In today's 24/7 society, where even a layman strives harder to cope with the difficulties of everyday life, it can be more demanding for the underprivileged sections of society. Transgenders being a sexual minority in India are ridiculed and discriminated at every aspect of societal life due to gender variant behavior and roles. Transgender persons are at high risk for developing psychological distress and mental health issues such as depression, substance abuse, suicidal tendencies, and conduct disorders. Little research is known in Kerala about transgender individuals' capacity for resilience despite hardship and long-term stress. The objectives of the current study were to assess psychological distress and resilience among transgenders and to find out whether there is any significant difference in resilience among transgenders based on socio-demographic variables such as age, education, and employment. The data was obtained using the survey method (Kessler Psychological Distress Scale by Kessler, 2003; & Resilience Scale by Wagnild & Young, 2009) involving a purposive sample of 105 transgenders from various districts of Kerala. ANOVA and t-test were used to analyze the data. The findings of the study showed that transgenders have an average level of psychological distress and resilience. There is no significant difference in psychological distress and resilience among transgenders based on employment and level of education. There is no significant difference in psychological distress whereas there is a significant difference in resilience based on the age group among transgenders. The younger adults showed higher resilience. Transgenders can be helped by the development of tailored mental health interventions and resilience-building programs.
在今天的24/7社会中，即使是外行也要更加努力地应对日常生活中的困难，这对社会中的弱势群体来说要求更高。在印度，变性人作为性少数群体，由于性别行为和角色的不同，在社会生活的各个方面都受到嘲笑和歧视。跨性别者出现心理困扰和精神健康问题(如抑郁症、药物滥用、自杀倾向和行为障碍)的风险很高。在喀拉拉邦，很少有人研究跨性别者在困难和长期压力下的恢复能力。本研究的目的是评估跨性别者的心理困扰和心理弹性，并根据年龄、教育程度和就业等社会人口统计变量，找出跨性别者的心理弹性是否存在显著差异。数据采用调查法(Kessler Psychological Distress Scale by Kessler, 2003;和弹性量表(Wagnild & Young, 2009)涉及来自喀拉拉邦不同地区的105名跨性别者的有目的样本。采用方差分析和t检验对数据进行分析。研究结果表明，跨性别者的心理困扰和恢复能力处于平均水平。跨性别者的心理困扰和心理弹性在就业和受教育程度上没有显著差异。跨性别学生在心理困扰上无显著差异，而在心理弹性上有显著差异。年轻人表现出更高的适应力。制定量身定制的心理健康干预措施和复原力建设项目可以帮助跨性别者。

Caregiving of a dependent elderly is one of the gruelling tasks that develops burden of stress among caregivers. The caregiver stress is an important and negative parameter which is harmful for the primary caregivers. In fact, the burden upon the primary caregivers ultimately changes the perception of quality of life. The overburdening of the tasks viz. household as well as caregiving and that is also without required amount of help leads to poor quality of life of the primary caregivers. The present study was conducted on a sample of 60 primary caregivers from middle socio-economic status families situated in the district of Ludhiana city of Punjab. Zarit Burden Interview developed by Zarit et al. (1980) was used to assess the caregiver stress of the primary caregivers. The quality of life of the respondents was assessed by the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref questionnaire which was developed by World Health Organization (1997). The results revealed that a major proportion of the respondents reported to possess a low level of quality of life. Statistically significant association was found between the caregiver stress and the overall quality of life as well as across different domains of quality of life of the primary caregivers.
照顾受抚养的老年人是一项艰苦的任务，会给照顾者带来压力负担。照顾者压力是一个重要的负面参数，对初级照顾者有害。事实上，主要照顾者的负担最终会改变人们对生活质量的看法。家务和照护的负担过重，而且也没有必要的帮助，导致主要照护者的生活质量较差。本研究对旁遮普邦卢迪亚纳市中等社会经济地位家庭的60名主要照顾者进行了抽样研究。采用Zarit et al.(1980)开发的Zarit Burden访谈来评估主要照顾者的照顾者压力。答复者的生活质量是由世界卫生组织编制的世界卫生组织生命质量调查表(1997年)评估的。调查结果显示，大部分受访者的生活质量较低。研究发现，照顾者压力与主要照顾者的整体生活质量以及不同领域的生活质量之间存在显著的统计学关联。

