Executive functions are cognitive abilities that allocate for more goal-oriented and self-directed behavior. It is well established fact that these higher cognitive control abilities are associated with lower levels of negative emotion and allocate positive states. The objective of this piece of research was to examine the associations between positive psychological characteristics i.e. well-being, forgiveness and empathy with executive functions. The sample consisted of 100 post postgraduates who are taken from Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak by using incidental sampling technique. The age range of the sample varies from 20 to 30 years. The participants are administered Subjective Well-Being Inventory (SUBI), Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS), Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) and Executive Functions Index (EFI). The data were subjected to correlational analysts in order to assess the relationship between the variables. Further regression analysts was applied to identify positive psychological characteristics which predict executive functions. Results indicated that forgiveness, empathy and well-being seem associated with executive functions. Regression analysis indicated that three variables i.e. forgiveness dimensions i.e. Self and Situation and well-being total accounted for 32% of the variance in executive functions. Thus, it is evident that positive psychological attributes related to forgiveness (self & situation) and well being played a significance in executive functions.Keywords

Academic achievement represents performance outcomes that indicate the extent to which a person has accomplished specific goals that were the focus of activities in school, college, and university. The performance of a student is influenced by multitude of cognitive and non-cognitive factors. In the present article, the relation between cognitive factors (metacognition & executive functions) and academic achievement was studied. For this purpose a sample of 100 middle school students were selected. Metacognition (Meta-Cognition Awareness Inventory) and executive functions (Executive Function Index) of the students was assessed. Academic performance record (marks obtained in the preceding class) of the students was obtained from the school record. The obtained data was analysed by computing correlation and regression in order to examine the relation between the cognitive variables and academic performance and identify the significant predicators. Results indicated that a dimension of executive function, motivation, was the strongest predictor of academic performance. Two other dimensions, organization (executive functions) and information management (metacognition) also emerged as predictors.Keywords
