Mental health is one of the determining factors of student life which plays a vital role in achieving desirable goals for better future. In higher education, mental health becomes vulnerable because of the demanding nature of academia. A doctorate is one of the highest degrees one can achieve in the field of education. In research, financial difficulty acts as a major contributory factor for the poor mental health of research students. Research needs financial support to be carried out smoothly and fruitfully. Therefore, fellowships provided by universities or other research promoting institutions act as a support system to research students, lack of which results in interruptions in progress of research work which may cause mental health issues among researchers. Therefore, the current study aims to investigate the impact of financial difficulty on mental health among research students of Punjab University Chandigarh, India. For this purpose, a sample consisting of 120 research students was randomly selected from various faculties of Punjab University Chandigarh, India. The research students were equally categorized into fellowship holder and non-fellowship holder groups. An equal number of male and female research students were included under each category (30 males & 30 female) with age ranging between 23-30 years. GHQ-12 (Goldberg & Williams, 1988); Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen & Williamson, 1988); Beck Depression Inventory (Beck, 1996); and Hamilton anxiety rating scale (Hamilton, 1959) were the tools used to assess mental health, stress, depression, and anxiety respectively.Keywords

Boredom has been defined as "a state of weariness or ennui resulting from a lack of engagement with stimuli in the environment" (Vanden-Bos, 2007). Research suggests that students bring a variety of positive and negative emotions to classroom such as pride, enjoyment, anxiety, anger and boredom (Goetz, Frenzel, Hall, & Pekrun, 2007). These emotions interplay with the students emotions to impact their attention and performance. Despite being so important, studies in this field lack in exclusively focusing on academic domains (Goetz, Ludtke, Nett, Keller, & Lipnevich, 2013). In light of this, the present study aims to investigate boredom proneness, academic boredom, and mood awareness across Arts and Commerce students. For this purpose, 120 students were randomly selected from various departments of DAV college, Chandigarh. Of the 120 students, 60 students were from Arts department and 60 were from Commerce department. The data were collected with a set of questionnaires composed of a demographic form and three research instruments:Boredom Proneness Scale (Farmer & Sundberg, 1986); Academic Boredom Scale (Acee et al., 2010); and Mood Awareness Scale (Swinkels et al., 1995). The results indicate significant differences between Commerce and Arts students for boredom proneness, academic boredom and mood labelling. Similarly, significant correlations were observed among the variables under study. Future research suggestions and implications have been discussed.Keywords

Materialism has been a topic of research in various disciplines since more than a few decades now. But its mammoth form is more haunting now a days as economies are reeling and individual dissatisfaction is on the rise. This paper attempts to investigate the relationship of materialism with impulsiveness. To this end, the data was collected from a sample of teachers (N=400) from colleges and universities in Chandigarh. The statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS. The techniques of Pearson Product Moment Correlation and student's t-test were employed. It was observed that participants' endorsement of a materialistic lifestyle correlates positively with their scores on impulsiveness. The gender differences were seen to exist on materialism trait and its components while no gender differences were found on impulsiveness and its second order factors.Keywords
