The present study assessed and compared the emotional maturity of adolescents in orphanages, single parent families and intact families. The sample comprised of 300 respondents in the age group of 14-16 years, from the four selected cities of Punjab (Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Patiala, & Hoshiarpur). 100 school going adolescents were picked from the selected orphanages and 100 adolescents were selected under both single parent families and intact families from the government schools. The sample was equally distributed across both the genders (50 each). Emotional maturity of adolescents was assessed by administering Emotional Maturity Scale. The study revealed that overall, more numbers of orphans were found emotionally immature. Adolescents living with intact families were significantly more emotionally progressed, socially adjusted, independent and overall analysis also showed that they were more emotionally mature. In order to cultivate emotional maturity of adolescents, parents or care takers should try to become a good and effective listener, avoid comparisons, teach the problem solving skills and model a good behavior in front of adolescents.Keywords

Sibling relation is a combination of warmth and rivalry. It plays major role in individual development. The base for social emotional development and child's temperament is implanted in early years between caregivers and siblings. It provides foundation how children view themselves, each other and perceive world around them (Bagdi & Vacca, 2005). The present study was undertaken to assess the levels of social emotional learning and temperament among children with and without siblings, aged 12-14 years living in Ludhiana city. The total sample comprised of 220 school going children (110 single children & 110 children with siblings). Social emotional competence questionnaire by Zhou and Ee and Thorndike dimension of temperament test by Thorndike was applied. Results revealed that significantly more number of children with siblings were found at higher level in the dimension of self- awareness, self-management and overall social emotional competence whereas significantly more number of single children was found at medium level. With regard to temperament, children with siblings were found to be more sociable, irritable, tender-minded and responsible whereas single children were found to be more impulsive and active.Keywords

Adjustment to university is critical for academic success. The result of poor college adjustment is correlated with low academic performance, poor grades and failure later in life. This study was conducted to assess the academic adjustment and interpersonal support available to university students as well as the relationship between academic adjustment and interpersonal support. Total 480 university students were selected randomly from three purposively selected government universities of Punjab state, i.e., Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar (GNDU); Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana (PAU) and Punjabi University, Patiala (PUP).Academic Adjustment Scale by Baker and Sirk (1989) and Interpersonal Support Scale by Cohen et al. (1985) were used for the study. The results indicated that 2nd year university students perceived significantly better academic adjustment as well as appraisal support as compared to 1st year students and a significant positive correlation was found between academic adjustment and interpersonal support among 2nd year students.Keywords

Psychological hardiness is a protective measure against life stressors that helps to enhance the individual's capability to combat various pressures of life with confidence. It is a combination of various attitudes that encourage and motivate the individual to turn the threats of life into opportunities for personal development. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between psychological hardiness and comorbid mental health problems among rural adolescents. For this purpose, 240 rural adolescents were selected from the four government schools of the Hisar district of Haryana. A self-structured General Information Sheet, Hardiness Scale by Bartone (1989) and DASS-21 by Lovibond and Lovibond (1995) were administered to selected adolescents to collect the required data. The data analysis revealed that psychological hardiness was negatively correlated to comorbid mental health problems among adolescents which indicated that a higher level of psychological hardiness leads to fewer mental health problems and better well-being. The findings of the study support the implementation of hardiness training programs that will boost the level of psychological hardiness among adolescents to combat the hardship of life with courage and confidence.Keywords
