Abstract

Most of the social, psychological and emotional problems are related to unrelieved stress. If there is stress beyond the optimal level it can hamper the functioning of the individual. Identifying unrelieved stress and being aware of its effect on our lives is not sufficient for reducing its harmful effects. Just as there are many sources of stress, there are many possibilities for its management. The present study was undertaken to find out the correlation of stress and emotional intelligence among college going girls. A sample of 300 students was taken from a college of Jaipur city. They were administered Stress scale by Puri et al. and Mangal Emotional Intelligence Inventory. The total score of emotional intelligence is negatively significantly correlated with all the factors of stress as well as overall stress score. People who are emotionally intelligent are in control of their emotions and their behavior. Hence the level of stress would be naturally less in people with high emotional intelligence.

Abstract

Research on happiness seems to be blooming in current academics. Psychology's engagement with psychopathology left no space for this concept to come to the fore. With rapid changes in the academic world, together with the shift in the focus towards more positive concepts has resulted in a renewed interest in the concept of happiness. The domain of qualitative research seeks to explore the diverse human experiences and the present study uses this domain to understand the subjective meaning of happiness in adolescent students. Using a qualitative approach, twenty adolescents were asked to share their life experiences using a semi structured interview schedule. A grounded theory analysis revealed that happiness forms a core concern for an individual where it depends not only on the cultural norm involving an individual where social relationships form an important part, but also goals and aims (s) he/she wishes to achieve in life. It exists in temporality but is impacted by the larger dimension of meaning in life which is relatively stable and covers a huge expanse of an individual's existence. Finding happiness in life involves both personal goals such as self growth and attainment of peace, and also professional goals like fulfilment of one's academic aim. Happiness is also seen as being impacted by an individual's past happenings, belief in self-worth and social responsibility. Analysis of the findings thus points to the fact that meaning of happiness varies across individuals, however, the essence remains the same for a given culture. The consideration of the emic approach not only creates sound knowledge, but also leads to a holistic understanding of human affairs.
