workers.
It is the responsibility of any patient not to be subjected to physical or mental suffering on purpose. This right becomes especially important when under psychiatric or cancer care.
A patient has the right to choose his/her doctor, hospital or treatment method. This means that he/she can decide for himself/herself who to make an appointment with or consult.
All these rights aim to maintain the patient’s independence and dignity. In a democratic society, the responsibility of an individual to these rights is considered essential for a prosperous and just life at the medical and social levels.
Q-3 Answer the following (ANY TWO) 2×6 =12
a. Explain the characteristics of urban community.
Urban community means a group of people living in an urban area. This group of people lives in an area with a very high population density. Some characteristics are seen in this area which are as follows.
In the urban community, the class distribution is seen in different ways, i.e. a separate group of people living a luxurious life as well as the poor and middle class people live in different ways. There is no communication of any kind between the people of both the groups.
The people of the urban community do not have primary contact, they do not even know who lives in the area around them or in the surrounding environment.
The people of this community have a mechanical attitude, i.e. these people live in criteria like sheet machinery. Human beings i.e. humanity and its sensitivity are less seen in the people of this community.
People in urban communities have less sense of belonging towards the people, groups, communities or any organization around them.
In this community, people of different castes and cultures live together and they develop new traits and new cultures together. Their culture, occupation and ideas are very different from each other.
People in this community maintain social distance. They do not have the feeling of living together with each other.
People in urban communities work very fast and energetically during their daily life routine activities, so a very stressful and tense and insecure environment is seen around them.
Due to the fact that the people of this community live in overcrowded and polluted areas and their lifestyle is like this, they also fall prey to many diseases and ailments.
b. Write down development of attitude.
Whatever experience a person gets from his surrounding environment is important for the formation of his attitude towards that thing or situation. The following factors are very important for the formation of this attitude.
Family..
Family is a very important factor for the formation of attitude. A person spends a lot of his time in the family and gets information about any thing or person through parents and other members. Based on this information, his attitude towards that person or thing is formed. This attitude can be negative, positive or neutral.
Pierce..
In this, a person gets information by spending time with people of his same age, friends, neighbors, etc. By coming in contact with him, this information towards any thing or person helps him to develop his attitude.
Condition..
The environment around a person plays a very important role in developing his attitude. The situation that a person goes through or adjusts to, determines his positive or negative attitude towards that situation. If any condition gives a positive experience to a person, then the experience of that condition is positive for that person. If this condition gives a negative experience, then a negative attitude can also develop.
Instruction..
When any instruction or understanding is given by any person towards any person or thing, a negative or positive attitude is generated towards that person or thing. This attitude is also based on our understanding power.
Imitation..
This is very important for learning anything. When any child tries to copy anything from his parents around him and tries to behave accordingly. Which helps in developing his attitude.
Observation..
When any person observes the person or thing around him, he is influenced by any of their behavior and due to this his attitude also changes.
Apart from this, many social and economic sectors are very important for developing attitude. Neighborhood, school environment, friends, social media and other things are very important for the development of attitude.
c. List out social problems in India. Explain Dowry.
Social problems are complex and are not based on any single cause. Many factors affect social problems.
Social problems are also interconnected. To eliminate these social problems, it is necessary to understand or eliminate their basic causes.
The list of social problems is as follows.
Dowry is a social problem.
Dowry is defined as the property received by a man from his wife or her family at the time of marriage.
The bride and groom can be defined as the possessions and valuables received by them at the time of marriage.
The practice is based on the following factors.
The service and salary of the boy
The social and economic status of the girl’s father
The educational qualifications of the boy and the girl
The boy’s job and his salary
The beauty and features of the girl
The future prospects of financial security
The size and composition of the girl’s and the boy’s family
The girl’s parents continue to give money and gifts to her husband’s family not only at the time of marriage but also throughout her life
CAUSE OF DOWRY
One of the reasons for dowry is that the desire and aspiration of every parent is that their daughter should marry high and well in the family or to increase her prestige or to increase the comfort and security of the daughter.
Another reason for the existence of dowry is that dowry is given by the parents
It is difficult to change this social custom of dowry suddenly
Some people give dowry only because their parents and ancestors were associated with giving dowry
Marriage within the same caste leads to a shortage of boys who have high jobs or a good career in business.
The parents of these boys demand a large amount of money from the parents of the girls to accept their daughter as their daughter-in-law.
Dowry is given only to show their high social and economic status.
The reason for accepting dowry is that they have to give dowry to their daughters and sisters, so they look forward to their daughter’s dowry in fulfilling the responsibility of finding husbands for their daughters.
DOWRY PROHIBITION ACT 1961
This act was passed on 20 May 1961. According to this act, it is not allowed to exchange gifts exceeding ₹2,000. If a person is found to be accepting or giving dowry, he will be fined.
Violation of this act is punishable with imprisonment for six months or a fine of up to Rs. 5000 or both.
No action can be taken for violation of the act unless some complaint is made.

