The study in hand was designed to compare the multitasking performance of males groups classified as high and low on polychronicity. This was carried out for normal and emergency conditions of multitasking. Multitasking has been identified as a behavior involving frequent switching between tasks over time (Waller, 2007). Polychronicity is understood as a preference for organizing activities over time. For the above purpose, the sample of 180 young adult females with mean age of 21 yrs was taken up from the tricity of Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula. 'Index of Polychronic Values Scale' by Bluedorn et al. (1999) and a self developed simulated task for multitasking was used for the study. t- ratios were computed to arrive at the results. Results showed that high polychronic subjects showed better performance as compared to low polychronic subjects across both levels multitasking.Keywords

Mindfulness is an inherent state of consciousness which involves consciously attending to one's moment-to-moment experience (Brown & Ryan, 2003). Mindfulness may be useful in identifying emotions and assessing them at deeper level of awareness (Goleman, 1998) leading to improvements in affective processes, stress and emotion regulation (Nielsen & Kaszniak, 2006). This study aimed at exploring the role of mindfulness in relation to emotional intelligence and stress. The initial sample comprised of 200 males and 200 females in the age range of 15 to 19 yrs. (mean age=16.51 yrs. for males and 16.42 yrs. for females) drawn from various Government Model Senior Secondary Schools of Chandigarh, India. Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale by Brown and Ryan (2003), Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test by Schutte et al. (1998) and Adolescent Stress Questionnaire by Byrne et al. (2007), were used for the study. Results highlighted interesting trends in relation to emotional intelligence and stress scores across various groups of mindfulness. Also, significant gender differences were seen on mindfulness, emotional intelligence and stress.Keywords
