Abstract Food behaviors of male population are less frequently studied; however it is important to understand the food behavior pattern. This study aimed to determine food behavior of adult males belonging to different socio-economic and occupational status from Western belt of coastal Karnataka in South India. Information regarding factors contributing to decisionmaking about food procurement in the family, eating outside and other food related habits was obtained through pretested questionnaires. Food purchase behaviors were distinctly different in the two groups, professionals (PS) prioritized likes/dislikes (62.6%) followed by nutritional requirements (24%) while the daily wagers (DW) considered cost of food followed by likes/dislikes. 32% of DW mentioned eat the food available and 29.3% ate what was liked. On the other hand, 50% PS ate according to their liking. Boiled rice was the staple food. 26.6 and 64.0% of PS consumed pulses daily and weekly while majority (77.3%) of DW consumed weekly. Fruits were consumed more by PS. Sea foods and eggs were consumed frequently by PS. Among the beverages, tea and coffee was used by 94% PS while DW had Kashaya (56%) Eating outside was more frequent among PS (56%). Alcohol intake (33%) and smoking (46.6%) were significantly high among DW. Education, income and lifestyle patterns were major determining factors. Decision making for food procurement and distribution was associated with likes and dislikes and the cost.

Abstract This research intends to report the individual autonomy of Muslim working women in government offices in Mysore and Ahvaz cities and discuss the effective factors in increasing the individual autonomy of Muslim working women in their families. The methodology which was used in this comparative study relied on interviewing and questionnaire as the primary data gathering methods. Total sample comprised 300 Muslim women working in the government sectors, 150 in Mysore (India) and 150 in Ahvaz (Iran). Results revealed that although individual autonomy of Muslim working women is low, a change of attitude can be observed among Muslim men towards women and their role in the individual autonomy. Moreover, women are not totally ignored and are consulted. Men’s education seems to play a major role in the involvement of Muslim women in the process of decision-making, and it can reduce erroneous traditions among the Muslims. Overall, the results indicate a shift from one-sided male authority to sharing the power by both husband and wife.

Abstract Micro-finance, through micro-credit has emerged as the biggest women’s empowerment strategy for low-income groups across India. Besides the SHG-Bank linkage programme gaining success in the country, the MFIs are playing appreciable roles in providing micro-credit to SHGs, in collaboration with the government, NGOs and social organizations. But experiences at the micro-level of SHGs tell us that micro-finance is not always being effective in poverty alleviation and the questions being addressed here are related to financial practices within SHGs and knowledge of credit usage. The study looks at the money management practices of women SHG members, who were users of micro-credit through an MFI called Grameen Koota in Karnataka. On the basis of the findings that revealed limited knowledge of the women regarding value for savings, cash flow management, capital formation and account keeping, financial literacy modules were developed for empowerment of SHG members, one of which has been presented in this study in detail.

Abstract As women enter the work force, they have to face some physical and psychological stresses in the work environment. They have to bear pressure created by the multiple roles they have to play in conflicting situations, which may adversely affect their job performance. More than a quarter million working women surveyed and observed difficulty in balancing work and family. Keeping in mind the above situation, the study was planned with the objectives to study the effects of stress on physiological and psychological parameters and to suggest possible approaches to stress management. For this an experimental research design was chosen. Various physiological and psychological tests and observation sheets were used to ascertain the effects of stress. Nearby areas of Uttarakhand state were selected for the study and the purposive sampling design was used to select the study area and sample size. A total sample size of 125 respondents, having equal representatives (25 each) from the five job categories was taken. The major findings of the study are that a considerable average difference in blood pressure (7.9 mmHg) and pulse pressure (5.0 mmHg) was found among the people working in private sector, whereas the difference in heart rate, respiration rate and temperature was found more among the workers of bank/LIC as 9.2 beats/min, 5.8 cycles/min and 0.56oF respectively. In case of psychological parameters, aptitude test and letter cancellation test was done and found that the performance of the workers reduces in the evening as compare to morning and the difference was 7.16 and 5.68 respectively, which altogether shows the physical as well as psychological stress among them.

Abstract A survey was conducted to assess the nutritional status of children (0-3 years) among 16 Anganwadis in 5 villages in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) registered under the ICDS scheme. A self-prepared structured interview schedule was used. To get the qualitative information of the study anthropometric measures include height and weight were used for assessing nutritional status of the children. The stepwise analysis of two variables height for age and weight for age was applicable on the basis of Waterlow’s and Gomez’ classification. To examine the relationship between nutritional status of the child and selected variable that affects nutritional status of children, Chi-square test was employed. Based on Gomez’ classification, out of 300 children, only 229 (76.4%) of children received supplementary nutrition through ICDS out of which 188 (62.7%) children were normal while 41 (13.7%) were underweight. Based on Waterlow’s classification out of 300 children, only 229 (76.4%) of children received supplementary nutrition through ICDS out of these children 148 (49.4%) were normal while 81 (27%) were stunted. It can thus be concluded that majority of children were normal who received supplementary nutrition through ICDS.

Abstract The present study was conducted on a sample of 40 divorced women. Random sampling technique was used to select the sample and self-designed questionnaire was used to collect the data. The results revealed that most of the marriages were successful in the beginning but later deteriorated with cruelty being the main reason for divorce. For working women salary was the only source of income but non-working women were dependant on their parents to fulfill their basic needs. The problem was even greater for women who had the custody of children. Majority of the women studied blamed the other partner for divorce and didn’t regret their decision of divorce. The only emotion they felt for their ex-husbands was hatred and most of the women didn’t want to marry again.

Abstract Despite a powerful social norm that parents should treat offspring equally, beginning in early childhood and continuing through adulthood, parents often differentiate among their children in such domains as affection, privileges, and discipline. The current study examined whether parental and contextual risk factors contribute to mothers and fathers’ differential treatment when accounting for sibling dyad characteristics in five domains (privileges, chores, affection, discipline, and temporal involvement). One hundred and twenty families with equal number of the four sibling sex constellations (girl-boy, boy-boy, girl-girl and boy-girl) were studied. Even where equal treatment was normative a substantial proportion of parents reported differential treatment. Children’s reports about the parental differential treatment were taken through a standardized scale. Parental differential treatment was more in opposite sibling sex dyads as compared to same sibling sex dyads. Parents favoured more to older siblings in domains of privileges and allocation of household chores. Parents favoured younger siblings in domains of affection and temporal involvement. Mothers were more differential in treatment as compared to fathers. Paternal differential treatment was seen in temporal involvement as fathers spend more time with sons than daughters. Parental differential treatment patterns were significantly related to parental and contextual variables.

Abstract Marital harmony is an important dimension of parent-child relationship. Present study was an attempt to understand the role of marital harmony in determining quality of mother-teen relationships. The total sample comprised of 300 respondents (100 each of mothers, sons and daughters) selected purposively from four zones of Ludhiana city. A self designed sociodemographic questionnaire was used to identify mothers that fulfilled the inclusion criteria set for the present study. The quality of mother-teen relationship as perceived by mothers was assessed. Marital adjustment of the mothers was also investigated to study its impact on mother-teen relationship. The results of the study revealed that majority of mothers had good marital relationships. Mothers having good marital relations had less conflicts and more realistic expectations from their sons and daughters. Mothers with average marital adjustment were significantly over protective for their daughters than the mothers with good or poor marital adjustment. With increase in marital adjustment mothers became more accepting and realistic in their expectations. Mothers’ protecting and loving attitude for daughters increased significantly with increase in marital adjustment. The marital adjustment of the mothers contributed significantly to the daughter-mother relationship.
