The aim of the present paper is to highlight the psychosocial issues related to cancer and the interventions employed to improve the quality of life of cancer patients. There is considerable evidence that the wide range of surgical, chemotherapeutic and radiation therapies can leave permanent damage to organs and physiological functioning and disfigurement, across the different cancer diagnosis (Loesher et al., 1989). Psychological interventions are shown to be beneficial in cancer patients. There is a well-established body of evidence demonstrating that psychosocial interventions, viz., pain management, social support, psychotherapy, body image counseling etc. increase wellbeing, improve adjustment and coping and reduce distress in people affected by cancer (Carlson&Bultz, 2003; Cunningham, 2000; Meyer&Mark,1995; Rehse&Pukrop, 2003). The recent reviews also conclude that psychosocial interventions reduce depression, anxiety and functional impairment (Owen et al., 2001).Keywords

The present study examined the extent to which Emotional Intelligence and Personality traits predict Life Satisfaction. Secondly, the study investigated the association between i) Emotional Intelligence&Life Satisfaction ii) Personality traits&Life Satisfaction among Adults (102) with mean age of 28. All the participants were chosen from different areas of district, Srinagar by using purposive sampling method. Emotional Intelligence and Personality traits were the predictor variables while Life Satisfaction was the criterion variable in the present study. Instruments used were SWLS (Diener et al, 1985), NEO-FFI-3 (Costa&McCrae, 1992) and MEII (Mangal&Mangal, 2004). Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis revealed that most of the factors of emotional intelligence were positively correlated with life satisfaction whereas most of the personality traits showed significant negative correlations with life satisfaction. The present study also indicated that only E2 (inter-personal awareness) factor of Emotional Intelligence emerged as the significant predictor of Life Satisfaction whereas none of the personality traits emerged as the significant predictor of Life Satisfaction among the Adults.Keywords

The present study investigates the relationship between positive emotions, adult attachment style and life satisfaction among adults. A purposive sample of 100 adults (50 males and 50 females) aged from 23-34 years was taken. Dispositional positive emotions scale DPES (Shoita, 2006), Relationship questionnaire (Bartholomew and Horowitz, 1991) and Satisfaction with life scale (Deiner, 1985) were used to assess positive emotions, adult attachment style and life satisfaction respectively. Results revealed positive and significant correlation between positive emotions and life satisfaction. Adult attachment style showed no significant correlation with life satisfaction. However positive emotions and attachment styles showed differential association. In case of gender, positive emotions showed significant difference. Also only one attachment style showed significant difference with gender. Finally life satisfaction did not show any significant correlation with gender.Keywords
