Published: December 2021

Smartphones are not just becoming a part of our daily lives – but a part of each and every one of us. The presence of this handy device that holds the world just a touch away has been greatly significant and unavoidable in our standard of living. It is surprising to note that an average person checks their phone 110 times per day, even without their knowledge or any reason. It is not just perceived as a gadget, but as a digital umbilical cord connecting us to a fulfilled life. While the presence of smartphones has its mark, its absence has notable impacts too. Nomophobia (NO-Mobile phone-PHOBIA) -The fear/anxiety of being away from mobile phone contact- is an alarmingly raising specific phobia in the recent times. A study on Britain mobile phone users found that nearly 53% of them tend to be anxious when they ‘lose their mobile phone, run out of battery or balance, or have no network coverage’.72% of people state that there is a very little chance they will ever move 5 feet away from their phone. Interestingly, most such people use it even during shower. According to an article in the UK daily ‘The Telegraph’(21 Oct 2015), Global Smartphone sales was predicted to grow by 18%, where the growth will be driven by developing markets, led by India, China and Indonesia. Considering this tremendous increase in the Smartphone market in India, it is but threatening to think about the dependency that Indians are facing with their mobile device. This study gives an insight into the levels of Nomophobia that prevails in India and its psychological aspects in four major dimensions using the NMP-Questionnaire. A sample of 1500 Smartphone users from various states of India collected through snowball sampling were assessed on their usage purpose and pattern. Evaluating correlates such as age, gender and occupation showed that females have higher levels of Nomophobia than males and students (18-24 years) fall under higher severity of Nomophobia than working class.

Personality Factors as Determinants of Psychological Well-Being among University Students
Authors: Dr. FarihaIshrat Ullah
Published: December 2021

Sense of well-being is one of the most important goals which individuals strive for. It affects our perceptions of the external world such that we are able to view it with greater positivity and deal with day to day problems effectively. With an increasingly competitive existence, the pressures and challenges confronting the individual are extremely high, therefore it is difficult to maintain this sense of well-being at all stages of life. Adolescence and early adulthood are particularly demanding, because conflicts relating to quest for identity, concerns for academic success, career and uncertainty about the future all magnify the problems manifold. This is a phase in which several mental health disorders of adulthood appear and affect adjustment in society. Intellectual capacities increase and emotions intensify. The major tasks during this phase include establishing independence, realizing one’s identity and capabilities and preparing for adult self reliance. Psychological well-being has been defined as a dynamic state characterized by a reasonable amount of harmony between an individual’s abilities, needs and expectations, and environmental demands and opportunities (Levi, 1987). It is connotative as a harmonious satisfaction of one’s desires and goals (Chekola, 1975). Since personality is a core factor which determines our reactions and adjustments, psychological-well-being during such a stressed phase as adolescence should be studied within its perspective. It is important that researches which identify factors which contribute to psychological well-being should continue to be conducted in different contexts and with better methodologies. The present research aims to study the personality factors as determinants of psychological well-being amongst university students. Appropriate analysis will be conducted to explore the topic further.

