What the BPCC-107 solved question paper June 2026 covers
BPCC-107 Social Psychology is a six-credit core course of IGNOU's BA (Honours) Psychology (BAPCH) that studies how people think about, influence and relate to one another.
The June 2026 paper tested that across eight topics: the history of the discipline, culture and enculturation, schemas, self presentation, conformity, attraction, groups and attribution. Section A leans on how we see ourselves and others; Section B moves to influence and group life.
Two things about this paper are worth knowing before you plan anything. First, it is a 50-mark, two-hour paper — half the length of the 100-mark papers most IGNOU courses set — and it prints 30 words a mark, not the 20 a mark its sociology papers print. Section 5 explains why those two figures go together and what the real constraint is. Second, the choice rule forces at least two answers from Section B, and Section B happened to hold the three rarest topics on the paper, including one that had never been set before. Section 6 works that out.
Our file answers every question in the length the paper prints: about 300 words for a full question and about 150 words for each part of a short note. That matters because the marks here are split — 3 + 7 and 5 + 5 — and an answer that ignores the split loses easy marks.
BPCC-107 Social Psychology sample answers from the June 2026 paper
Below are two complete answers from the June 2026 file — Q1 from Section A and Q5 from Section B — with the question text exactly as printed by IGNOU. We picked one from each section so you can see how we handle a history question and a concept question. The answers were written by our team; IGNOU does not release official model answers for this course.
Question 1 Section A Block 1, Unit 1 3 + 7 marks about 300 words Set in all 5 June papers — and only 2 of the 5 December papers
1. Describe the nature and historical developments of Social Psychology. 3 + 7
Social psychology is the scientific study of how people think about, influence and relate to one another. Gordon Allport described it as the attempt to understand how the thoughts, feelings and behaviour of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined or implied presence of others.
Part A: Nature of social psychology (3 marks)
- Scientific. It tests ideas through experiments, surveys, observation and field studies rather than common sense.
- The individual in a social setting. Unlike sociology, which studies groups and institutions, it focuses on how one person is shaped by others.
- Causes from both sides. It looks at personal factors such as attitudes and schemas, and situational factors such as norms and group pressure.
- Culture-aware. It now accepts that social behaviour differs across cultures.
Part B: Historical development (7 marks)
Early roots. Plato and Aristotle debated human nature and society, but the scientific study began only in the late nineteenth century. In 1898 Norman Triplett found that cyclists rode faster when racing others than when riding alone, and that children wound fishing reels faster in pairs. This is often called the first social psychology experiment.
First textbooks, 1908 to 1924. In 1908 William McDougall published An Introduction to Social Psychology, built on instincts, and Edward Ross published Social Psychology. In 1924 Floyd Allport's textbook pushed the field towards experiments on the individual.
1930s to 1950s. Muzafer Sherif studied how group norms form using the autokinetic effect, and Kurt Lewin gave field theory, B = f(P, E), and the study of group dynamics. The Second World War drew attention to propaganda, prejudice and persuasion, studied by Carl Hovland at Yale. Solomon Asch on conformity, Leon Festinger on social comparison and cognitive dissonance, and Fritz Heider on attribution followed.
1960s and 1970s. Stanley Milgram's obedience studies and Darley and Latané's bystander research widened the field to helping, aggression and attraction. In the 1970s critics questioned ethics and laboratory artificiality, which led to stricter ethical codes and more field research.
1980s to the present. The cognitive approach, social cognition, became central, along with cross-cultural, evolutionary and neuroscience approaches, and applied work in health, law and the environment.
Conclusion. Social psychology grew from philosophy into an experimental science, and today it blends the individual, the situation and culture to explain social behaviour.
The 3 + 7 split is the whole instruction here. Three marks is about 90 words and seven is about 210, so the nature of the subject gets four short bullets and the history gets the rest. The version above runs long on history because it is written for revision; in the hall, keep four of the five phases and make sure Triplett 1898 and the two 1908 textbooks are among them, since those are the dates examiners look for.
