The present study was a comparison between abstinent and relapsed opioid dependents on perceived social support. The sample of the study consisted of 200 males, out of which 100 were abstinent and 100 were relapsed male opioid dependents. Sample was selected randomly from the Govt. and Private Rehabilitation Centres of Punjab. Muliti-dimentional scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet et al., 1988) was administered to the study sample. Means, Standard Deviations and t-ratios were calculated to determine the differences between two groups. The findings of the study reveal that relapsed opioid dependents are lower on perceived social support as compared to abstinent opioid dependents. In order to help the drug dependents, one must work towards enhancing their social support, so that their struggle against drugs can be beneficially mediated by the facilitating role of social support.Keywords

The present study was an attempt to find out the difference between abstinent and relapsed opioid dependents on Hardiness. The sample of the study consisted of 200 male opioid dependents, out of which 100 were abstinent and 100 were relapsed opioid dependents selected randomly from the Govt and Private Rehabilitation Centres of Punjab. Hardiness Scale (Kobasa & Kahn, 1982) was used to collect the data. Means, Standard Deviations and t-ratios were calculated to determine the differences between two groups. The findings of the study revealed that there is a significant difference between the two groups on hardiness, with the abstinent group scoring higher on hardiness, in comparison to the relapsed group. The findings clearly reveal that to increase abstinence among the opioid dependants, the treatment and rehabilitation services should focus on enhancing commitment among the drug addicts.Keywords

Adolescence is a crucial stage in life and the growing child's experiences have a long lasting impact on their mental health. Parental practices vis-a-vis child's biological sex can bring out experiential differences in terms of their happiness and well-being. The present investigation aims to look for gender differences among adolescents on well-being. For the purpose of the present study, a total of 102 adolescent students studying in a government school in Mohali, have been studied on all the study variables. Out of 102 students, 5 8 are boys and 44 are girls, all in the age range of 14 to 17 years. The subjects were assessed on The Happiness Measure (Fordyce, 1988); Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R) (Scheier & Carver, 1994); Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (Goodman, 2007); General Self-Efficacy Scale (Schwarzer, 1992); and The Sterling's Children Weil-Being Scale (Liddle & Carter, 2009). The assessment was done with the goal of looking for gender differences among adolescents on well-being. Results indicated that the mean scores on happiness, hyperactivity, emotional symptoms, conduct problems, peer pressure, and positive outlook, are higher for boys. The mean scores on optimism, positive emotional state, and total well-being are higher for girls. The mean scores on prosocial behaviour and self efficacy have come out to be equal for boys and girls. Sex differences emerged only on peer pressure implying boys to be more influenced by peer pressure than girls. The paper will try to understand the trends of the findings.Keywords
