This study is intended to shed light on broader question of which conflict resolution strategies are most effective in married life, with a special focus on the effectiveness of five conflict resolution styles (Integrative, avoidance, distributive, verbal aggression and physical aggression). Extant literature within this domain has produced mixed findings. A total of 350 married dual-earner academicians were taken as the sample for current study and purposive sampling technique was used. Results showed that there was a significant difference between men and women in terms of the conflict resolution styles, with women being more likely to use an integrative style, while men were more likely to use an avoidance, distributive, and verbal aggression conflict resolution style. There was also a significant difference between men and women in terms of the marital satisfaction, with women being more likely to report the higher levels of satisfaction. Integrative and avoidance styles were found to be positively related to marital satisfaction while distributive and verbal aggression styles were found to be negatively related. Physical aggression was not found to be a predictor of the marital satisfaction.

Social science disciplines have consistently been viewed for granted when contrasted with the physical sciences in the academia of Pakistan. The key objective of this research was to analyze the progress in the Social Science Education in terms of curriculum development, faculty increment and HEC policy Priority through content analysis. The Academic Dependency Theory was used for theoretical underpinnings. The qualitative research paradigm was used for this study. The relevant secondary data was gathered from books, articles, diaries, Bureau of statistics surveys, and other chronicled records of HEC and broken down appropriately. Applicable published and non-published information from 2003 to 2019 was chosen arbitrarily, of which approx. One hundred fifty articles were taken as sample. According to research findings, higher Education in Pakistan was designed without a solid policy and methodology. As a result, social science disciplines faced numerous challenges, including the defenseless instructional program development, a scarcity of skilled labor, dubious research frameworks, and inappropriate research projects.

Baloch resistance in Pakistan has been a political struggle and ideological movement which was meant to pressurize the successive governments of Pakistan to ensure the due rights of the inhabitants of the province. The issue of Balochistan is no doubt political in nature which could have been settled via political dialogues and negotiations, however, trust deficit and rigid attitudes from both sides have taken deep roots that never allowed them to be on a single page for larger interest of Balochistan. The paper investigates the fact that the persistence unjust policies and rigid attitudes of the successive federal governments towards Balochistan gave birth to sense of deprivation and sense of alienation among Baloch ethnic group. As a result, Baloch ethnic group has justified and linked their resistance with the matters of their ethnic and ideological survival in the country. The paper further finds that the resistance movement of Baloch is the result of the long-term unjust approaches of the successive federal governments of Pakistan. The paper aims to find out severe implications of the resistance on province-center -nexus on long-run.

This study is attempted to explore the motives of the viewers in terms of their gratification sought (GS) and obtained (GO). Further, this study also explored user satisfaction from the following programs by measuring the discrepancies between GO and GS. Sample (n=400) was selected through convenience sampling from University of Punjab and University of Central Punjab, Lahore, and Smart PLS was used to get results. Existing literature of Uses and Gratification theory is also extended by exploring the moderating role of habitual use on the user satisfaction and Continuance Intention. It is found that the exposure is not necessarily always because of a conscious effort (motive) but also because of habitual use. The results offer valuable information in reaching the conclusion of study. Producers and directors of the following programs should take into account the viewers with high habitual use and provide content rich in information, entertainment, and communication competence so that they could return to their motivationgratification equation.
本研究试图从观众寻求的满足感(GS)和获得的满足感(GO)两方面探讨观众的观看动机。此外,本研究还通过测量 GO 和 GS 之间的差异,探讨用户对以下节目的满意度。样本(n=400)从拉合尔旁遮普大学和旁遮普中央大学方便抽样选出,并使用智能 PLS 得出结果。通过探讨习惯性使用对用户满意度和持续使用意向的调节作用,还扩展了现有的使用和满足理论文献。研究发现,接触不一定总是因为有意识的努力(动机),也可能是因为习惯性使用。研究结果为得出研究结论提供了有价值的信息。以下节目的制片人和导演应考虑到习惯性使用率高的观众,为他们提供丰富的信息、娱乐和交流能力内容,使他们能够回到动机--满足--等式中来。

The current research addresses the issue of student academic performance while identifying its potential predictors. social media addiction is predicting variable and student performance is dependent variable whereas student engagement is mediating variable. Current research proposes following research hypotheses; firstly to examine the direct impact of Social Media addiction on the student academic performance and student engagement while checking the direct impact of social media addiction on the student engagement respectively. Secondly, current research examines mediating effect of student engagement in relation between social media addiction and student academic performance. Students of Govt. universities are the target population. 250 university students were selected with the help of the snowball sampling technique. Results reveal that all three hypotheses are accepted over significant outcomes of statistical procedures. In future research, other potential predictors of student academic performance like use of Facebook, use of Twitter may include in addition to target students of private universities along with students of Govt. universities and compare the results.

The prime aim of this research was to analyze the tools used for the teacher evaluation process in public and private universities of Lahore. The research was qualitative in its nature and follows an interpretive research paradigm. The researcher used the document analysis technique for the analysis of documents. The tools were collected by visiting the universities' concerned departments for analysis. All collected tools were reviewed and analyzed against the criteria set by four experts from the qualitative domain. It was identified that teacher evaluation tools of the private sector universities were more comprehensive and detailed and self-developed as compared to the public universities. The public sector universities were using only single-page tools. It was also pointed out that the tools of the public sector universities had very limited aspects of the teacher’s teaching, while private universities’ tools had more aspects and were exhaustive. This article might provide the source material for future researchers and policymakers to ponder the area of teacher evaluation too.