Question 5 Section B Block 4, Unit 8 10 marks about 300 words Set only once in the 9 earlier papers
5. Describe the factors that affect and resist conformity. 10
Conformity is the change in a person's attitudes or behaviour to match the norms of a group. In Solomon Asch's line-judgement studies of the 1950s, participants went along with a clearly wrong majority on roughly one-third of the critical trials. Deutsch and Gerard (1955) explained this through normative influence, the wish to be liked, and informational influence, the wish to be right.
Factors that affect conformity
- Cohesiveness. The more we like and value a group, the stronger its pull on us.
- Group size. Asch found conformity rose sharply as the majority grew to about three people; later studies suggest it can keep rising slowly in larger groups.
- Descriptive and injunctive norms. Cialdini showed that norms about what people actually do, and about what they should do, guide behaviour most when they are made salient.
- Unanimity and social support. One dissenter breaks the majority's pressure and conformity falls sharply.
- Task ambiguity. When the task is hard or unclear, informational influence grows.
- Public response and culture. People conform more when answers are public. Bond and Smith's 1996 review of Asch-type studies in 17 countries found higher conformity in collectivist cultures.
Factors that help people resist conformity
- Need for individuation. People want to be seen as distinct, so they sometimes break from the group to protect their identity.
- Need for personal control. When pressure feels like a threat to freedom, reactance (Brehm) pushes people to do the opposite.
- An ally. Having even one person who agrees with you makes dissent much easier.
- Minority influence. Moscovici showed that a consistent, confident minority can change a majority's views over time.
- Commitment and self-awareness. People who have publicly committed to a view, or who are reminded of their own values, conform less.
Conclusion. Conformity is not simple weakness. It depends on how much we value the group, how clear the situation is and whether anyone stands with us, while the needs for individuality and control keep it in check.
This question asks for two lists, so split the 300 words roughly in half — six factors that raise conformity, five that resist it, one line each. The named studies are what lift a pass into a good mark: Asch, Deutsch and Gerard, Cialdini, Bond and Smith, Brehm, Moscovici. Six names in a 300-word answer is enough; adding more costs you the explanation.
Questions answered only in the full file
These six questions are printed below exactly as they appear in the June 2026 paper. Their answers are not on this page; they are inside the full file.
2. Explain the various agents of enculturation. 10
3. Discuss the different types of schema and their impact. 10
4. Write short notes on the following in about 150 words each: 5 + 5
(a) Theories of self presentation
(b) Self presentation tactics6. Discuss the external and interpersonal factors affecting attraction. 10
7. Describe the types and components of groups. 5 + 5
8. Write short notes on the following in about 150 words each: 5 + 5
(a) Attribution of success and failure
(b) Errors in attribution
BPCC-107 Social Psychology blocks and what each one tests
BPCC-107 is taught in five blocks and 12 units, and every June 2026 question traces to one of them. The block list follows the official course page on eGyanKosh. The topic column shows what IGNOU has actually asked from each block in recent papers, not a generic outline.
| Block | Units (as listed on eGyanKosh) | Topics IGNOU has examined | June 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Block 1: Introduction to Social Psychology | 1 Introduction to Social Psychology; 2 Theories of Social Psychology | Nature, scope and history from Triplett to the cognitive era; theoretical approaches; relationship with other disciplines | Q1 (Unit 1); Unit 2 not asked |
| Block 2: Self in Social Context | 3 Self and Its Processes; 4 Self in Social Context | Self-concept and self-esteem; self presentation theories and tactics; enculturation, acculturation and self-construals across cultures | Q2, Q4 |
| Block 3: Social Cognition | 5 and 6 Social Cognition; 7 Attitude and Attitude Change | Types and impact of schema; attribution theories and errors; attitude formation, functions and theories of attitude change | Q3, Q8 (Units 5–6); Unit 7 not asked |
| Block 4: Social Influence | 8 Social Influence; 9 Aggression and Social Influence; 10 Interpersonal Attraction and Pro-Social Behaviour | Conformity and compliance strategies; theories and causes of aggression; factors affecting attraction and the five-stage model of helping | Q5 (Unit 8), Q6 (Unit 10); Unit 9 not asked |
| Block 5: Group Dynamics | 11 Group Processes; 12 Leader and Leadership | Types, components and stages of groups; group processes; leadership styles and the leader's role in conflict resolution | Q7 (Unit 11); Unit 12 not asked |
Block split 1 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 1 · every one of the five blocks fed a question, which is unusual · but only 8 of the 12 units did: Units 2, 7, 9 and 12 produced nothing
This is the most evenly spread paper we have analysed. No block was skipped, and no block supplied more than two questions. That is good news for anyone who has read the whole course and bad news for anyone hoping to drop a block, because there was nothing to drop.
