In the present era of globalization, where every person is trying to meet his needs, find happiness and realize his potential, the concept of subjective well-being becomes extremely important. In India, which is a land of religious multiplicity, religion immensely influences physical, social and psychological aspects of peoples' lives. Therefore, in the present study an attempt has been made to study the impact of religiosity on subjective well-being in various groups. The sample comprised of 400 participants from different localities of Jaipur city. These participants were divided on the basis of gender (men = 200 and women = 200); and age [higher age group (50-60 yrs) = 200; and lower age group (20-30 yrs) = 200]. Further on the basis of median value on the scale of religiosity they were divided into two groups (highly religious = 237 and less religious = 163). Tools used included Subjective well-being questionnaire (Nagpal & Sell, 1985) and Attitude towards religion scale (Banerjee, 1962). The results indicated that males and females do not differ significantly with respect to religiosity and subjective wellbeing. Both the higher and lower age groups believe in the importance of religion with similar intensity but the two groups differ on subjective wellbeing. Additionally, highly religious participants differ significantly on all the dimensions of subjective well-being from their less religious counterparts. This study highlights the beneficial and protective role played by religiosity in enhancing one's subjective well-being.Keywords

Tobacco problem is a major concern of humanity that has unfortunately not been fully recognized till date. Today the problem of tobacco abuse has assumed a greater significance on account of its proliferation among youth in various socio-cultural and economic strata. This situation has been further complicated due to fast pace social transformation brought in the society by rapid industrialization, urbanization and migration. With materialization, consumerism and individualism going ascendancy, the modern youth is drifting away from his traditional ischolar_mains and is finding it difficult to cope with ever increasing social pressure, which brings in him stress and frustration. Under these conditions, they turn to activities promising relief and thus seek the solace of drugs which enables people to slip away from oppression of reality and find a refuge in a world of their own where painful feelings do not enter.The purpose of the study is to arouse the level of consciousness of clinicians and researchers to the possibility of the non genetic influence in tobacco users and to investigate the causes that are feeling of insecurity, failure, unemployment, parental attitudes, Companionship that can cause stress, anxiety and strain which might make the person prone to tobacco use. (Students above 18 years), 72 tobacco users and 72 non-tobacco users were selected from different colleges in Rajasthan state, India. They were administered the Raven's Progressive Matrices Ravens, (1988) and Academic Stress Scale, Lal, Misra and Pandey (1985). 't' test was used to find out the significant difference in intelligence and stress level between tobacco users and non-users. Intelligence remained to be a non-significant measure in differentiating between Tobacco users and Non-users. Relationship exists between academic stress and intelligence among tobacco users and non users college students. However there is a significant difference in mean scores on stress between users and non users.Keywords
