The current study is an attempt to examine whether there exists an association between body image, self-esteem and identity. The Scales employed to examine this association are the Aspects of Identity Questionnaire (AIQ-IV), Body Image Questionnaire (BIQ) and the State Self Esteem Scale (SSES). The BIQ entails answering questions related to physical attributes, focusing on features or attributes the person is conscious of or would like to change and the extent to which this interferes with their interpersonal interactions and relationships. The State Self Esteem Scale measures self-esteem along 3 dimensions namely performance self-esteem, social self-esteem and appearance self-esteem. The AIQ-IV measures different aspects of Identity such as Personal Identity, Social, Relational and Collective Identity respectively. The Scales were administered to a sample of 50 undergraduate students of R.D. National College, Bandra from the ages 18-21 years. The data gleaned was analysed using inferential statistics such as Pearson’s R and multiple correlation. The data gleaned was analysed using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation as an inferential statistic or Pearson’s r. Individualistic cultures stress on the need for competition, competence and independence. Thus, self enhancement and competition would be crucial aspects. Body image is closely linked to self enhancement and thus individualistic cultures are likely to lay a greater emphasis on physical appearance and social image. On the other hand, the Indian culture as the Asian cultures are more collectivistic in nature. Thus, the emphasis or the pressures to maintain a certain body image as in the Western culture may not be as pertinent.
目前的研究试图检验身体形象、自尊和身份之间是否存在联系。采用身份方面问卷(AIQ-IV)、身体形象问卷(BIQ)和状态自尊量表(ses)来检验这种关联。BIQ需要回答与身体属性相关的问题,关注人们意识到或想要改变的特征或属性,以及这对他们的人际交往和关系的干扰程度。国家自尊量表从三个维度来衡量自尊,即表现自尊、社会自尊和外表自尊。AIQ-IV分别测量身份的不同方面,如个人身份、社会身份、关系身份和集体身份。本量表以班德拉R.D.国立学院50名年龄在18-21岁的本科生为样本。收集到的数据使用推理统计分析,如Pearson’s R和多重相关。对收集到的数据进行分析时,使用了皮尔逊积差相关性(Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation)作为推断统计或皮尔逊r。个人主义文化强调对竞争、能力和独立的需求。因此,自我提升和竞争将是至关重要的方面。身体形象与自我提升密切相关,因此个人主义文化可能更强调外表和社会形象。另一方面,印度文化和亚洲文化一样,在本质上更具有集体主义。因此,像西方文化那样强调或压力维持某种身体形象可能不那么相关。

Background: In India, marriage was once upon a time, considered a holy religious ceremony. Unfortunately, today, the institution of marriage is crumbling due to the adverse effects of globalization. Marriage as a major life-changing unit is definitely more challenging to women than men. The challenge becomes even more stressful for working women, who keep vacillating between their dual responsibilities. This paper focuses on the influence of Marital Adjustment on the Mental Health of working women in Mumbai. Methods: 150 working women were selected by random sampling method from Mumbai across various occupations. The age range was from 26 to 35 years and the minimum educational qualification was graduation. The sample did not consider women who were divorced and also those who were widows. Results: The results obtained indicate that there is a significant relationship between Marital Adjustment and Mental Health of women. Conclusion: Findings recommended that marital therapists should consider some effective strategies to resolve marital conflicts and thereby improve the mental health of women.

Background: Dark triad refers to a set of traits that include the tendency to seek admiration and special treatment (otherwise known as Narcissism), to be callous and insensitive (Psychopathy) and to manipulate others (Machiavellianism). The purpose of this study was to study the difference in dark triad amongst individuals with different age groups and gender. Methods: Convenient sampling was used to collect the data. A total of 90 participants (44 males and 46 females) participated in the study with consent. The respondents belonged to three age groups: early adulthood (20-34), midlife (35-49) and mature adulthood (50-64). A 27-item version of The Short Dark Triad (SD3) was used for the assessment of dark triad. Results: Descriptive statistics, t-test and one way ANOVA was used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that there is no significant difference in Narcissism and Machiavellianism between males and females however there is a significant difference in Psychopathy between males and females. Also, the F value indicate that there is a significant difference in the three personality traits in reference to different age groups. Post hoc analysis indicates a significant difference in psychopathic behavior between 20-35yrs (early adulthood) and 36-49 (mid life adulthood) age groups and between 20-35yrs and 50-64yrs (mature adulthood) age groups. However there is no significant difference in psychopathic behavior between 3649yrs and 50-64yrs age group. Conclusion: Males score higher on psychological tendencies as compared to females. Secondly, psychopathic tendencies are more in participants who are in early adulthood (20-34) than people in midlife (35-49) and mature adulthood (50-64).
