Studies have long been concentrated on the negatives which old age brings overlooking the positive side of becoming old. Hence, this research enhances the knowledge of the field called Positive Aging. The present research aimed to find the difference between elderly from different culture, living arrangements, and gender and age cohorts on level of hope. The tool used for study was The Adult Trait Hope Scale (Snyder & Harris et al., 1991). The total sample size under study was 179 elderly. The sample was classified on the basis of culture (rural and urban), living arrangements (living with families, living with old age homes & those living only with spouse), gender (males & females) and age cohorts (65-75 years & 75 above years). Results showed for the group of urban aged, the urban elderly living with spouse had a higher score on Hope. In case of gender differences, the mean showed that males were higher on levels of Hope in comparison to females. For the differences in age cohorts, Hope, showed the higher mean values for the age group of 65-75 years in comparison to elderly who are 75 years and above.Keywords

Over the past few decades, increase in life expectancy has facilitated longevity of family members but decreasing fertility rates have reduced the number of members to support each other, thereby giving birth to more complex family structures. This change in inter-personal dynamics has instigated major scientific attention towards its possible implication on various facets of intergenerational relationships and family life. Although the Theory of Intergenerational Solidarity and Theory of Ambivalence, have been by far the most widely utilized theoretical contributions, borrowed from social sciences, for conceptualization of this interpersonal exchange, however, they do not essentially cover all the underlying dynamics and therefore it is argued that still a need exists for theoretical guidance and further consolidation of the discipline, specially from the psychological and developmental perspective. With this respect, in the present article, the usefulness of the concept of generativity, from Erikson's theory of life span development, is reviewed and its contributions, limitations and prospects for understanding intergenerational relationships have been explored.Keywords

Are we living in a world where opportunities and possibilities are equal affairs for both men and women? Is the corporate world sensitive enough to let women be women? Are working women still the 'women' they were once thought to be? Does gender equality really exist or is it just a myth disguised as reality? What organisations and their leaders actually believe, think, feel, and do in the garb of providing equal rights for women in the workplace, encouraging gender diversity, revised policies and guidelines, is the reality that exists that no one wants to talk about. The present article throws light on these concerns and pushes the reader to constantly question the reality of the world we are living in and to reflect on the part they, as members of this society, are playing in it.Keywords