These rules give us an idea of what usually happens when we learn something new.
The laws of learning are as follows:
Law of Readiness:
Law of Exercise or Practice:
According to the Law of Exercise, we learn what we practice and we do not learn what we do not practice.
Law of Effect:

out of those many efforts, finally any one correct
response is seen.
(Type of Learning)
(Motor Learning)
are called motor activities
. A person learns something by bringing regularity to his life. For example
walking, driving, running, climbing
all these activities use muscles
.
(Verbal Learning)
. We can do this type of learning through speaking, using communication tools, signs, pictures, figures, sounds
etc.
(Concept Learning)
etc. are examples of this type of learning. We learn this type of learning from childhood. For example, we see a dog and understand the word dog. So we understand that dog is the name of a particular animal. This type of learning is useful for identifying something. (Discrimination Learning) – The difference between a stimulus and an appropriate response to a stimulus is known as discrimination learning. For example, the sounds of different vehicles such as buses, cars, ambulances (Learning of Principles) – The learner learns through different principles of science, grammar, etc. Using each of these, the person makes his work easier. (Problem Solving) – This is a high level of learning. Which requires
Cognitive ability to learn. Such as thinking,
Reasoning, observation, imagination etc. are very useful
. Which helps people to solve their problems.

the person who learns is a very important factor. Without the learner,
learning cannot take place. The following factors
are associated with the learner which mainly affect learning.
(Learning Material)
(Learning Method)
The method used in the learning process is very important for learning well. If this method is suitable for the learner and his interest is maintained accordingly, then learning can be done well.
Principles of Learning
Reward and Punishment :
d. Habit
Habit is a big part of our life.
Habits are one of the most influential factors of our existence, because our actions, our responses, our decisions, our life style are all governed by our Habits.
A particular activity that a person repeatedly does unconsciously is known as a habit.
Habit is a behavior that you do automatically and unconsciously without thinking.
A process that happens automatically is called a habit. For example, someone has the habit of putting their nails in their mouth, someone has the habit of getting up and taking a bath, and praying.
A habit is a repeated unconscious pattern of behavior that is achieved through repeated repetition.
A habit is an automatic routine of behavior that is repeated regularly without thinking.
A habit always needs a stimulus to start e.g. any stimulating factor.
Habit can be copied very easily
The more actions are repeated in the behavior, the stronger the Habit will become
TYPES OF HABITS
Habits are of two types Good & bad Habit
Good Habit Good or healthy habit
It is a behavior that is beneficial for a person’s physical & mental health, which is often associated with a high level of discipline and self-control.
Examples are regular exercise, a properly balanced diet, exercising, not smoking, eating healthy food, feeling better about yourself, appreciating everything more and being grateful every day, being more organized, doing yoga, facing the day with a positive attitude, etc.
Bad Habit Bad habits
Habits that are harmful to health, biting nails, smoking, borrowing money, not eating healthy food, eating fast food from outside, drinking excessive alcohol or habitual intoxication, hair pulling, gambling, drug addiction, etc.
Bad habits are easy to form but extremely difficult to break.
Good habits take longer to form. Scientists believe that it takes a person at least 3 weeks to form a good habit.
HABIT FORMATION CYCLE
The habit formation cycle can be explained with the help of the 3Rs of habit change. The 3Rs follow a step pattern while forming a new habit and breaking a bad habit.
Reminder/Resolution: A resolution is a strong decisive step taken for purposeful action. Resolution relies on the facilitator in the ability to complete tasks and reach goals.
Routine/Rehearsal: Rehearsal of a new habit helps in the formation of a habit.
Reward/Repetition: A new behavior only becomes a habit when it is repeated enough times to make it an automatic behavior.
If the reward is positive, then when the reminder occurs, the person will want to repeat it again regularly. Repeat the same action enough times and it becomes a habit.
BREAKING OF BAD HABITS
BAD HABITS keep a person away from the goals that he wants to achieve in his life.
BAD HABITS not only waste a person’s time and energy, It also changes the physical & mental health of the person.
Tension and addiction are the main factors responsible for the formation of BAD HABITS.
Instead of breaking BAD HABITS, replace BAD HABITS with a new habit that provides the same benefits.
For example, instead of quitting BAD HABITS of smoking when you are stressed, you should come up with a different way to deal with stress and when you feel the urge to smoke, you should come up with a new habit or habit that is positive and has a good effect.
Everyone has at least one bad habit. Whether it is oversharing on Facebook, eating junk food or compulsive shopping.
BAD HABITS harm a person’s happiness, health and social relationships.
For example, in the case of chronic procrastination, when a person constantly fails to arrive on time for social engagements or meetings and others are waiting for him. Eventually, it can lead to loose friends or significant others. And if he does this at work, it is likely that job will lose.
Other BAD HABITS have fatal consequences such as eating the wrong and outside food and failing to exercise, smoking and abusing drugs and alcohol, unnecessary shopping endanger financial stability and mental health; and so on. Some BAD HABITS may require professional help to change.
Understanding the basic steps of behavior change can begin the process which are described below.
A person can change what they decide. They can also change their BAD HABITS.
The more honest they are about the nature of their BAD HABITS, the more likely they are to move forward on the path to change.
They may want to start by keeping a list of their BAD HABITS such as how often they are late, overeat, smoke, drink too much alcohol, etc.
