Religious Identity and Identity Diffusion in Romantic Relationships: Exploring Married Women in Inter-Religious Context of India
Authors: Damini Vyas  
Published: December 2021

Identity is the most widely studied concept in the field of psychology and sociology. The concept of identity has many variables contributing to its formation such as social, culture, religion etc. Religion plays important roles when it comes to determining the identity of the individual holistically. Since childhood an exposure to a particular religion helps the individual form their religious identity thus when the individual is introduced to a culture and practices of another religion they can experience confusion or diffusion. When women are married into another religion they are more likely to be exposed to the cultural and religious practices of their spousal family’s religion thus they can experience identity diffusion. James Marcia explained the concept of identity diffusion as a hallmark of lack of commitment, basically it is the confusion experienced by the individual within their religious identity when exposed to another religion. This study aims to understand the religious identity of women of inter-religious marriages in India. The study also aims at understanding whether the exposure of a new religious culture and practices has caused diffusion in their identity. It is an explorative qualitative research design which uses thematic analysis to study the responses of 6 females who have engaged into inter-religious marriage.

Significance of Colour Usage in Cognitive Mind Maps to Enhance Academic Achievement
Authors: Chandini Bhoopal  , Dr. Saroj Arya  
Published: December 2021

Colour is a significant aspect of Cognitive Mind Maps which are visual representations of a subject to enhance recall. Entire lessons form visual images with key words. Scientific studies indicate a basis for relating colour and its effects to memory and recall. Colour plays a pivotal role in successful encoding, storage and retrieval of information. Extensively used in the corporate world, research studies involving Mind Maps using colours, in U.K. and Australian schools claim successful results. There is little documented/published evidence of the same at high school levels in India. Sound educational systems but changed lifestyles have joint families-now nuclear, with high school ‘latch key’ children succumbing to dangerous distractions like TVs and computerized gadgets. School children not supervised closely may not perform to their intrinsic potential. Dependence on guides/question banks cause students to memorize answers without understanding lesson concepts. Research on Mind Maps with colour, as a teaching/self study aid, will find potential for application in NCERT/SCERT textbooks.

Adolescent nutrition is therefore important for supporting the physical growth of the body and for preventing future health problems. For many adolescents, inadequate quality and quantity of food are the prime determinates of nutrition problems.

For the present study, the hospital located at Sanganeri gate Jaipur (Mahila zila chikitsalya) was selected. Present study indicates that there is positive relation between BMI of respondents and birth weight of their newborns (p<0.05). Birth weight of the infant is directly related with maternal weight gain and BMI. In the present study 70% of the respondents were anemic. Severe anemia was found to be 3%, which is a serious finding and this can lead to maternal and neonatal morbidity. Current study showing that, hemoglobin level of the respondents has direct impact on birth weight of new born. Babies of anemic mothers tend to be of LBW (p< 0.001). Adolescent girls as such suffer from mild to moderate anemia. Added to this, adolescent pregnancy can become a threat to her life. Hence, there is a need for educating adolescent girls on harmful effect of teenage pregnancy and also the importance of IFA supplementation, not only during adolescence but also in pregnancy.

Published: December 2021

Family is the main pillar of child’s personality development. Elements of family life such as parenting style and parental attitudes profoundly affect the psychosocial and personality development of adolescents. Parenting style is a psychological construct representing standard strategies that parents use in child rearing. The quality of the relationship between parents and children are considered as the determining factor of adjustment, interpersonal interaction. Psychological and emotional atmosphere dominant on the family form the behavioral and personality characteristics of children. (Sarmast, 2006). Identity and personality formation during adolescence is profoundly influenced by the dyadic parent–child relationship. When parenting is dysfunctional, internalization and continuity of parental values become problematic. Various studies indicate that one of the most effective factors on the development and formation of adolescent personality is their parent’s parenting practices. (Belsky & Barrendz 2008; Prinzich et. al. 2004). The present study investigates two dimensions of parental style, “Care & overprotection” on adolescent personality. Personality development Index by K.V. Kaliappan & S. Karithikeyan and parental bonding instrument by Gordon Parker, Hilary Tupling are the tools used. The relationship and outcome of each dimension of parenting style will be discussed with personality of adolescent. SPSS package will be used for statistical analysis.
