Question-Describe dissociative disorders in general and several specific disorders of 
this kind by way of illustration. Contrast dissociative disorders with somatoform 
disorders, briefly explaining two such disorders.
Answer:   Dissociation is a psychopathology which refers to lack of association 
between two or more states of consciousness. Such lack of association is related to the 
function of individual's perception, consciousness, memory and identity as well. The 
best example is the fictional characters of 'Doctor Jackle and Mr. Hyde. Its various 
types are:
(a) Depersonalization: In this type of dissociation, the patient profoundly 
experiences a sense of detachment from self or 'not present in' his/her body. 
(b) Derealization: This is related to lack/absence of sense of reality situation (rather 
than from the 'self'). For example, the patient, being detached, may describe the 
external world as they are watching a film. 
(c) Fugue: It is a state of wandering with amnesia for the period during which the 
wandering occurred.  
(d) Dissociative amnesia: This is also called psychological/psychogenic amnesia in 
which the patient is unable to recall some important part of personal information 
usually conflicting in nature.
In addition, somnambulism, multiple personalities are also considered as dissociative 
reactions.  
Difference between somatoform and dissociative disorders: The dissociative 
disorder is different from somatoform disorder as the later is a conversion of 
psychological conflict/stress into bodily dysfunction or arrest for which the patient 
has no concern. For example, paralysis, agnosia, anosmia etc are resulted from 
somatoform disorders.
Part B-  
Answer each of the following in three to five sentences. Each answer is worth 
5 points. (300 Words)
1- With respect to aging differentiate disengagement theory and activity 
theory. 
Answer: The disengagement theory of aging asserts that older people gradually 
isolate themselves from active participation in social output for several reasons. So, 
they must be supported with all possible means in life. On the contrary, the activity 
theory argues that satisfaction of elderly people is directly proportional to their level 
of activity. Therefore, it is important for the elderly people to often opt for new roles 
in ongoing life to maintain positive sense of self.
2- In the context of operant conditioning, what is shaping?
 2 
Answer: It is a successive approximation to the desirable behaviour with contingent 
reinforcement. For example,
