This study was aimed at finding out differences in terms of personality factors of internet addicted and non-addicted students. In this study both male and female Iranian and Indian students were compared on dependents variables. The main objectives of this study were "To study the differences if any, in personality of internet addicted and nonaddicted students."
The instruments used to measure the variables were: Internet Addiction Test (IAT) by Young (1998) to measure the internet addiction and NEO Five-Factor Inventory-R by Costa and McCrae (1992) for measuring the personality factors. The results indicated that: Internet addicted students were higher on neuroticism, and lower on extroversion, agreeableness, openness to experience and conscientiousness than Non-internet addicted students. Iranian students were higher on extroversion, agreeableness, and openness to experience and conscientiousness and lower on Neuroticism than Indian students. Female students were higher on neuroticism and lower on extroversion and conscientiousness than male students and there is no any difference in terms of agreeableness and openness to experience between male students and female students.

Swadhyaya refers to an attitude of the mind; it is neither a sect nor a creed,nor a tradition,and nor an institution, nor an organized religion. It is the study and understanding of one's true and inner self and paying due respect to other selves. The term Manahar refers to senior citizen or old age, age ranging from 60 and onwards. Subjective well-being refers to general well-being-positive affect, expectation-achievement congruence, confidence in coping,transcendence,family group support, social support,pimaiy group concern, inadequate mental mastery, perceived ill health, deficiency in social contacts and general well-being- negative affect.The present investigation was conducted to explore the subjective well-being found to be associated with Manahar and Non-Manahar of Swadhyaya Pariwar and Non- Swadhyaya Pariwar respectively on a total sample of 100 including both male and female between the range of 60 to 80 years by employing two-group design to measure subjective well-being. The Subjective Well-being Inventory (SUBl) by Sell, H.and Nagpal, R. (1992) was used. The mean scores on the sample of Manahar and Non-Manahar along with the factors of SUBI found to be significant at Manahar of Swadhyaya Pariwar than of Non-Manahar of Non-Swadhyaya Pariwar.Keywords

'Happiness' is very difficult to define and so also is the case about 'Well-being'. Till today there is no widely accepted definition by the psychologist about these two terms. Happiness and well-being are seems to be synonymous and parallel to each other. There are many parameters of happiness and well-being. Happiness is like a state of deep sleep at night. The way we feel happy in the sleepy mood we must feel the same state of happiness at every moments of our state of consciousness. Subjective well-being, or happiness, in everyday terms, reflects an individual's own judgment about the quality of his or her life. From subjective well-being (SWB) perspective, physical, economic, social, emotional, mental and community indicators are incomplete (Diener & Suh, 1997). Diener (1984) defined Subjective well-being (SWB) as ratings of life satisfaction and positive emotional experiences. There are two traditions of happiness, i.e., Hedonic Happiness and Eudaimonic Happiness. Both the happiness are essential to study at broader level.Keywords

This research study attempts to observe the impact of Psychological Interventions on decreasing anxiety among adolescents. In order to achieve this objective, Sinha's and Sinha's Anxiety Scale was administered on 200 undergraduate students trom colleges of Goa. The adolescents who are in need of Psychological Interventions were identified on the basis of pre-test scores determined in the scale. On the basis of the obtained data, adolescents were than divided into experimental and control groups. Psychological Intervention were provided to those identified adolescent's of experimental group, over a period of one year. Later post-test data is collected from both the groups of adolescents. Further, paired 'f-test was applied to observe the impact of Psychological Intervention on the above data. The results of anxiety scores revealed that the obtained 'f value (13.44) is very highly significant (p<0.001).

Schizophrenia, a debilitating neuropsychiatric disorder, is considered by WHO to be one amongst the foremost ten illnesses which contribute to the global burden of disease (Murray & Lopez, 1996). Antipsychotic medicines, considered to be first-line treatment of Schizophrenia, do not meaningfully improve cognitive deficits, negative symptoms and concomitant poor social adaptive functioning. Inclusion of empirically validated psychosocial interventions can enhance the quality of life and independent life skills in persons with Schizophrenia. The study aimed at evaluating efficacy of a Social Skills Training (SST) intervention of six months duration, on adaptive behavior among stabilized outpatients of chronic schizophrenia availing day care rehabilitation services. 96 stabilized outpatients with chronic schizophrenia, diagnosed as per DSM-V criteria, availing day care rehabilitation services, were allotted either to a wait list control group receiving standard care of treatment with antipsychotic medication (n=48) or experimental (active treatment) group, receiving SST in addition to standard care (n=48), through simple random sampling. This was a centre based pretest-posttest control group study. Both the groups were assessed once at the baseline and thereafter 6 months of SST intervention, comprising of 75 sessions, using Social Adaptive Functioning Evaluation (SAFE). Statistical analysis was conducted through independent samples t test on gain score (pre-intervention or baseline assessment post-intervention assessment) of the two groups. The results revealed an overall significant effect of SST program in the form of enhancing adaptive behaviour. At post intervention, the experimental group's gain scores on SAFE were found to be significantly higher (t= 2.458, p<0.05) while compared to the wait list control group. Thus, the present study highlighted efficacy of SST intervention in improving adaptive behaviour in persons with chronic schizophrenia. Therefore, in view of these favourable effects, it can be concluded that, although not routinely recommended in treatment guidelines of schizophrenia, integration of SST can improve present standard services, and can be recommended for wider implementation in rehabilitation centres in India.Keywords
