@Doc
What do you mean by Neo personality inventory? I know what 16PF is.
In the projective tests add Rorschach inkblot and incomplete blank test.

@ You have covered all the factors. They are pretty much self explanatory.

neo-personality is the personality based on big five of personality
OCEAN,openness,conscientiousness,extroversion,agre eable,neurocitism
answer is clear
answer the other 2 questions don't list theories only bold words' answer is required.ok simple

@Doc
Thanks.

I used Feldman and Zimbardo as it covers most of the syllabus for both papers. I like the language of Feldman. Some topics are left but i will restrict my self to these books.Only thing i am concerned is developmental psychology and i dont want to read a seperate book on it.

I am using Psychology and life and Feldman. Sometimes i do i just scam Morgan and King but i restrict myself to Feldman. I like his language. The only part i am concerned about is Developmental Psychology and i don't want to read a whole new book on it.

a) I will write Freud's Psychoanyltical in this one.

b)I am not sure. But will go with either go with any one of the nwo-Fredian. What do u think?

c) I think the examiner has just twisted the statement of teh question. One will write factors in this. Obviously we will have to priortize them according to importance as we will not have time to write all.

d) All factors except hereditary.

you are right
but best theory of personality????
can be anyone
you have to write 20 marks question on wild guess


long lasting effect of theory: must be psychoanalytical

__________________
Reality is something you rise above.

Actually i will write psychoanalytical for the best one and as well as the one with long lasting effects becasue thereis more to write about it and to satisfy the length of questions

if you study other books you will find that you have material of 4-5 pages for each theory
describe theory,its utilization,criticism ,present role
psychoanalytical 8 pages se be zyada jati he
waise what do u think should be the length of pages for an answer to the question of 20 marks in psychology specifically
i can't get more than 4-5 pages with my small hand writing

next topic kaunsa krna he ? you see discussion like this makes one clear how much,how and with respect to what ,write in a paper.
and also where are your gurus? looks like they are angry with us or i cannot see them reply here after result

socializtion or group psychology waley chapters kaha se kiye he ?
me ne zimbardo ,king or barron se kiya tha lekin its getting bit lengthy to revise
i want to shorten it
tell me about it
what should be left in this chapter?

Well i haven't done those topics yet. But when i looked at them i decided to will do them from feldman. The material there is enough. I will just read the group dynamics chapter from mcq point of view. That's just my approach, because a question attempted from group dynamics will fetch you less marks as compared to other topics.You are free to differ from my opinion.

BTW from where did u do the personality topic. Did you do all the theories?
Is there any topic left to be discussed in paper one?

though i have almost completed my psychology prep,yet i am confused regarding theories of motivation by lewin and freud.can any one provide me material regarding these two theories??
