An attempt was made to examine the effect of gender and academic competence on adjustment to campus of adolescents. The study adopted a 2 (academically competent adolescents versus academically less-competent adolescents)×2 (boys versus girls) factorial design. In the present study, two hundred forty adolescents (120 academically competent adolescents securing 80% or more marks and 120 academically less-competent ones securing 50% or less marks) are randomly sampled from different urban colleges of Odisha. All the subjects were first year graduate students. The participants of all the four groups were compared with respect to their adjustment to college campus. The result indicated that academically competent adolescents scored higher in different aspects of campus adjustment like academic, social, personal-emotional, attachment to campus and overall adjustment than less-competent ones. Boys show more academic and personal-emotional adjustment where as girls show more social adjustment.Keywords

In today's high pressure world, stresses and strains of modern living can become increasingly hard to bear. Stress is an everyday fact of life. It is frequently seen as a significant contributor to disease and clinical evidence is mounting for specific effects of stress on immune and cardiovascular systems. Asthma is triggered by many factors and stress is one of them. The study investigated the relationship between stress of asthmatics and non-asthmatics as well as male and female participants. The study adopted a 2(asthmatics and non-asthmatics)×2 (males and females) factorial design. Two hundred and forty participants (120 asthmatics and 120 non-asthmatics) are randomly sampled from urban areas of Odisha. Out of the 120 asthmatics, there are 60 males and 60 females. Further 60 males and 60 females not suffering from asthma or any other disease are taken. The participants of all the four groups were compared with respect to their stress and coping abilities (readjustment difficulties). The results indicated that asthmatics experienced more readjustment difficulties or perceived more coping difficulties in personal, family and finance related events compared to non-asthmatics. Males perceived more readjustment difficulties in personal and finance related events whereas females perceived more readjustment difficulties in family related matters.Keywords

This study examined the impact of obesity on self-esteem of obese and non-obese adolescent boys and girls. The study involved 2 (obese versus non-obese) x 2 (adolescent boys versus adolescent girls) factorial design. The participants of these four groups were compared with respect to their scores on the self-esteem measure. Sixty obese and sixty non-obese adolescents (aged 14-19 yrs) were purposively sampled from various educational institutions and gymnasia. For this study both overweight and obese adolescents on the basis of their BMI score as classified by WHO were taken into consideration. Analysis of data indicated that obese individuals possessed lower self-esteem as compared to non-obese individuals. Adolescent boys' level of self-esteem was higher than that of adolescent girls. Though the findings are not new and has been revealed in several western studies, the current study focuses on the Indian context of it.Keywords

The participants of these four groups were compared with respect to their scores on the Beck's Depression Inventory. Sixty obese and sixty non-obese adolescents (aged 14-19 yrs) were purposively sampled from various educational institutions and gymnasia. For this study both overweight and obese adolescents on the basis of their BMI, WHO classification of obese was followed.

Psychologists have identified personality variables as one of the most important factors related to physical illness. The period since 1950s till date, research has continued to show positive results relating illness to psychological factors and personality. Research in this area suggests that stress seems to affect some people more than it does to others, and researchers have looked for personality variables that might account for differential effects of stress. This study attempts to compare the neuroticism versus emotional stability scores of hypertensive and normotensive as well as male and female participants. The study adopted a 2 (hypertensives and normotensives) x 2 (males and females) factorial design. Two hundred and forty participants (120 chronic hypertensives and 120 normotensives) are selected from Gurgaon, Delhi. Out of 120 hypertensives, there were 60 males and 60 females. Similarly 60 healthy males and 60 healthy females not suffering from hypertension or any other disease were selected. The participants of all the four groups compared with respect to their scores on neuroticism versus emotional stability. The results indicate that hypertensives showed more score in all the dimensions of neuroticism compared to normotensives. It is also found that females have more depression and anxiety than males. They are more self-conscious and more vulnerable to stress compared to males. Males score high on anger, hostility and impulsive dimensions of the personality.Keywords

The present study followed a 2X2 factorial research design. Factor 1 refers to type of sectors (Private versus public) and Factor 2 refers to the level of executives (Middle level executives versus lower level executives). The sample consists of 240 executives from both private and public sector organizations. From the 240 participants, 120 executives were from private sectors and 120 executives were from public sectors. In each group of 120 executives, 60 were middle level executives and 60 were lower level executives. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the executives.
