Instructions for Questions 46 to 50.
Read the following paragraph and answer the five questions which follow :
A researcher in experimental psychology hypothesized that a particular ‘Reward System’ for fast reactions would improve the reaction time. To verify this hypothesis, he selected forty subjects in the age range of 25 to 35 years from an organization. Following the standard reaction time experiment, he measured the simple reaction time without the reward system. While taking each trial in the experiment, the time-interval between the ready signal and the onset of stimulus was randomly varied between two to five seconds. In the second part of the experiment, the reward system was introduced and the simple reaction time was measured again for the same subjects. The mean reaction time before the introduction of reward system was 210 milliseconds and the mean reaction time after the introduction of reward system was 250 milliseconds. The difference between the two means was statistically significant at .01 level.

Instructions for questions 96 to 100 :
Read the following paragraph and answer the five questions which follow :
An educational psychologist wanted to develop an achievement test in physics for graduate students. After going through the usual test construction procedure, he retained 100 items; each item having five alternatives, one of them being correct. The psychologist wanted to examine the factor structure of the resulting achievement test. Using a sample of 1,000 subjects, the psychologist obtained the inter-item correlations. He obtained the initial estimates of communality and then decided to factor analyze the inter-item correlations matrix by following the common-factor model. He extracted the unrotated factors and retained the first nine factors for rotaion. The nine unrotated factors explained 67.5 percent of variance. After factor rotation, all the inter-factor correlations were found to be zero. The factor structure of the achievement test of physics was found to be
interpretable.
96. The inter-item correlations would be :
(1) Biserial correlations
(2) Kendall’s tau
(3) Phi-coefficients
(4) Point-biserial correlations
97. Read each of the following statements – Assertion (A) and Reason (R); and indicate your answer using code given below :
Assertion (A) : For the factor analysis of item scores, Common-Factor model is quite often more suitable.
Reason (R) : Item scores are quite often less reliable than the psychometrically measured trait variables.
Code :
(1) Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
(2) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
(3) (A) is true, but (R) is false.
(4) (A) is false, but (R) is true.
98. Which one of the following method of factor extraction, the psychologist would NOT use in the present study ?
(1) Principal axes method
(2) Principal components method
(3) Psychometric (alpha) factor analysis
(4) Maximum likelihood method
99. Which method/s of rotation has/have most probably been used in the present study ?
(a) Oblimin
(b) Promax
(c) Quartimax
(d) Varimax
Code :
(1) (a) only
(2) (c) only
(3) (c) and (d) only
(4) (b), (c) and (d) only
100. The second-order factor analysis of the nine rotated factors is not recommended in the present study because :
(1) There are only nine first-order factors.
(2) The interfactor correlations are zero.
(3) The factors obtained by common-factor model are not subjected to second-order factor analysis.
(4) Unrotated factors are more suitable for second-order factor analysis.
