Purpose: This study aims to compare the effects of chiropractic adjustment to the lumbar spine and/or pelvis, and chiropractic adjustment to the lumbar spine and/or pelvis in conjunction with a muscle stability exercise programme in the treatment of chronic low back pain in former ballet and modern dancers with regards to pain, disability and lumbar spine and pelvic range of motion. These effects were based on a questionnaire consisting of a Numerical Pain Rating Scale, and an Oswestry Low Back Pain and Disability Index, and on lumbar spine range of motion (ROM) readings taken using a digital inclinometer. The questionnaire was completed and the ROM readings taken prior to treatment on the first, fourth and seventh visits. Method: Thirty participants who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated to one of two different groups of fifteen participants each. One group received chiropractic adjustments to the lumbar spine and/or sacroiliac joints, with an added muscle stability exercise programme. The second group received chiropractic adjustments to the lumbar spine and/or sacroiliac joints alone. Treatment took place over a period of three weeks, and participants were treated six times out of a total of seven visits. Procedure: Subjective data was collected at the first and fourth consultations prior to treatment, as well as on the seventh consultation by means of a Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) as well as an Oswestry Low Back Pain and Disability Index to assess pain and disability levels. Objective data was collected at the first and fourth consultations prior to treatment, and at the seventh consultation by means of a digital inclinometer for assessing lumbar spine range of motion (ROM). Data collected was analysed by a statistician. Results: Clinically and statistically significant improvements in group 1 and group 2 were noted over the duration of the study with regards to pain and disability, however the lumbar spine range of motion results were inconsistent with regards to the expected outcome of increased range of motion. Conclusion: The results show that both chiropractic adjustment, as well as chiropractic adjustment in conjunction with a muscle stability exercise programme, are effective treatment protocols both clinically and statistically in decreasing pain and disability in former ballet and modern dancers with chronic low back pain, however, neither treatment protocol proved to be preferential over the other. The results also showed a larger decrease in lumbar spine range of motion than the expected increase in lumbar spine range of motion.

▼ Objective: There is an increasing appreciation by clinicans and researchers that psychosocial
adjustment and recovery after sustaining traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a multi-factorial process. The aim of the present study was to investigate if premorbid psychosocial functioning and cognitive status post-TBI are linked to long term psychosocial functioning.
Methods: 12 patients who had sustained TBI at an average of 14.8 years prior to examination. Psychosocial
adjustment both pre-TBI and post-TBI was assessed by using the ASEBA questionnaire, whilst cognitive status was evaluated by administering the Rey Osterreith Complex Figure, Logical Memory I and Logical Memory II, the Hayling and Brixton test, the COWAT verbal fluency test and the NART premorbid intelligence test.
Results: Premorbid psychosocial
adjustment was found to be linked to post-injury psychosocial functioning. Also, cognitive measures were correlated with aspects of psychosocial functioning.
Conclusions: The results from the present study confirm that psychosocial
adjustment after TBI is a multifactorial process. It emphasizes the importance of obtaining a history of the inidividual’s premorbid psychosocial and cognitive history. This is a necessity in the context of both clinical practice and research.

▼ Credit value
adjustment (CVA), as a quantified measure of counterparty credit risk for financial derivatives, is becoming an increasingly important concept for the financial industry. In this thesis, we evaluate CVA for an interest rate swap via a new structural default model. In our model, the asset value of a company is assumed to follow meromorphic Lévy processes with infinite jumps but finite variation. One important advantage of our model is that we are able to assume a random recovery rate which depends on default severity. Compared with the case with a fixed recovery rate, we show that the effect on CVA with a random recovery rate is significant.

