The present study aims to find out the difference in level of adjustment of college students in relation to their gender and area of living. The sample consisted of 60 college students out of which 30 participants were from urban area and 30 from rural area. The data were analyzed by using t-test to obtain mean differences between college students. The result shows that there is significant difference in adjustment of males and females and also in terms of area of living i.e. urban and rural. The surroundings in which adolescents live have an important impact on the personality of an individual. These environments interact with the characteristics of adolescents to procreate contrasting levels of adjustment. Adjustment is an important tool for the survival of each and every organism.Keywords

A sample of 40 employees (20 males and 20 females) in the age group of 25-50yrs, was taken from the central university of Jammu and were administered the emotional intelligence scale by Singh and life satisfaction scale by Diener, Emmans, Larsen, and Griffen (1985).

Migration is the process of social change whereby an individual moves from one cultural setting to another for the purposes of settling down either permanently or for a prolonged period. When migration takes place, a sense of hopelessness and helplessness is developed which leads to depressive effect. If there is a discrepancy between what the migrants expect and what they get, then it will lead to dejection and it may leave the person psychologically vulnerable. In this study, the differences in the social support networks of migrant adolescents, their personality traits and their family environments are studied and are compared with non migrant adolescents. It is hypothesized that there will be significant differences between migrants and non migrants on the variables of social support, personality and family environment. A total number of 400 participants were collected for the study. There are 200 migrants and 200 non migrants in the sample. The group taken is 14-19 years. There are equal number of males and females in the sample. The migrants are taken from the schools situated in migrant camps from Kashmir. The psychological tools used are Family Environment Scale (Moos & Moos, 1986); NEO-Five Factor Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 2003); and Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (Cohen & Hoberman, 1983). t ratios are used to study the differences between both the groups of migrants and non migrants. Their differences will be analyzed and elucidated.Keywords

Tourism is the backbone of Indian economy. It represents the economic, social and cultural development of country. Both the host and guest interaction is vital in understanding the significance of the tourism industry. Tourism development needs the positive cooperation of local communities, travel agents, guides, etc. Core participation of youth will provide a proper glance at the development of tourism industry. The scope is not limited to geographical regions, flora and fauna of the area but the understanding of psychological aspects could be as important as the other measures for the growth of tourism industry. The personality and the attitude of youth would be detrimental in understanding the perspectives of youth regarding their tourism development. Personality is the important variable in shaping the behavior of individuals. The five traits of personality, i.e., extraversion, neuroticism, openness to experiences, agreeableness and conscientiousness are the domains that have a key role in understanding the realms of life. Attitude is a psychological tendency. It is the positive andnegative evaluation of the person. So, this study is an attempt to identity the relationship of personality traits with the attitude of youth towards tourism development. A sample of 60 youths was taken with equal number of males and females. They were subjected to neo five factor inventory and attitude scale. Correlation analysis will be carried out for the present study.Keywords

Psychological distress is a term that discusses undifferentiated patterns of symptoms which can vary from depression and anxiety tendencies to personality characteristics, functional disabilities and behavioral symptoms. Mostly adolescents are at a risk of feeling depressed especially if they are living in vulnerable home environments. The nature of distress can be altered by improving the family systems and social support networks. This study has been taken up for the purpose of understanding the association of a number of psychological variables with distress. 400 adolescents with equal numbers of males and females have been taken from the different schools of Jammu city. The scores were factor analyzed. Results of the study stated that 3 factors were extracted out of total 23 variables with a variance of 81.7%. The results are elaborately explained with the help of factor loadings that are obtained. The implications of the study are highlighted.Keywords
