This theoretical paper highlights how story plays a multi-faceted positive role on the developmental process of the child. Listening, reading and writing stories foster child's perception, memory, thinking, language, intelligence, feeling and emotion. Piaget and Kolhberg have used story to find out the aspects of moral development. Through stories the child also learns to communicate effectively and strengthens interpersonal relationships. By listening and reading stories about great personalities, the child involves in role-taking behavior where he/she puts him/herself into another person's (role-model) position and imagines how that person thinks, feels and behaves. Stories are also used for therapeutic purposes for all age groups. Widely accepted projective tests, like Children's Apperception Test, Thematic Apperception Test, analyse an individual's personality through stories. There are many indigenous examples, where we find the relevance of story and parables in shaping the behavior of the child and the overall development of personality. Story, as an aid to positive child development, has a wide implication for the physical, psychological, social, moral and spiritual development, not only during childhood, but also its ripple-effect could be observed during later phases of life.Keywords

As forgiveness plays a vital role in the process of building healthy relationship, this study explored the contributions of forgiveness on happiness among adolescents. A convenience sample of 200 adolescent participants from two leading educational institutions was selected. The participants completed a survey assessing the forgiveness (forgiveness of self others, and situations) and happiness. The results revealed that there were significant contributions of forgiveness and its domains on happiness of the adolescents. The role of age was also found to be significant indicating that the older adolescents were found to be higher in forgiveness compared with their younger counterparts. Since there was an impact of forgiveness on happiness, adolescents need to be taught the prosocial behavior during childhood and adolescence in order to foster positive health, both at individual as well as community levels.Keywords

The objective was to construct a self-report Adherence Scale for Cardiac Patients (ADSCAP), which measured the level of adherence to multiple aspects of self-care in heart disease. Through five phases, involving 450 patients and 100 caregivers altogether, the development and initial testing of the psychometric properties of ADSCAP were carried out. Based on the findings of exploratory factor analyses using principal component analyses with varimax rotation, ADSCAP was finalised to have 17 items with a 5-factor structure Adherence to exercise, Avoidance of health risk behaviours, Adherence to medication, Adherence to diet, and Planned adherence and emergency care. The reliability and validity analyses revealed satisfactory results. The limitations and recommendations, seeking testing of model-fit in future research, are presented.Keywords
