Life is always full of hurdles and very challenging and when we set a long term goal in life and go for that it becomes very boring also. In such situation grit play a significant role and work as a weapon. Grit, basically includes consistency of interest and perseverance of efforts for long term goal. In this study we have four variables (hope, self-control, self-efficacy , orientation to happiness) that relate to gritty behavior. But the objective here is that how much these variables relate and contribute in grit among adults. For this purpose, a sample of 300 participants (aged 18-30 years) was purposely selected. The scale of Grit, Hope, Self-efficacy , Self-control and Orientation to Happiness were administered and scored as per the manual. Results found that self-control emerged as the single most potent predictor of grit accounting for 18.3% of variance while self-efficacy , hope and pleasure jointly account for 13.3% of variance.Keywords
hope, self-efficacy , self-control, orientation to happiness (meaning, pleasure &engagement), grit

Hypertension is one of the most important non-communicable diseases which are associated with considerable mortality and morbidity. The higher degree of anxiety leads to poor blood pressure control which may cause cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, retinal and renal problems and ultimately worsens the quality of life. So, the present study examined the relationship of anxiety with quality of life among hypertensives. For this purpose, a total sample of 60 clinically diagnosed hypertensives were selected from the age bracket of 35-55 years. The tools used were State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for measuring anxiety levels and World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-BREF to measure the quality of life. The results show a negative and significant association of state anxiety and trait anxiety with the different domains of quality of life i.e. physical health, psychological, social relationships and environmental among hypertensives. The results suggest that degree of anxiety must be addressed in order to improve the quality of life among hypertensives.Keywords
