Question:

Pawan could not get admission in the college of his choice as he could not qualify the entrance exam. He is facing:

Options:

Conflicts

Frustration

Internal pressure

Social Pressure

Correct Answer:

Frustration

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Frustration 

  • Frustration occurs when a person is blocked from reaching a desired goal.

  • In this case, Pawan's goal was to get admission into the college of his choice.

  • Obstacle: He couldn't qualify the entrance exam.

  • This unmet goal causes frustration, a common emotional response to blocked aspirations.

Conflicts: Conflicts usually involve a disagreement or clash between people or opposing ideas. While Pawan might have internal conflicts about his future, the immediate feeling stemming from not qualifying is more directly tied to frustration.

Internal Pressure: Internal pressure often relates to self-imposed expectations or anxieties about one's performance. While Pawan might feel internal pressure to succeed, the immediate consequence of failing leads to frustration.

Social Pressure: Social pressure comes from external expectations or judgments from others. While Pawan might experience social pressure related to college admissions, his immediate emotional response to not qualifying is more about his own disappointment.
