The study examines self-awareness based on decision-making styles for destitute adolescent girls. The sample consisted of 16 destitute adolescent girls aged 11-19 years from a destitute home in Kerala. Self-awareness is an essential skill that enables the individual to understand ones strengths and weakness, likes and dislikes which will equip them to deal with life stressors, develop effective communication and interpersonal relations, and to deal constructively with decisions about their lives. Decision-making style is a learned, habitual pattern that an individual exhibits in a decision situation. The Self-Awareness scale (Crisp Coaching & Consultancy, 2003) was applied to measure how well they know themselves, their values, priorities, interests, fears, beliefs and hopes. The General Decision-Making Scale (Scott & Bruce, 1994) measured 5-dimensions of decision-making styles namely-rational, intuitive, spontaneous, dependent and avoidant. The t-test of significance was used. Results indicate a significant difference between the self-awareness and avoidant and intuitive decision-making style, and also between spontaneous and intuitive decision-making style.Keywords

The aim of the current investigation is to compare the physical self - concept of overweight and non overweight adolescent girls and to find if exist, a relationship of physical self-concept with weight status and levels of physical activity among overweight adolescent girls. Expost-facto research design was used for the present study. The sample consists of 50 overweight and 50 Non-overweight adolescent girls in the age range of 16-17. Body Mass Index categorized overweight adolescent girls from their non -overweight counterparts. It is hypothesized that over-weight and non- overweight adolescent girls will not differ in their physical self - concept. Richard's Physical self - concept scale (1987) was used to collect data. The scale measures seven factors of physical self concept namely body build, action, appearance, health, physical ability, strength and satisfaction. Descriptive statistics, t tests and Pearson's r were used to analyses data. Results showed that there was no significant mean difference between overweight and non-overweight adolescent girls on various dimensions of the physical self- concept scale and the relationship between physical self - concept and physical activity was found to be weak and non-significant.Keywords

It is a growing concern among educators about the low academic performance of college students and its influence on their mental health. Many university students continue to have low grades, while many manage to turn around their academic fortunes (Martin & Marsh, 2006). Programs aimed at teaching academic resilience have proven highly effective in improving academic performance. The present study aims at finding the relationship between academic performance, resilience, depression, anxiety and stress and also the predictors of academic performance and resilience, namely, depression, anxiety and stress among women college students. Expost facto research design was used for the study. The sample consisted of 446 college going women, currently pursuing their second year of under graduation in city colleges. The tools used were the Connor Davidson Resilience scale (2003), the DASS scale by Lovibond & Lovibond (1995), measuring depression, anxiety and stress and the academic performance, using the marks obtained in the continuous assessment cycle. Correlation was found using the Pearson's Product moment method. Regression analysis was done to study the predictors .Results indicates that academic performance, resilience depression, anxiety and stress were positively correlated among women college students. Regression analysis revealed that academic performance significantly predict depression, anxiety and stress women college students, while depression alone is significantly predicted by resilience.Keywords