The four silent units are where the gaps sit, and they are not minor topics. Unit 7 Attitude and Attitude Change — attitude formation, functions and theories of change — is one of the largest topics in any social psychology syllabus, and it fed nothing. Nor did Unit 9 on aggression, Unit 12 on leadership, or Unit 2 on the theoretical approaches. Three of those four are the second unit of their block, where the first unit was examined: Block 1 gave Unit 1 and withheld Unit 2, Block 4 gave Units 8 and 10 and withheld 9, Block 5 gave Unit 11 and withheld 12.
If you are still reading the blocks, our BPCC-107 study material condenses each one into revision notes, so you can learn the theory and then test yourself on this paper.
How the BPCC-107 exam paper is set and marked
The June 2026 paper had 8 questions worth 10 marks each, and you answered any five, taking at least two from each section.
| Part of the paper | Questions | Marks split as printed | Word length asked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Section A | Q1 to Q4 | Q1 3 + 7; Q2 10; Q3 10; Q4 5 + 5 | About 300 words; Q4 about 150 words per part |
| Section B | Q5 to Q8 | Q5 10; Q6 10; Q7 5 + 5; Q8 5 + 5 | About 300 words; Q8 about 150 words per part |
| Choice rule | Any 5 of 8 | At least 2 from each section | Equal marks for all questions |
| Totals | 5 answers written | 50 marks in 2 hours | Term-end exam carries 70 per cent of the course result |
8 questions · 10 marks each · 80 marks printed, 50 attempted · 120 minutes ÷ 5 = 24 minutes an answer · 4 questions of the 8 are split: Q1 at 3 + 7 and Q4, Q7 and Q8 at 5 + 5 · the choice rule allows only two possible splits, 3 + 2 or 2 + 3 across the sections
About the word count, because it looks inconsistent with other IGNOU papers and is not. This paper prints 300 words for a 10-mark question — 30 words a mark. IGNOU's sociology papers print 400 words for a 20-mark question, which is 20 a mark. Both are correct, and the reason is that the ratio is not what IGNOU holds steady. The clock is.
| Paper | Marks and time | Answers to write | Words per answer | Words per mark | Words per minute of exam |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BPCC-107 Social Psychology | 50 marks, 2 hours | 5 of 10 marks | About 300 | 30 | 12.5 |
| BSOC-101, BSOC-103 Sociology | 100 marks, 3 hours | 5 of 20 marks | About 400 | 20 | 11.1 |
A 10-mark question on a two-hour paper gets 24 minutes; a 20-mark question on a three-hour paper gets 36. Divide the printed word counts by those minutes and both land at 11 to 12.5 words a minute, which is about as fast as anyone writes by hand for two or three hours with thinking time included. So when a paper prints no word limit at all — as the BRL retailing papers do — the figure to derive it from is the time per answer, not a fixed words-per-mark rule. On this paper that means roughly 90 words for a 3-mark part, 150 for 5 marks, 210 for 7 marks and 300 for 10.
