Several empirical piece of research work illustrated that predicting effect of social support on psychological wellbeing. But predicting effect of social support on psychological wellbeing is lacking in Indian perspectives. The purpose of current research work is to examine the predicting effect of social support on psychological wellbeing. Employed stratified disproportional random sampling technique 200 elderly within the age range of 60 to 70 years were selected from Chhattisgarh State. Correlational research design was employed in present research work. Psychological wellbeing was assessed by PGl general wellbeing questionnaire (Verma&Verma, 1989). Social support was assessed by self developed social support questionnaire. Predicting effect was examining by hierarchal regression analysis. Control factors (socio-demographic factors) explained 18% of total variance (R2=. 180; F (5, 194) = 100.250; p<0.01). Social support explained an additional 20% (F (1,193) = 35.121, p<0.01) of the variance. Those who had higher degree of social support (0.480, p<0.01) were reported higher levels of psychological wellbeing. There is satisfactory observed and statistical confirmation of the predicting effect of social support on psychological well being in elderly.

Abstract

The objective of the present systematic review was to examine the role of acculturation experience, cultural intelligence and social support on acculturative stress. 30 peer reviewed studies (full text) were identified (with inclusion criteria) through the J-Gate Plus database, covers the period from 1994 to 2014, using the search terms acculturation experiences, social support, cultural intelligence and acculturative stress. Six parameters are decided to assess internal validity of reviewed studies as recommend by Zhang and Goodson (2011), viz., research design, validity coefficients of criterion measure on own data, reliability coefficients of criterion measure on own data, validity and reliability coefficients of different predictor measures on own data, statistical analyses, effect size. Reviewed studies provide contradictory information regarding direct effect of social support on acculturative stress. Further, reviewed studies have insufficient external and internal validity. The information of acculturative stress under within country migrations has not yet been ascertained. This present systematic review concluded that acculturation experience, cultural intelligence and social support are insubstantial predictors of acculturative stress. The theoretical and practical issues have been discussed.

Abstract

Several studies have demonstrated direct effect of social support on acculturative stress, but moderating effect of social support on the link between acculturation experiences and acculturative stress has not yet been ascertained. The objective of the present empirical piece o f research work is to examine the moderating effect of social support on the link between acculturation experiences and acculturative stress among north Indian engineering students. 200 North Indian engineering students (Age- 18 to 24 Years) were included from Warangal districts. Correlational research design was employed. Acculturative stress was measured by 16 item acculturative stress scale (Khan & Hasan, 2017). Further, Social support was measured by 14 item social support scale (Khan & Hasan, 2017). In addition, acculturation experience was measured by duration of stay in the host culture. Moderation effect was worked out through hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Social support was significant moderator on the link between acculturation experiences and acculturative stress. It is concluded that there is sufficient empirical and statistical evidence of the moderating effect of social support on the link between acculturation experiences and acculturative stress among north Indian engineering students. The theoretical and practical issues have been discussed.
