1. Read the following text and say if the statement following it is true or false on the basis of what is stated
explicitly or what is implied in the text.
“Is there such thing as the perfect face? Is beauty something you can measure? Recent scientific evidence
suggests that the answer is ‘yes’. A new science, the science of attraction, has come to the conclusion that beauty
is objective and quantifiable and not, as the romantics believe, in the eye of the beholder. For more than a century
it was believed that a beautiful face was appealing because it was a collection of average features. Using a
computer system, scientists have challenged the theory. The conclusion was that the most attractive shape was
notaverage. If you look at famous film stars and supermodels, most of them have ideal features – larger than
normal eyes, higher arched eyebrows, slightly smaller noses, cheekbones are a little more prominent. Even
popular cartoon characters such as Betty Boop, Yasmin from ‘Aladdin’ and Bambi have big eyes, small turned-up
noses, bigmouths and small chins. And if these features are exaggerated, the attractiveness rating goes up even
more. Julia Roberts is a good example of this.”“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Is FALS

the representative body for psychologist and psychology in the UK. It has a central contribution to make to all
aspects of public life, in areas such as education, health, the economy, industry and social justice. By its Royal
Charter the Society is charged with national responsibility for the development, promotion and application of
psychology for the public good. The BPS’s three major aims are:- to encourage the development of psychology as
a scientific discipline and an applied
profession;- to raise standards of training and practice in the application of psychology;- to raise public awareness
of psychology and increase the influence of psychological practice in society.”“The only main purpose of the British
Psychological Society is to encourage the development of psychology as a scientific discipline and an applied profession.”
Is FALSE
4. Read the following text and say if the statement following it is true or false on the basis of what is stated
explicitly or what is implied in the text. The Psychological Society was founded on October 24 1901 at University
College London. Its aim was 'to advance scientific psychological research, and to further the co-operation of
investigators in the various branches of Psychology.' The ten founders resolved 'that only those who are
recognized teachers in some branch of psychology or who have published work of recognizable value be eligible
as members'. In 1906 the name of the society became The British Psychological Society. A register of
professional psychologists was set up in the 1930s. The Society was incorporated in 1941. The Quarterly Bulletin
of the British Psychological Society was launched in 1948. Its editor was Frederick Laws, a journalist with the
News Chronicle.“In 1901 The Psychological Society was set up by 10 originators.” TRUE
5. Read the following text and say if the statement following it is true or false on the basis of what is stated
explicitly or what is implied in the text. Charles Myers suggested that The British Psychological Society should
support sections for specialized aspects of applied psychology, noting that medical, industrial and educational
psychology groups were already moving to establish separate organizations. Following the acceptance of his
proposal that anyone merely 'interested in psychology' (not just recognized scholars or teachers) should be
allowed to join, by the end of 1920membership had increased to over 600. C. Myers was duly elected the
Society's first President. The 1919 reforms brought 'a welcome release from the genteel penury of the past'
(Lovie, 2001). As the century continued, opportunities increased for psychologists working in more areas of life,
including health, education, work and the law. The Society restructured a number of times, forming various
Divisions, Boards, committees and sub-systems to accommodate members' many interests.“Myers, the Society's
first President, advanced the idea of new sections designed and developed for particular aspects of theoretical psychology.”
TRUE
6. Read the following text and say if the statement following it is true or false on the basis of what is stated
explicitly or what is implied in the text.“Under the terms of its Royal Charter, the Society is required to ‘maintain
a code of conduct’. In 1985 the Society adopted a code of conduct prior to the introduction of the Register of
Chartered Psychologists with provision for an Investigatory Committee and Disciplinary Board to consider
complaints of professional misconduct against members of
the Society. In the light of experience dealing with several dozen allegations of misconduct these committees
recommended some amendments to the code. After extensive consultations a revised Code of Conduct was
approved by the Council in February 1993 and adopted forthwith. Statute 15 states that a Disciplinary Committee
shall be ‘guided by the Code of Conduct, but that mention or lack of mention in the Code of Conduct of a
particular act or omission shall not be taken as conclusive on any question of professional conduct’. Nevertheless,
the Code sets out certain minimum standards for conduct with which psychologists are required to comply.”The
Code includes moral principles for both the Disciplinary Committee and psychologists. TRUE
7. Read a paragraph of the Code of Conduct for Psychologists and say if the statement following it is true or false on
the basis of what is stated explicitly or what is implied in the text.“Psychologists shall not allow their professional
responsibilities or standards of practice to be diminished by considerations of religion, sex, race, age, nationality,
party politics, social standing, class, self-interest or other extraneous factors and shall refrain from practice when
their physical or psychological condition, as a result of for example alcohol, drugs, illness or personal stress, is
such that abilities or professional judgment are seriously impaired.”Religion, sex, race, age, nationality, party politics,
social standing, class, and self-interest are important factors that should be taken into consideration by psychologists in their
professional activities. FALSE

false on the basis of what is stated explicitly or what is implied in the text. Self-esteem and self-respect are two
concepts which seem very similar, but the differences between them are crucial, according to some psychologists.
While our culture is concerned with matters of self-esteem, self-respect may be considered to hold the key to
achieving the peace of mind we seek. Ellen Langer, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, believes
that evaluation gets us into trouble because while sometimes we win, we also sometimes lose. To esteem anything
is to evaluate it positively and hold it in high regard. To respect something is to accept it. Ellen Langer’s recent
research, with Judith White and Johnny Walsch at Harvard University, points to the advantages of self-respect.
Compared to those with high self-esteem who are still caught in an evaluative framework, those with self-respect
are less prone to blame, guilt, regret, lies, secrets and stress. Their conclusion: “if we gave up self-evaluation, we
could have more life before death.”People with self-esteem are inclined to blame, regret, guilt, lies, secrets and
stress. FALSE
10. Read the following text and say if the statement following it is true or false on the basis of what is stated

because while sometimes we win, we also sometimes lose. To esteem anything is to evaluate it positively and
hold it in high regard. To respect something is to accept it. The person with self-respect simply likes
herself/himself. This self-respect is not contingent on success because there are always failures to contend with.
Neither is it a result of comparing ourselves with others because there is always someone better. Ellen Langer
thinks that these are tactics usually employed to increase self-esteem. Self-respect, however, is a given. We
simply like ourselves or we don’t. With self-respect we like ourselves because of who we are and not because of
what we can or cannot do."All psychologists believe that self-esteem and self-respect are almost the same. FALSE