▼ Biomedical models of dementia dominate UK policy and practice guidelines but can be criticised for neglecting personal, social and contextual factors. The medicalisation of dementia benefits powerful groups whilst shaping the narratives of people with dementia labels (PwDL) in line with dominant discourses of deficit and loss. Personhood has similarly been criticised for neglecting broader sociocultural factors that pervade the experience of dementia. A more recent movement towards understanding the impact of dementia from a relational focus has been narrowly conceptualised, as research usually only involves one significant other and does not consider the interaction of narrative strategies that family members employ. Taking into consideration the limitations of previous research, this thesis drew upon narrative inquiry using a social constructionist epistemology to interview one family together, including the PwDL, to understand how they have made sense of dementia. By additionally interviewing the family members separately it was possible to explore how the impact of cognitive and functional difficulties has been co-constructed. In this way, it was hoped that the contribution of the family to scaffold or undermine PwDL identity could be discerned. Frank's (2012) Dialogical Narrative Analysis was adapted to incorporate a systemic lens and was used to analyse interview data. This research suggested that the experience of dementia is shaped by multiple personal, interpersonal and sociocultural factors, which interact to determine the way PwDL and their family members adjust to cognitive and functional changes (Górska, Forsyth & Maciver, 2017). In addition, a dementia diagnosis may be so threatening for some PwDL that their experiences may be best framed using a trauma lens. Clinical implications concern systemic and narrative approaches which may facilitate PwDL and their families to re-story their experiences, retain "empathic access" (Schechtman, 2003:245) to the past whilst re-defining identity, and maintain family connections. Health-care professionals can also advise policy-makers and the media to challenge dominant discourses around dementia and prevent the marginalisation and potential traumatisation of PwDL. Research implications concern further exploration of ways in which the personal, interpersonal and sociocultural interact by interviewing more families, from diverse backgrounds, over the longer term, and using a trauma lens.

▼ The current literature highlights the significant role of psychological factors including cognitive (pain related thoughts and beliefs) and acceptance components (pain willingness, activity engagement, psychological inflexibility) in the management of chronic pain. The research is however in the preliminary stages in terms of investigating the specific relationships that exist between these psychological processes in their ability to predict adjustment to pain. This study aims to extend the current findings by investigating the relationships between several cognitive and acceptance components in their ability to predict emotional and physical adjustment in the context of chronic pain. The hypotheses that cognitive and acceptance components mediate the relationship between pain severity and pain adjustment, and also that acceptance mediates the relationship between cognitive components and pain adjustment will be tested. Method The study employed a cross-sectional survey-based design, including 214 chronic pain patients recruited from an NHS pain clinic. Participants completed a series of self-report questionnaires measuring pain severity, fear of movement beliefs, pain self-efficacy beliefs, pain catstrophising, acceptance and psychological flexibility, pain disability, and depression and anxiety. Structural Equation Modeling was used in order to conduct path analyses, investigating the complex relationships between these variables in predicting physical and emotional adjustment to chronic pain. Results The results from a Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated that a three factor model comprising pain, cognitive and acceptance components as separate latent variables had a poor fit and therefore could not be used in further analysis. The results of path analyses showed that pain self-efficacy was the only variable to have a strong mediating influence between pain and physical adjustment. Findings also supported a nested path model demonstrating that acceptance, catastrophising and self-efficacy were mediators between pain and emotional adjustment, and that acceptance was also a mediator for pain catastrophising and a partial mediator for pain self-efficacy in their relationship with emotional adjustment. Conclusions The importance of pain self-efficacy specifically in predicting physical adjustment to pain is highlighted. A more complex model however is required to explain emotional adjustment, with acceptance playing a more prominent role in comparison with other variables. The findings also provide support for both Cognitive and Acceptance-based interventions in improving adjustment to living with chronic pain. Given the preliminary nature of these findings, further research employing similar statistical methods are required to provide further support.

▼ Professional Doctorate - Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)
This research investigates the adjustment of Mainland Chinese Expatriates (MCEs) working in Hong Kong from a multiple-stakeholder perspective. Expatriate adjustment is defined as how well psychologically and capably an expatriate adjusts to perform their job in a foreign country. While it is well understood that successful expatriation, requires the expatriate to adjust to their new working and living environment and that personal ability, family, co-workers and home-country colleagues are instrumental in the process, few studies explore these factors in unison, despite the rational expectation that they are to some degree interdependent. Moreover, traditionally research on expatriation examines the experience of developed country or ‘Western’ expatriates so there is little known of the applicability of insights from this literature to the experience of non-traditional expatriates from developing countries. Uniquely, this study explores the experience of Mainland Chinese Expatriates (MCE) in Hong Kong. The experience of these expatriates in the special administrative zone of Hong Kong has not previously been considered in expatriate research, despite their significance as an expatriate cohort in Hong Kong and despite the unique challenges they face. Through in-depth interviews with MCE in Hong Kong this study explores the experience of expatriate adjustment from a multiple stakeholder perspective and provides novel insights into the role of each for adjustment. This research finds that the expatriate’s personal ability is strongly related to expatriate adjustment. Job related skills, language (Cantonese and English) and culture awareness skills (consequent to a perceived cultural distance between the mainland and Hong Kong) are found to be vital for adjustment. As might be expected, supports from the expatriates families was found to be a crucial factor for successful adjustment, however, the family-support revealed in this study goes well beyond what is envisaged by extant research. Despite, perceived cultural difference (and reported tension within the general environment), information sharing, cultural-training and job skills as well as living supports from the host country co-workers were found to be widespread and very positive for MCE adjustment in Hong Kong. By contrast home-country supports from China were lacking. The implications for extant understanding of expatriate adjustment and future research are discussed and in keeping with the practical focus of the DBA degree, practical implications for MNCs and international human resource managers are clearly articulated.

