Parent adolescent attachment is considered as a significant aspect for adjustment during the stressful transitional period of adolescence. Attachments formed with parents during the childhood provide an important foundation for psychological development later in life. During adolescent years, the increased conflict arises due to number of factors like puberty, cognitive changes, identity, etc. This conflict, if is present in moderation, can serve as a positive function, but if the attachments weaken and the conflict is prolonged as well as is intense, then a number of internalizing and externalizing problems emerge within the adolescents making their adjustment difficult. Keeping in mind the relevant literature this study is an attempt to understand the relationship between perceived parental attachment and the internalizing problems such as depression and anxiety. For this purpose, a sample of 100 female and 100 male adolescents from the age group 13-15 years is taken and incidental sampling technique is applied. The psychological tools used are, inventory of parent and peer attachment (Armsden & Greenberg, 1987), The center of epidemiological studies depression scale for children (Weissman et al., 1980) and revised children's manifest anxiety scale (Reynolds & Richmond, 1978). Correlational analysis is applied to study the relationship between the various variables. The correlation coefficients suggest significant negative relationships between perceived parental attachment and internalizing variables of depression and anxiety. The implications of the study are elucidated.Keywords

Migration is the process of social change whereby an individual moves from one cultural setting to another for the purposes of settling down either permanently or for a prolonged period. When migration takes place, a sense of hopelessness and helplessness is developed which leads to depressive effect. If there is a discrepancy between what the migrants expect and what they get, then it will lead to dejection and it may leave the person psychologically vulnerable. In this study, the differences in the social support networks of migrant adolescents, their personality traits and their family environments are studied and are compared with non migrant adolescents. It is hypothesized that there will be significant differences between migrants and non migrants on the variables of social support, personality and family environment. A total number of 400 participants were collected for the study. There are 200 migrants and 200 non migrants in the sample. The group taken is 14-19 years. There are equal number of males and females in the sample. The migrants are taken from the schools situated in migrant camps from Kashmir. The psychological tools used are Family Environment Scale (Moos & Moos, 1986); NEO-Five Factor Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 2003); and Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (Cohen & Hoberman, 1983). t ratios are used to study the differences between both the groups of migrants and non migrants. Their differences will be analyzed and elucidated.Keywords

Crime and criminal behavior in society is not a simple phenomenon to understand. Crime is considered as an intentional act that violates the law of a particular society. When we talk about the differences in the way criminals interpret their social environment, we see that their social cognitions are different. Offenders draw conclusions on the basis of their personal social cognitions. Studies also indicate that the social moral values and the levels of empathy are different of criminals and the general population. Hence, this increases the offending rates in criminals. This study is taken up to understand the importance of two social cognitive variables of empathy and sociomoral reasoning and to find out whether the offenders differ from non-offenders on these two variables. A sample of 60 offenders and 60 non offenders will be taken. The psychological measures to be utilized in this study are Sociomoral Reflection Measure (Gibbs et al.,1992) and Interpersonal Reactivity Index (Davis, 1980). Statistical analysis will be applied to study differences on these two variables. Results will be elucidated on the basis of current scenario prevailing in the society and implications will be discussed.Keywords

Hostility is a complex phenomenon that involves cognitive, behavioral and affective dimensions. Studies on the relationship between temperament as well as hostility and negative effects of alcohol intake found rigid alcohol patterns. Hostility is positively correlated with negative consequences of drinking. Since an external orientation seems to be connected with the induces of maladjustment, one might expect that alcoholics and heavy drinkers will be externally oriented, however many others contradicted this study and said that alcoholics are internally oriented. In our study, two groups of alcoholics and non alcoholics have been taken. The study has been conducted on males only. The age range includes subjects of 18-27 years. The fathers and sons are studied and have been further divided into four groups where either or both the fathers and sons are alcoholics. An analysis was conducted to study differences in alcoholics and non alcoholics on the variables of hostility and locus of control. Results show that the non alcoholics are high on internal locus of control and powerful others. They are also having higher mean scores on covert hostility. Alcoholics are showing high mean scores on overt hostility Further on, four groups were analyzed on the variables with the help of ANOVA by finding out the within and between group differences. Turkey’s Post Hoc is applied to find where the differences lie. Main effects and interaction effects were summarized with the help of factorial design. Significant mean differences were found mostly between group I(alcoholic sons with alcoholic fathers) and group IV (non alcoholic sons having non alcoholic fathers) on the variables of overt and covert hostility, internal locus of control and powerful others.Keywords

Psychological distress is a term that discusses undifferentiated patterns of symptoms which can vary from depression and anxiety tendencies to personality characteristics, functional disabilities and behavioral symptoms. Mostly adolescents are at a risk of feeling depressed especially if they are living in vulnerable home environments. The nature of distress can be altered by improving the family systems and social support networks. This study has been taken up for the purpose of understanding the association of a number of psychological variables with distress. 400 adolescents with equal numbers of males and females have been taken from the different schools of Jammu city. The scores were factor analyzed. Results of the study stated that 3 factors were extracted out of total 23 variables with a variance of 81.7%. The results are elaborately explained with the help of factor loadings that are obtained. The implications of the study are highlighted.Keywords
