From over a decade, positive psychology has been interested in concepts associated with positive human functioning. In this study we will focus on another emerging concept of positive psychology. Eudaimonia which is identified as the greatest human good, it is the best or greatest activity of the soul or joy which permeates and fulfils a good life. It is often translated as happiness, joy or well-being, and it also has some connotations like success, so it is possible to understand that living well also includes doing well. It is essential and independent, achieved by nothing but itself, so that it may include everything else, and even comfort, however it extends beyond it (Broadie, 1991). This was introduced by Aristotle. It is a topic for scientific enquiry. The aim of the study was to see whether eudaimonic well-being will have any impact on depression, anxiety, stress and meaning at work in male and female doctors. Participants were 60 doctors (30 males and 30 females) from Rajasthan, India, in the age range of 30-60 years, with no history of any psychiatric illness. They gave their consent to participate in the study. Eudaimonic well being was assessed using the purpose in life scale of the Ryff measures of psychological well-being (Keyes et al., 2002; Ryff and Keyes, 1995; Smith et al., 2013), depression, anxiety, and stress levels through Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales (DASS by Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995), and meaningful work through work and meaning inventory (Steger, 2012). Sample was purposive and the data were collected in individual situations. There was difference between male and female doctors with regard to eudaimonic well-being, depression, anxiety, stress and meaning at work, however only on the dimension of depression the results were significant, where male doctors had significantly more depression than that of female doctors (t = 2.64, p = .01). With regard to correlation between eudaimonic well-being, depression, anxiety and stress there was significant inverse correlation (r = -.82; r = -.72; r = -.71) respectively (p = .01). However with meaning at work there was positive correlation with eudaimomc wellbeing (r =. 52; p = .01). It can be concluded that positive eudaimomc well-being reduces mental health concerns and it has a positive influence on individuals who find their work meaningful. Also we can say that work is only one of many, and often not the most important ofthe influences onhealth and well-being. However due to the small sample size the result findings cannot be generalized.Keywords

Many research studies have shown that marriage is the central relationship for most adults and has wide range of beneficial effects for mental and physical health. We draw the judgment, after looking across many journals and disciplines, that there is persuasive longitudinal evidence for such effects specifically for men, but for women instead of marriage, it's the quality of marriage that has beneficial effects for physical and psychological health. Satisfying marriages seem to enhance both men's and women's health, but stressful marriages may have detrimental effects. Instead stressful marriages also may be less healthy for some people than being single; hence this paper examines an accumulating modern literature on the health benefits of marital relationships and also effects of marital quality on women's health.Keywords

The aim of the study was to see the relationship of environmental factors with overall subjective well being and its components. Participants were in the age range of 65-85 years. The participants who did not have a history of any psychiatric and any physical handicap were included in the study. While those who were not fluent in English or Hindi and who were widowed and unmarried were excluded from the study. The data was collected from parts of Rajasthan and Delhi, India. There was a significant difference between males and females with regard to social support and negative life events and its impact on various dimensions of subjective well being. It can be clearly concluded that the environmental influences have a very huge impact on the subjective well being of the elderly. Though the research was conducted on a very small group of the older adults, hence we cannot generalize our results; but despite of small sample size, we should not forget the relevance of these findings and its significance in our lives.Keywords

Body has been considered as the temple of the soul. It is an agent through which we personity our thoughts, intentions, desires and carry much of our actions and behavior. Lately, there has been an increased preoccupation with achieving sublime beauty and body standards, majorly among adolescents and young adults. The current review purports to investigate the role of culture internalization in mediating body image dissatisfaction. In addition, the concept of body and body image dissatisfaction have been explored trom an Indian perspective as well. The resultant picture presents culture both as a precipitator as well as perpetuator of body image dissatisfaction. Also, the concept of body has had a significant and exclusive place in ancient Indian art and literature but nevertheless certain paradoxes seem to arise with regard to body image within the Indian context as well. Future directions for research in the area of body image and its related variables have also been propounded.Keywords