One practical tip on the choice rule. With four questions in each section and a minimum of two from each, your five answers can only split 3 + 2 or 2 + 3. There is no legal way to write four from one section, which is the mistake that costs a full question's marks. Decide your split in the first five minutes, before you write anything.
The pattern has stayed steady across recent sessions, so practising with an IGNOU Previous Year Question Paper set is a smart way to time yourself.
BPCC-107 topics IGNOU keeps repeating
We checked every BPCC-107 question paper we could find on IGNOU's own websites: December 2021, June 2022, December 2022, June 2023, December 2023, June 2024, December 2024, June 2025 and December 2025. No session in that run was missing — which makes this the most complete window of any course on our site. June 2026 sits outside the count, as the paper being tested against it.
| June 2026 question | Topic | Section | Earlier sessions where it was asked | Count (of 9) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 | Nature, scope and historical development | A | Jun 2022, Dec 2022, Jun 2023, Dec 2023, Jun 2024, Jun 2025 | 6 |
| Q3 | Types and impact of schema | A | Dec 2021, Dec 2022, Dec 2023, Jun 2024, Dec 2024, Jun 2025 | 6 |
| Q2 | Enculturation: agents, or versus acculturation | A | Jun 2022, Dec 2024, Jun 2025, Dec 2025 | 4 |
| Q4 | Self presentation theories or tactics | A | Jun 2022, Jun 2023, Dec 2023, Dec 2025 | 4 |
| Q7 | Types and components of groups | B | Jun 2022 (components only), Dec 2022, Jun 2024 | 3 |
| Q8(b) | Errors and biases in attribution | B | Dec 2021, Dec 2022, Jun 2024 | 3 |
| Q5 | Factors affecting and resisting conformity | B | Jun 2022 | 1 |
| Q6 | External and interpersonal factors affecting attraction | B | Jun 2024 | 1 |
| Q8(a) | Attribution of success and failure | B | Not asked in any of these 9 papers | 0 |
| — | Compliance strategies | — | Dec 2021, Dec 2023, Dec 2024, Jun 2025 | 4 — skipped in June 2026 |
| — | Attribution theories | — | Four sessions [VERIFY: which four — our source gives the count but not the sessions] | 4 — skipped in June 2026 |
Section A's four topics had counts of 6, 6, 4 and 4 · Section B's four had 3, 3, 1, 1 and one at 0 · so Section A averaged about five earlier appearances per topic and Section B about one and a half
This is the finding that matters, and it is not visible until you sort the table by section. Every Section A topic was well established: history and schema at six papers out of nine, enculturation and self presentation at four. Section B was almost entirely new ground. Conformity had been set once in nine papers. Attraction had been set once. And attribution of success and failure had never been set at all — a topic making its first appearance as a 5-mark short note.
The choice rule then turns that into a problem you could not dodge. You must answer at least two questions from Section B. Ranked by repeat history, the only two Section B questions with any real track record were Q7 on groups and Q8 on attribution — and half of Q8 was unprecedented. So a student who had revised strictly by repeat frequency walked in with three comfortable Section A answers and a forced choice between a once-asked topic, another once-asked topic, and a question half of which had never appeared. Section B was where this paper was won or lost.
The lesson for the next session is not "revise the repeats harder". It is that on a paper with a two-per-section rule, you need coverage inside each section, not just across the course. Four well-prepared Section A topics are worth only three answers.
What June 2026 left out, and what to prepare next
Across the nine readable papers the window falls as five December sessions and four June ones, which is close enough to even to be worth reading, though it tilts slightly towards December. Two session patterns are clear enough to report.
| Topic | December papers (of 5) | June papers (of 4) | In June 2026? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nature, scope and historical development | 2 | 4 | Yes — Q1 |
| Types and impact of schema | 4 | 2 | Yes — Q3 |
| Compliance strategies | 3 | 1 | No |
The history question has now been set in every June paper in the window — June 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and again in June 2026, five for five — against only two of the five December papers. Schema runs the other way, four of five December papers against two of four June ones, though it is broad enough to appear in both. Note what that means for the samples on this page: Q1 is the single most reliable June question in the course and a weaker bet for December.
