Aging is a multidimensional change involving the physical, psychological as well as social aspects for an individual. India has earned the distinction of being a "greying nation" with about 7.7% of its population consisting of older adults. In the last few decades, however researchers have become increasingly interested in psychological well-being (PWB) of elderly persons. Spirituality has been found to be a major predictor of PWB and shapes individuals' perspectives on the world and is expressed in the way that they live life. This study examined the relationship between daily spiritual experiences and PWB among male and female elderly persons of above 65 years of age. Two hundred elderly persons were drawn randomly from various cities and old age homes situated in India. Of these, there were 100 female and 100 male. The daily spiritual experience scale (DSES), (Underwood&Teresi, 2002) and Ryff scale of PWB (Ryff, 1989) were administered on these subjects. Results showed significant positive relationship between DSES and PWB among male and female elderly persons.Keywords

The Reasons for Depression questionnaire (RFD) was originally developed by Add is and Carpenter (1999) to examine the explanations that people give for being depressed. They studied the samples of non depressed and depressed university students and other adults. They obtained an eight factor solution which was based on 48 items. Fitzgerald and Richardson (2002) evaluated the RFD data for New Zealand adolescents sample with addition of a ninth biological factor and confirmed the factor structure of original RFD. Fitzgerald and Richardson also prepared an abbreviated scale (RFD-A) using 35 items of the original 48 items with six factors which would be more appropriate for use with adolescents. The purpose of the present study was to determine the psychometric properties of RFD-A for Indian adolescents. The results of the study confirmed the appropriateness of six factors of RFD-A for Indian adolescents and found significant difference between depressed and non-depressed adolescents on different factors of the questionnaire.Keywords