▼ The characteristics and behaviors that high status children display are of importance because of the influence they have on social, psychological, and emotional
adjustment (Rubin, Bukowski, & Parker, 2006). Research has demonstrated that there are at least two types of high status children: those who are sociometrically popular and those who are perceived popular (Lease, Kennedy, & Axelrod, 2002). The current study sought to determine if perceived popular children compared to other high status children, demonstrated clinically significant or at-risk levels of internalizing and externalizing symptoms as well as poor adaptive skills on a nationally normed measure (i.e., Behavior Assessment System for Children; Reynolds & Kamphaus, 1992). Results suggest that popular/well-liked children seem to experience some degree of a buffer from certain negative outcomes that may be a function of the prosocial characteristics that they display. Future studies should investigate the moderating effect prosocial characteristics
might have on the
adjustment of popular, aggressive children.

▼ Little is known about the experiences of parental adjustment following the birth of a child with a facial birthmark due to a scarcity of literature. The literature within the fields of cleft lip and palate (CL/P) and cranio-facial abnormality (CFA) suggest that there are many factors involved in the process of parental adjustment. The aim of this project was to explore how parents adjust following the birth of their child with a facial birthmark. In-depth interviews were conducted with 13 parents of children aged between birth and two years old. The data was analysed using a Constructivist Grounded Theory approach and a model of adjustment was co-constructed from the data. It appears that parents move through a process of adjustment, that begins with coping with the initial shock and uncertainty before moving on to understanding the birthmark and treatment options, making sense of the birthmark, developing coping strategies and adjusting to birthmark. This process is affected by the availability of resources and the extent of social challenges experienced by the parents. The findings of this study indicate that psychology should be routinely involved with the assessment of parental psycho-social well-being and psycho-social support should be promoted for these families. Furthermore, greater training about birthmarks for medical professionals is recommended.

▼ How well immigrants and refugees adjust to Canadian
society is critical for their well-being and integration. Using an
acculturation development framework and emphasizing a
process-oriented and strength-based approach, this dissertation
reports on three papers related to immigrant and refugee
adjustment, education, and acculturation in Canada. In the first
paper, I drew on ethnographic methodology to examine the school
engagement of newcomer Somali parents and the ways in which
engagement was facilitated in a school-based transition program. I
collected multiple types of data including field notes, meeting
notes, 19 individual interviews with program stakeholders
(teachers, after-school staff, cultural brokers, program
leadership, and representatives from immigrant serving
organizations), and one group interview with 13 Somali mothers.
Results showed that parental engagement was limited due to
language-related barriers, dissimilar cultural and educational
expectations, practical, resettlement, and social barriers. These
barriers were successfully addressed in the program through various
strategies including cultural brokering services and parent
information meetings. In the second paper, I used the same
ethnographic methodology to examine the school adjustment
experiences of recently arrived Somali and Ethiopian adolescents
with limited formal schooling. Field notes were recorded and
interviews were conducted with 11 adolescents, 8 of their teachers,
and 12 after-school/settlement staff working closely with the
adolescents during their early transition years. Results
highlighted the social-emotional, acculturation, and academic needs
of newcomer adolescent refugees, as well as their strengths. In the
third paper, I used a method of interpretive description to compare
the bicultural experiences and competencies of first- and
second-generation immigrants and refugees who have lived in Canada
for a longer period of time and have experienced positive
acculturation outcomes. Focus groups were conducted with eight
first-generation and eight second-generation youth and adults.
Results showed that both generations experienced acculturation
challenges and developed similar bicultural competencies; however,
the second generation experienced unique challenges within family
and heritage peer networks. Together, the findings highlight some
of the difficulties immigrants and refugees face when navigating
two cultures and the need for educational supports that take into
consideration their social-emotional and acculturation challenges
and acknowledge their cultural capital, aspirations, and
pre-migration knowledge.

