The Government of India is trying to see the effect of vaccines on combating coronavirus. They have been recording the after effects of taking 1 shot of covaxin and 1 shot of
covieshield followed by the effects of the second shot and are still researching which type of vaccine might need a booster shot also. However, multiple factors might also
bring variations in results like - comorbid health conditions in people, prior immunity levels and those who have contracted the virus vs. those who have not.

Q Read the case given below and answer the following questions
Were you afraid of the dark as a child? This is one of the most common problems. Psychologists have developed a number of methods to help children overcome their
fears. Psychologists Jean Giebenhain and Stan O’Dell (1984) put some of these methods together into a parent-training manual, then tested well if the manual worked. They
located the parents of six children who were so afraid of dark that they threw tantrums at night, insisted on sleeping with their lights on, or were unable to go camping or
spend the nights with friends. The manual taught parents the procedure like relaxation training, positive self-instructions, reward for success etc. The hope was apparently
well founded. Within 2 weeks, all the children were sleeping all night with their lights at or below the goal level. And the children’s reports on a “fear thermometer”
indicated that they were not afraid. Questions:
Q. The above case reflects the _______side of psychology. (cognitive)
Q. Psychologists basically engage in two kinds of activities. (1. Develop multiple methods to overcome fear. 2. Testing the validity of the method used to design the manual)
Q What is the first guideline for doing research with people? (framing parent training manual)

Alex is a student of psychology who is doing research work on human behaviour. He finds that there are man beliefs and understanding of human behaviour that are not true.
To make it clear he conducts a study on some children. During his study Alex took two groups of students who were trained for about 20 days in solving maths problemsThe

that their failure was because they had not tried enough. After the study was over, a new set of math problems were given to the groups.What Alex found goes against
common belief. Those who had always succeeded because they were given easy problems, gave up much faster when they faced failure than those who had experience of