So the ranked additions for December 2026 are:
- Compliance strategies (Block 4, Unit 8). Set in four of the nine papers — December 2021, December 2023, December 2024 and June 2025 — three of them December sessions, and skipped in June 2026. It sits in the same unit as the conformity question answered above, so you are extending a topic rather than starting a new one.
- Attribution theories (Block 3). Set four times in nine papers and skipped in June 2026, while the paper took the two attribution notes instead. Heider, Kelley and Weiner belong here.
- Attitude and attitude change (Block 3, Unit 7). A whole unit that fed nothing in June 2026. We cannot give it a count, because the repeat table on this page tracks only the topics June 2026 asked and attitude was not one of them — but a major unit with no question is a gap whatever its history. Check the nine papers for attitude questions before you rank this against the two above.
- Aggression (Block 4, Unit 9) and leadership (Block 5, Unit 12). Both are whole units that fed nothing, and both are the withheld second unit of a block whose first unit was examined.
- Theories of social psychology (Block 1, Unit 2). Same position — Block 1 gave Unit 1 and withheld Unit 2.
And place lower for a December attempt: the nature and history question, which is a June fixture, and the three Section B topics June 2026 has just used up.
One caveat and one strength. The caveat is that a session split measured over five papers against four is suggestive rather than conclusive. The strength is unusual: unlike most courses, no session is missing from this window — all nine papers from December 2021 to December 2025 were readable, so the counts are complete rather than sampled.
Our IGNOU Solved Guess Paper sets track these gaps course by course.
How our BPCC-107 Social Psychology answers are written and checked
Every answer is written from the IGNOU course material first, then checked against the marks split and word length printed on the June 2026 paper. The answers are drafted by the team led by Prateek Talwar, Academic Head of Unnati Educations, and reviewed by Sheetal Kirola for accuracy, clarity and exam length before the file goes to students.
The team drafts each answer from the five BPCC-107 blocks, using the researchers and studies the course itself names — Triplett, McDougall, Sherif, Lewin, Asch, Festinger, Heider, Milgram, Moscovici — with dates where a date earns a mark.
Answers follow one pattern: a definition, headed points that mirror the marks split, a named study where it adds marks, and a one-line conclusion. The two samples on this page run longer than the printed 300 words, deliberately, so you have more points than you need while revising; in the hall, write to the printed length. The notes inside each sample say what to keep if you are short of time.
If you are collecting papers for other courses in the programme, the same method runs through our BAPCH question paper files.

8 questions · counted as separately written pieces: Q1 in two parts, Q4, Q7 and Q8 in two parts each, and Q2, Q3, Q5, Q6 as single answers · 12 written pieces in the complete file, of which 3 (both parts of Q1 and the whole of Q5) are open on this page
A note on Q7, because its 5 + 5 is not the same as Q4's and Q8's. Q4 and Q8 are explicitly short-note questions and the paper asks for about 150 words on each part. Q7 is a single question in two parts — types of groups, then components — and the paper's word instruction for Section B gives 300 words for a full question. So treat Q7 as 300 words split evenly rather than as two 150-word notes, and keep the two halves clearly headed so the examiner can award each five.
Programmes that study BPCC-107 Social Psychology
BPCC-107 Social Psychology is a core course in IGNOU's BA (Honours) Psychology (BAPCH) and in the four-year undergraduate psychology programme (BAFPC). eGyanKosh places it in Semester III of the IGNOU Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Psychology programme, and IGNOU's assignment booklet for the July 2025 and January 2026 cycles names both BAPCH and BAFPC learners — so the same paper and the same answer file serve both groups.
BAFPC is the psychology version of the four-year "Major" structure IGNOU is rolling out across disciplines; the sociology equivalent is BAFSO. If your enrolment letter shows the four-year code, the course content and the question paper are identical to the three-year honours version.