Religion is a powerful force that holds a special and pertinent place in the lives of those who adhere to it. Amyriad of studies have indicated the positive and favourable outcomes associated with religious participation and involvement. The present study was formulated to unravel the relationship of Religious Orientation with Selfefficacy within the Indian context. It was further aimed to determine the dominant religious orientation within the sample. The present study adopted a correlational, cross-sectional research design. The desired sample of 108 young adults falling in the age bracket of 21-25 years in India was obtained by employing convenience sampling. Allport and Ross's Religious Orientation Scale was employed to determine participant's approach to religion, in addition Schwarzer and Jerusalem's General Self-efficacy Scale was also used for data collection. The paired t-test indicated extrinsic religious orientation as dominant within the sample (p < .001). Moreover, no significant correlation was found between religious orientation and self-efficacy. These findings are somewhat consistent with the previous literature and further support the notion that intrinsic orientation is a healthier and mature approach to religion in comparison to extrinsic orientation. It can thus be implied that the sample might have a higher likelihood of developing any psychopathological state due to its extrinsic religious orientation if coupled with other circumstances. The findings can be further used to design interventions which focus on imbibing religion as self-reliant on its own.
宗教是一种强大的力量，在信仰它的人的生活中占有特殊而相关的地位。大量的研究表明，积极和有利的结果与宗教参与和参与有关。本研究旨在揭示印度背景下宗教取向与自我效能感的关系。进一步的目的是确定样本中占主导地位的宗教取向。本研究采用相关性横断面研究设计。采用方便抽样的方法，获得了印度21-25岁年龄段的108名年轻人的理想样本。采用Allport and Ross的宗教取向量表确定被试对宗教的态度，并采用Schwarzer and Jerusalem的一般自我效能量表收集数据。配对t检验表明，外在宗教取向在样本中占主导地位(p < 0.001)。此外，宗教倾向与自我效能感之间无显著相关。这些发现在一定程度上与之前的文献一致，并进一步支持了这样一种观点，即与外在取向相比，内在取向是一种更健康和成熟的宗教取向。因此可以暗示，如果与其他环境相结合，样本可能由于其外在的宗教取向而更有可能发展出任何精神病理状态。这些发现可以进一步用于设计干预措施，重点是将宗教作为自力更生的宗教来吸收。

Research in resilience has evolved slowly over time. The research done on resilience over the last five decades lacks the cultural sensitivity as well as how the community impacts the process of resilience (Ungar, 2004, 2005; Boyden & Mann, 2005). The study has primarily investigated the mainstream western population's individual understanding of healthy functioning. Thus, there is a gap in knowledge regarding cross-cultural validation of the findings and rigorous qualitative inquiries into the factors; that might be associated with resilience in the context of non-western communities and marginalized groups living among their 'conventional' neighbours in western settings. This review aims to analyse the current resilience research done in India and to formulate a culturally appropriate model of resilience for the population. Out of 86 relevant publications first identified through systematic search on several data bases, 8 studies were finalized and went through inductive thematic analysis of the content relevant to research questions. Following the analysis process, detailed analytical themes and final characteristics of the resilience model were established. The results show that resilience remains an amorphous concept that is affected by both individual and social influences. However, there are some clear and well-established global elements that transcend the bounds of culture. Incorporation of social and psychological inquiry is recommended for future research.

The life of each and every individual is being influenced by the adversities of varying magnitudes. One of the most disturbing adversities may come in the form of sickness. The quality of life of an individual can take a toll when he acquires the news of cancer and undergoing the turmoil of subsequent treatment. However taking a positive approach like finding a Silver lining and maintaining it can do wonder in fighting with this deadly disease. The present study is an attempt to explore a silver lining among the 100 cancer patients in Ludhiana city. To get the data from the patients a brief interview session was followed by a structured questionnaire. The findings revealed that the perception of silver lining was on the moderate level .The patients were not much worried about what would happen to them rather they were of in solace that their families are doing much for them. They had realized that fact they could come out of this illness only when they would accept and fight with it. Male patients turned out to be more close to silver lining than their counterparts. Unmarried patients were also more close to hope to come out of it rather than married patients. The reason could be that they did not have any liabilities as the married patients had. The similar findings were also depicted in the analysis of variance for number of dependents. No significant differences were found for the concept of silver lining for the demographic variables age and type of the cancer. Similar mean scores were reported in both the groups.