Authors: Sadaf Anjum Masoodi  , Prof. Shahina Maqbool
Published: December 2021

There has been a worrying trend in Kashmir i.e. the growth of posttraumatic stress disorder, a mental condition which is affecting people for more than two decades. The continuous political uncertainty, insecurity from armed forces; natural calamities are the contributory factors.  And it is found that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is on the rise in Kashmir Valley after the worst ever floods hit the state few months back. Psychiatrists in Srinagar opine that there has been a remarkable increase in the number of patients who were suffering from “early symptoms” of PTSD.  Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a condition that develops after an individual expose through a terrifying ordeal that involves physical harm or the threat of a physical harm. The condition develops amongst the people who may have gone through some physical harm or might have witnessed their loved ones or the people around them being harmed. The trauma affects people in three ways: negative, neutral and positive. Under the positive category, the affected person somehow gets encouraged and takes up challenges. Their condition does not make any difference to them. Highly stressful events or major life traumas (such as serious illness, road traffic accident, death of a relative or loved one, unemployment, divorce, etc.) can lead to a variety of  behavioral, psychological and emotional negative outcomes to the disruptive and aversive conditions (Taku, Cann, Tedeschi, & Calhoun, 2009). The positive side of the trauma is that it also leads to growth. This phenomenon has been recognized as a distinct construct – posttraumatic growth (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996), implying ‘‘positive psychological change experienced as a result of the struggle with highly challenging life circumstances’’ (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004, p. 1). Positive change has been noted in the literature by various authors and referred to in diverse terms – among others, benefit-finding (Affleck & Tennen, 1996), stress-related growth (Park, Cohen, & Murch, 1996), adversarial growth (Linley & Joseph, 2004), flourishing (Ryff & Singer, 1998), and thriving (O’Leary & Ickovics, 1995).  The main objective of the paper is to discuss the role of Islam with special reference to Qur’an and Sunna in posttraumatic Growth among violence victims in Kashmir valley India. Islamic practices such as prayer and listening Qur’an plays important role in coping with traumatic disorders. Islamic values and beliefs can be beneficial in overcoming traumatic life events and seeking posttraumatic Growth. The Holy Qur’an teaches us “The truly righteous — are those who endure with fortitude misfortune, hardship and peril. That is, who are patient in poverty and affliction, and in time of war” (2:178).

Psychiatric morbidity can be regarded as closely related to health status and quality of life among cancer patients. Communication between oncologists and cancer patients seems to play an important role in psychological difficulties that can arise during the diagnosis and treatment phase of cancer, such as uncertainty, anxiety, depression and problems with coping. Qualitative researches done earlier, confirms that how cancer patients perceive their relationship with physician, generally affects their psychological well being which ultimately influences their short term and long term health outcomes. This paper presented an extensive review on the significance of physicians’ communication behaviour which revealed the complex relationship of doctor-patient communication and reinforces the practice implications of the former reviews. It was concluded that instead of focusing on different types of communication behaviours as separate entities, future researches should adopt an integrated approach toward the understanding of the doctor patient communication to get a clearer picture of psychological and health outcome in cancer patients.

Exploring the Consumer Co-Operative Relationship with Their Members: An Individual Psychological Perspective on Ownership
Authors: Dr. Saroj Kumar Singh
Published: December 2021

It is argued in co-operative literature that a distinctive feature of consumer co-operatives is the strong linkage between customers and their co-operative organization.  Another distinctive feature identified is the nature of ownership.  Bridging these two is the claim that is the nature of ownership that creates the special bond between customers and their cooperatives.  In this theoretical paper, we elaborate this idea further, employing a psychological ownership perspective.  Limiting our work on the individual-level, we analyze co-operative literature through the definition of psychological ownership, development mechanisms, and underlying motives showing that the feelings of ownership can be an essential part of being a member.  Our concluding remarks are for the attention of both researchers and practitioners.

Authors: Vinita Tiwari  , Saroj Verma
Published: December 2021

Several studies indicated a relation between parental control and symptoms of anxiety and depression among adolescents. But satisfaction with parental control has not been given much emphasis with regard to mental health problems among adolescents. The present study aimed to examine the adolescents’ satisfaction with parental control and its relationship with anxiety and depression. It was hypothesized that satisfaction with parental control (maternal and paternal) would be negatively associated with anxiety and depression among adolescents. Four hundred adolescents (200 boys and 200 girls) with age range of 15 to 19 years, were administered ‘Satisfaction with Parental Control Scale’ and ‘General Health Questionnaire’ to assess the variables under study. Correlational analysis revealed that adolescents who have greater satisfaction with their maternal and paternal control reported less anxiety and depressive symptoms. Further, regression analysis clearly indicates that satisfaction with maternal control emerged as significant predictor for anxiety and depression. Present study provides the conclusion that satisfaction with parental control improves mental health status of adolescents. The findings may have counselling implications.
