If you are revising for the Secondary exam, this set of NIOS Class 10 Psychology 222 Objective Type Questions gives you a focused, chapter-wise way to practise before the paper. We have pulled together the objective type questions that carry the most weight in the actual exam, added clear answers, and grouped everything by lesson so you can study one topic at a time instead of drowning in the whole book at once.
Every question you see below comes from our own solved question bank, prepared after going through the complete NIOS Psychology 222 textbook and several sittings of past papers. The samples on this page are a small taste of that pack, shared so you can judge the quality yourself before you ask us for the full set.
NIOS Class 10 Psychology 222 Objective Type Questions Overview for 2026
Psychology (subject code 222) is one of the more scoring optional subjects at the Secondary level, provided you practise the objective section well. A large slice of the paper is made up of short, direct questions, and that is exactly where a good question bank helps you convert reading time into marks.
This page covers all fifteen lessons prescribed in the syllabus, from Methods of Psychology right through to Environmental Stress. For each lesson our full pack carries three tested formats: multiple choice questions, fill in the blanks, and true or false statements, each with a worked answer.
To be honest and clear, this particular subject pack does not include a match the following section, because the Psychology 222 paper rarely sets that format. If you want to see how the whole subject is structured first, our NIOS Class 10 Syllabus page lays out every lesson and its exam pattern.

Sample Multiple Choice Questions from Psychology 222
Below are a few multiple choice questions taken straight from our Psychology 222 pack, drawn from different lessons so you can see the range. The full set carries several such questions for every chapter.
Q1 (Methods of Psychology). Which approach primarily investigates the neurochemical basis of emotion and memory?
A. Psychoanalytic B. Cognitive C. Humanistic D. Biological
Answer: D. Biological
Why: The biological approach examines how brain structures, neurotransmitters, and hormones regulate emotions and memory.
Q2 (Learning). In Pavlov's experiment, what was the Conditioned Stimulus (CS)?
a) Food b) Salivation c) Buzzer d) Drool
Answer: c) Buzzer
Why: The buzzer was originally neutral, but after repeated pairing with food it triggered salivation.
Q3 (Learning). The disappearance of the conditioned response when the UCS is no longer presented is called:
a) Generalization b) Discrimination c) Extinction d) Recovery
Answer: c) Extinction
Why: Extinction occurs when the CS is presented without the UCS, leading to a decline in the conditioned response.
Sample Fill in the Blanks from NIOS Class 10 Psychology
Fill in the blanks reward precise recall of terms and definitions. Here are three sample blanks from our Psychology 222 question bank, again picked from separate lessons.
Q1 (Methods of Psychology). The __________ approach investigates the role of endocrine glands and neurotransmitters in regulating behaviour.
Answer: Biological
Q2 (Childhood). The process of acquiring behaviours, values, and norms necessary for participation in society is called __________.

Q3 (Childhood). According to Piaget, the __________ stage begins around age two and is characterised by symbolic thinking.

Q1 (Methods of Psychology). The humanistic approach emphasises unconscious conflicts and irrational drives.

Answer: False
Why: Food was the Unconditioned Stimulus, while the buzzer was the Conditioned Stimulus.

How We Prepared These Psychology 222 Objective Type Questions
These are not questions scraped from random sites. Each one was written after three rounds of work: a close reading of the full NIOS Psychology 222 book, a topic-by-topic breakdown of which concepts examiners keep returning to, and a study of recurring patterns in older papers so the wording stays close to what you will actually face.
That last step matters most. When you look at several years of the NIOS Previous Year Question Paper together, clear favourites start to show up, such as Pavlov's conditioning, Piaget's stages, and the different approaches to studying behaviour. We weighted our question bank towards those high-return areas so your revision time goes where the marks are.
We also kept the answers teachable. Many questions carry a one line explanation, so you are not just memorising the correct option but understanding why it is correct. That is the difference between recognising a question you have seen and being able to answer a slightly reworded version of it in the exam hall.
Who Should Use These NIOS Psychology 222 Objective Questions
This pack suits any NIOS Secondary learner taking Psychology 222, whether you are appearing in the April or the October cycle. It is built for last-mile revision, so it works best in the weeks before your exam when you want to test recall rather than read theory again.
It is equally useful if you are short on time and need to prioritise. Because the questions are grouped by lesson and weighted towards frequently tested ideas, you can cover the highest-return topics first. Students who also want long-answer practice usually pair this with our wider NIOS Class 10 Objective Type Questions booklet for complete coverage.
If you are still deciding your optional subjects or checking what the full course demands, it helps to look at the broader NIOS Syllabus before you commit your revision plan to a single subject.