Sleep is an essential bodily process, yet the demands of the constantly changing world of the 21st century may cause severe impairment to an individual's ability to rest and rejuvenate. Poor sleep may have psychological effects for an individual, especially during early adulthood. The aim of the present study was to examine how sleep quality impacts the personality of young adults. Asample of 100 participants was studied, divided into two equal groups of participants with good sleep quality and poor sleep quality. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Buysse et al., 1989) and personality domains were assessed using the NEO-FFI (Costa & McCrae, 1992). The results were obtained through hypothesis testing using t values and correlations. Poor quality sleepers had higher neuroticism whereas good quality sleepers had higher extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness. A significant positive correlation was observed between PSQI scores and neuroticism whereas negative correlations were observed with extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness. The study presents implications for health and personality.
睡眠是一项必不可少的身体过程，然而21世纪不断变化的世界的需求可能会严重损害个人的休息和恢复活力的能力。睡眠不足可能会对个人产生心理影响，尤其是在成年早期。本研究的目的是研究睡眠质量如何影响年轻人的性格。研究人员以100名参与者为样本，将他们平均分为两组，一组睡眠质量好，一组睡眠质量差。使用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(Buysse et al.， 1989)评估睡眠质量，使用NEO-FFI评估人格域(Costa & mcrae, 1992)。结果通过使用t值和相关性进行假设检验得到。睡眠质量差的人有更高的神经质，而睡眠质量好的人有更高的外向性、宜人性和责任心。PSQI得分与神经质呈显著正相关，与外向性、宜人性和责任心呈显著负相关。这项研究揭示了对健康和性格的影响。

Meditation is an act of relaxation, where an individual focuses on one's mind while sitting silently for a brief period of time. It involves giving full attention to a particular object at a time. Rajyoga is a form of meditation, which is used for holistic healing. The aim of the present paper was to examine well-being among Rajyoga meditators and non-meditators. The data was collected from 60 (30 Raj Yoga meditators & 30 Non-meditators) from Jammu region in the age group of 30-60yrs. PGI General Well-being Scale (Verma & Verma, 1989) was used for data collection. The results showed significant difference between the well-being of Rajyoga meditators and non-meditators. The wellbeing of Rajyoga meditators is better than that of non-meditators. The results further reported higher well-being levels among female Rajyoga meditators than male meditators.

Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) are important to understand during a pandemic when the population is expected to be compliant with rules and regulations. An Arabic language KAP survey was used to assess residents of the largest governorate in Palestine during the COVID-19 outbreak in May 2020.

This study surveyed and compared the general well-being among three generations, that is, generation X, generation Y, and generation Z, in the Indian context. Total data were collected from 224 participants; among these, 81 participants belong to generation Z, 99 participants belong to generation Y, while 44 participants belong to generation X. The aim of the study was to find out does there exist any difference in the measure of happiness and well-being among the three generations, that is, generation X, generation Y, and generation Z. The data collection was carried out through survey method by giving out a questionnaire, through both online and offline media. The PERMA Profiler (Butler & Kern, 2016), which is a general measure, developed for adults, aiming to measure the overall well-being of an individual in terms of 5 domains: positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment, was used for the study. One way ANOVA in the IBM SPSS version 25 was run to analyse the data. The analytical study showed no statistical difference exists among the measure of happiness and well-being in the three generations. Thus it could be concluded that all three generations under study have a similar measure of happiness and well-being. Further more, according to the 'labels' discussed by Butler and Kern (2016), it has been seen that the mean score of all three generations falls in the category of 'Normal Functioning'.
