Eleven factors of OCI and six factors of GHQ were confronted by product moment method of correlation. The 17 x 17 intercorrelation matrix for 200 subjects was processed by principal component method of factor analysis. Four factors were extracted and interpreted after varimax rotation. Results of the study revealed that motivational level of organizational climate was positively related with somatic complaints of general health. However, factors support system, identity problems, warmth and organizational structure of OCI showed negative relationship with factors depression, anxiety and sleep of general health Participants who perceived their organizational climate as having lesser support system, warmth, poor organizational structure and who experienced problems of identification tended to have more health problems.Keywords

The sample consists of 144 adolescents studying in class XI and XII, taken from private schools in Haryana. 'Emotional maturity scale' (Yashvir Singh & Mahesh Bhargava 1984).was administered on the selected sample to assess emotional maturity and General health questionnaire (GHQ 60-Goldberg-1967), was used for measuring various health related dimensions of these adolescents.

Aggression is defined as an intentional injury or harm to another person and is a widely researched area. More so, because attempts at curbing aggression had been futile so far and thereby, necessitating the need to study aggression at the earliest possible stages of development as prevention is always better than cure. Identification of correlates of aggressive behaviour at an earlier age would be beneficial for preventing aggressive tendencies and maybe helpful in devising a preventive and developmental counselling program so that the impact of negative traits maybe reduced, if not eliminated. Self esteem and parenting styles have been implicated in research aimed at identifying factors associated with aggression. Self esteem is our overall self-evaluation and Child rearing styles are combination of parenting behaviours that occur over a wide range of situations, creating an enduring child rearing climate. The present study was conducted to analyze the relationship between aggression, self esteem and parenting styles. The participants comprised of 100 students belonging to the age range of 18-20 yrs, selected randomly from educational institutions in Haryana. Aggression questionnaire developed by Arnold Buss and Warren (2000) was used to assess aggression level of the sample selected. Self esteem inventory developed by Stanley Cooper smith (1989)was used to find out the level of self esteem of the subjects and Parental authority questionnaire developed by John Bun was used to assess the parenting styles from the point of view of the subjects. The data were analyzed using the Pearson's Product Moment correlation and stepwise regression analysts. The results revealed significant positive correlation between aggression and authoritarian mother (p<0.05), and a significant negative correlation with flexible father (p<0.01).Self esteem was found to have a significant negative correlation with Authoritarian father (p<0.01), and authoritarian mother (p<0.01), but a significant positive correlation with flexible father and mother, both (p<0.01). Step wise regression analysts revealed that different parenting styles were strong predictors of aggression.Keywords

The study was aimed to find out the relationship between personality and family environment on the basis of gender. The sample consisted of 200 students (100 boys and 100 girls), studying in different colleges of Kurukshetra district of Haryana. The age of the participants ranged between 17 and 21 years. The NEO- Personality Inventory and, Family Environment Scale were administered to collect data. The data were analyzed by using Pearson's Product Moment correlation and t test. The results of t test indicated significant difference in scores of neuroticism, agreeableness, active recreation orientation and organization for males and females. Females' correlation analysis indicated that neuroticism has strong negative correlations with cohesion, independence, active recreational orientation and organization and positive correlation with conflict. Extrovert personality has significant positive correlations with all the dimensions of family environment excluding expressiveness and moral religious orientation. Conscientiousness demonstrated strong positive correlations with achievement orientation, intellectual-cultural, active-recreational orientation and conflict. However, no association was found between openness and agreeableness, dimensions of personality with family environment. On the other hand male correlation analysis revealed that openness has strong positive correlation with independence, achievement orientation, intellectual and active recreational orientation. Agreeableness demonstrated positive correlation with cohesion and two strong negative correlations with conflict and control. Conscientious personality has strong positive correlation with moral religious orientation and organization. Neuroticism and extraversion were not found correlating with family environment.Keywords
