WHO defined as occupational stress is the response people may have when presented with work demands and pressures that are not matched to their knowledge and abilities and which challenge their ability to cope. Several studies reported that occupational stress influenced by certain psychological, organizational and demo-graphical factors in western context (Jeyaraj, 2013; Morrison, 2005; Berhem et al., 2004; Lewis, 1999). On the other hand in Indian context studies are lacking. The aim of current empirical research work is to examine that whether or not type of school, and gender work independently or interaction with each other are capable of generating variance in occupational stress in case of school teacher. Employing a (2)2 ex-post facto, non-experimental factorial design (fixed model) the two levels of type of school, i.e., residential and non-residential, the two levels of gender, viz. male and female were manipulated in the study. Employing the incidental cum random sampling technique, finally 120 teachers (60 males & 60 females) within the age range of 30 to 45 years were drawn randomly from different school run by Govt. of India at Chhattisgarh state to serve as subjects in the current research work. All the two independent variables were found to be potential enough in generating variance in occupational stress. Interaction was found significant for almost four components of occupational stress. Theoretical interpretations have been given.Keywords

The objective of the present empirical piece of research work is to examine the predicting effects of acculturation strategies on acculturative stress. Following the incidental cum random sampling technique, 200 North Indian migrated students were drawn from the different college in Bangalore city of Karnataka, to serve as participants in the present research work. The correlational research design was employed. Hierarchical multiple regression models were used to examine the predicting effects of acculturation strategies on acculturative stress. The result of the study indicated that, separation and marginalization acculturation strategies were significant predictors of acculturative stress. It is concluded that there is sufficient empirical and statistical evidence of the prediction effects of acculturation strategies viz. separation and marginalization on acculturative stress.Keywords

Cognitive deficits are the common featnre of schizophrenia and affect the whole fhnetioning of patient. The main aim of the present study is to examine the predictive effect of verbal fluency and processing speed on fhnctional disability in schizophrenia. 30 schizophrenia patients were selected as sample of the study. Processing speed was assessed by digit symbol substitution test, verbal fluency assessed by controlled oral word association test; functional disability assessed through WHO disability assessment schedule. Brief psychiatric rating scale was used to measure severity of illness. Hierarchical regression analysis used to find the relationship between functional disability and processing speed and verbal fluency. The result indicated that processing speed (-.683, p<0.01) and verbal fluency (-.559, p<0.01) age (.402, p<0.05) and education (-.502, p<0.01), duration of illness (.612, p<0.01) and severity of illness (.580, p<0.01) significantly predicted functional disability but gender showed no relationship with functional disability. Cognitive dysfunction atfects the functioning of patients with schizophrenia. This paper may help to understand the role of processing speed and verbal fluency in functioning of the patients and also help to develop intervention programs.Keywords
