You must have received the self-learning material (SLM) by now (BPCC 131 and BPCC 134); if not then you may access the softcopy from eGyanKosh: Psychology. It is important to read SLM carefully, where the guidelines to the practical component are mentioned. This is important to develop an overview about psychological testing and experiments. Since lab work is not possible in the present pandemic crisis (COVID-19), the Discipline of Psychology has outlined different activities/tests to be completed as part of online conduction of practical. The activities/test have been given in a simple and self-explanatory manner, though they may be completed under the guidance of an academic counsellor from your allotted learner Support Centre.
Contact on 9954360742 to get a readymade BPCC 131 and BPCC 134 practical file instantly.
- Test: You will be administering the test on self, family member, or an acquaintance. A thorough understanding of the test, test history, any theory/framework that it is based upon, as well as the construct that it is assessing should be known to you. The psychological test has to be conducted under the guidance of an academic counsellor.
In the present situation, you need to inform your academic counsellor about the tests that you will be administering. The links for the tests have been provided from open education resources (the tests are primarily meant to create awareness and are meant for educational purposes only).
- Activity: In this format, an article link or a video link related to the activity will be provided to you which will be followed by the instructions to complete the task. Do not copy content verbatim from any offline or online resources. Write the content in your own words.
- There will be one/or two online sessions for the Practical component. Each session will be of two- or three-hour duration (as per the University Guidelines) where the academic counselor will explain the tests/activities mentioned below. Attendance to the online sessions is mandatory.
- You need to prepare a document (report) of approximately 02- to 04 pages that will include all the activities which will be evaluated by the academic counselor.
- The evaluation methodology and details of the Term End Examination (Viva-voce) is also mentioned in the guidelines for your reference.
- Please me
Please read the activities/ tests as outlined for each course. For any queries, please write to us at monikamisra@ignou.ac.in/smitagupta@ignou.ac.in
All the best,

BPCC 131 Foundations of Psychology*
Cattell’s 16 P.F
https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/16PF.php
The above link is related to the Personality test based on Raymond B. Cattell’s personality theory. The test is for educational purpose and to learn about personality assessment. The test will be administered first on self and then on one of the family members/ acquaintance/friends/neighbor/colleagues. Self-administration is for your practice and to get acquainted with the test. While administering on self, you need to read the instructions carefully as mentioned in the test. When you administer the test on someone else, remember first to establish rapport and communicate that the responses will be kept confidential. Instruction will be given to the participant as mentioned in the test. The scores will be interpreted as per the norms indicated against the test.
Once the test is completed, you need to prepare a report based on the test administration. The report needs to be typed in word document. The test administered needs to be enclosed in the document. Follow the format for report preparation as has been mentioned in the Handbook. You may adapt to the present context wherever it is required, but overall refer to the format as given in the Block-5 of the SLM (sequence to be followed).
Operant Conditioning
Watch the video on the link Operant conditioning – YouTube (B. F. Skinner Foundation). The video explains the process of operant conditioning. After watching the video, answer the following:
- What is operant conditioning?
- According to Skinner, how is behavior motivated?
- Identify the things that you have learned with the process of operant conditioning.
- Explain the schedule of reinforcement responsible for pathological gambling.
- What is Skinner’s view on ‘free will’?
Note: All the above tests/activities need to be reported in a file (typed in word document/ or handwritten) with Course Code, Enrolment No., name of the learner support center, and Table of Contents mentioning the page numbers. Write a separate section on ‘Reference’ if you have referred to extra reference material (both online and offline) for the activities/tests. This can be a section after each activity or you may also combine all the references and mention it at the end of the file. The references will be written in APA format (7th Ed.).