Because BPCC-107 comes before applied courses that build on it, a firm grip on schemas, attribution and conformity here makes later psychology papers noticeably easier.

BPCC-107 Social Psychology FAQs
Is the BPCC-107 Social Psychology June 2026 file the real IGNOU paper?
Yes. It is built on the official June 2026 term-end paper of BPCC-107 Social Psychology, printed with the paper code C-3412. All 8 questions keep IGNOU's own wording and numbering, so you can match every answer to the paper you sat or will revise from. Our team wrote the answers; IGNOU does not publish model answers for this course.
How many answers does the full file contain, and how do I get it?
The full file answers all 8 questions, including both parts of the short-note questions 4 and 8 and both halves of Q1 and Q7 — twelve separately written pieces in all. Two answers, Q1 and Q5, are on this page; the other six come only in the file. Send a WhatsApp message to 9899436384 with the code BPCC 107 and our team will reply with the file and payment details.
Which BPCC-107 answers can I read on this page?
Two complete answers. Q1 covers the nature and historical development of social psychology, split 3 plus 7 as the paper asks. Q5 covers the factors that affect conformity and the ways people resist it. The remaining six questions, on enculturation, schema, self presentation, attraction, groups and attribution, are answered only in the full file.
What is the BPCC-107 exam pattern for June 2026?
The paper carried 50 marks for 2 hours — half the length of most IGNOU papers. It had 8 questions in two sections, and you attempted any five with at least two from each section. Every question carried 10 marks. Long answers needed about 300 words, while the short-note questions 4 and 8 asked for about 150 words on each of two parts. With four questions per section and a two-per-section minimum, your five answers can only split 3 + 2 or 2 + 3.
Why does BPCC-107 ask for 300 words for 10 marks when other IGNOU papers ask 400 for 20?
Because the ratio is not what IGNOU keeps steady — the clock is. A 10-mark question on this two-hour paper gets about 24 minutes; a 20-mark question on a three-hour paper gets 36. Divide the printed word counts by those minutes and both come to roughly 11 to 12.5 words a minute, which is about as fast as anyone writes by hand for two hours. So on this paper the lengths are about 90 words for a 3-mark part, 150 for 5 marks, 210 for 7 and 300 for 10.
Which BPCC-107 topics repeat most often in IGNOU papers?
Schema and the nature, scope and history of the subject are the strongest repeats, each set in 6 of the 9 official papers we checked from December 2021 to December 2025. Enculturation and self presentation came up four times each, and types of groups and errors in attribution three times each. No session is missing from that window, so these counts are complete rather than sampled.
Which BPCC-107 topics did June 2026 leave out?
Compliance strategies, set in four of the nine papers, and attribution theories, also set four times, were both skipped. Four whole units fed nothing: Theories of Social Psychology, Attitude and Attitude Change, Aggression, and Leader and Leadership. Attitude is the notable one, since it is a major unit in its own right. Those are the areas worth adding before your next attempt.
Why was Section B harder than Section A in June 2026?
Because of what sat in it. Section A's four topics had been set six, six, four and four times in the nine earlier papers. Section B's had been set three, three, one and one times, and attribution of success and failure had never been set at all. Since you must answer at least two questions from Section B, a student revising only the strongest repeats had three easy Section A answers and a forced gamble in Section B. The lesson is to build coverage inside each section, not only across the course.
How many credits and blocks does BPCC-107 have?
BPCC-107 is a 6-credit core course, made of 4 theory credits and 2 tutorial credits, as stated in IGNOU's assignment booklet. eGyanKosh lists 12 units in five blocks: Introduction to Social Psychology, Self in Social Context, Social Cognition, Social Influence and Group Dynamics.

Prateek Talwar, Academic Head, led the writing of the BPCC-107 answers and built the block mapping and repeat analysis on this page, including the section-by-section comparison that shows why Section B was the harder half and the words-per-minute reading of IGNOU's word limits. He reads every official paper in a series before a single answer is drafted.
