Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A), (C), (E), (D), (B)
Self Report Measures — (A) It assesses a person by asking her/him about herself/himself. It was Allport who suggested that the best method to assess a person is by asking her/him about herself/himself, which led to self-report measures.
Thematic Apperception Test — (C) It consists of 30 black and white picture cards and one blank card. The TAT of Morgan and Murray has 30 black and white picture cards and one blank card, each picture showing one or more people in a variety of situations.
Rosenzweig’s Picture Frustration Study — (E) It assesses how people express aggression in the face of a frustrating situation. It presents cartoon-like pictures in which one person frustrates another, and the subject tells what the frustrated person will say or do.
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory — (D) This test is found very effective in identifying varieties of psychopathology. Hathaway and McKinley developed it as a tool for psychiatric diagnosis, and it has been found very effective in identifying varieties of psychopathology.
Behavioural Analysis — (B) An observers’ report may contain data obtained from interview, observation, ratings, nomination and situational tests. Observation of behaviour is the basis of behavioural analysis, and these five are its procedures.