▼ Research shows that adolescent connections to the family and school environments both diminish across time and are predictive of psychological
adjustment. Coping strategies displayed during adolescence are also thought to play a central role in the development of psychological
adjustment outcomes. The present longitudinal study investigated trajectories of family and school connectedness during adolescence, the relationship of these trajectories to
adjustment outcomes in emerging adulthood, and whether and how coping strategies might explain the relationships between family and school connectedness during adolescence and psychological
adjustment in emerging adulthood. A sample of 946 adolescents were surveyed four times across an eight year period; three time points were during their secondary school years (2006, 2007, and 2008) and the final survey point was five years later (2013). Growth curve models were constructed to examine changes in family and school connectedness from Time 1 to Time 3, and to determine whether these changes predicted Time 4
adjustment outcomes. Mediation path models were also employed to determine whether and how Time 3 maladaptive and adaptive coping strategies functioned as mediators between Time 1 family and school connectedness and Time 4 psychological
adjustment outcomes. Results demonstrated that those individuals who were well-connected to their family and school during adolescence were psychologically better adjusted in emerging adulthood. They also showed that levels of both family and school connectedness declined across adolescence for females, but not for males, and that declines in school connectedness were predictive of better psychological
adjustment outcomes. Finally, greater family and school connectedness displayed during adolescence predicted reductions in the use of maladaptive coping and increases in the use of adaptive coping, which in turn, predicted increases in psychological
adjustment in emerging adulthood. The findings are discussed in terms of their contributions to the literature, their implications for the treatment of adolescent mental health difficulties, and suggestions for future research are made.

▼ In New Zealand the Ministry of Health recognises quality of care as an integral part of a high performing health system and identifies patient safety as one of the key dimensions of quality. Over recent years a greater emphasis has been placed on improving patient safety mostly as a result of increased awareness around the frequency of medical error and resulting economic cost. However tools used to measure patient safety are limited. In particular the use of hospital administrative data to measure patient safety is scarce and existing safety measures often ignore one of the major issues confronting comparative analyses of hospital safety, risk
adjustment to control for the differences in populations hospitals serve.
The objective of this research is to develop comparable measures of patient safety for New Zealand public hospitals. It uses risk
adjustment strategies applied to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) with New Zealand hospital administrative data, the National Minimum Dataset 2001 to 2009. The research employs econometric techniques to address risk
adjustment of the PSIs, utilising existing AHRQ models but adapting and re-estimating them with New Zealand administrative data.
The findings from the research indicate that to use the AHRQ PSIs as measures of hospital patient safety in New Zealand, risk
adjustment should first be employed to ensure measures are comparable across hospitals and over time. Overall, although the impact of risk
adjustment appears to be minor, it has relevance and this should be recognised. Relative hospital performance is affected by risk
adjustment. In particular, it has the greatest impact on those hospitals with poor rankings. The research takes us a step closer to being able to confidently measure patient safety and quality of care in New Zealand public hospitals in an innovative way.

The role of coping flexibility with behavioral approach

▼ Researchers have demonstrated the impact of life
events in causing mood fluctuation among people with bipolar
disorder (BD). By integrating the Behavioral Approach System (BAS)
dysregulation theory and coping flexibility framework, this thesis
aims to identify the additional role of coping with life events by
measuring the associations between BAS sensitivity level,
psychosocial functioning level, coping flexibility, and mood states
in a sample of community-dwelling individuals with and without BD.
The investigation was carried out through three interrelated
studies.
Study 1: Using a cross-sectional study design, 90
participants with remitted BD were recruited. Each individual was
presented with four different BAS- activating life-event scenarios.
Respective scales and questionnaires were used for the
corresponding measurements. Different styles of coping flexibility
were identified using the hierarchical clustering method. Further
examinations of the mediating and moderating roles of coping were
also performed. Findings showed that a low degree of coping
flexibility matched with low levels of both BAS sensitivity and
psychosocial functioning protected people with BD from
detrimentally accentuating mood states when encountering
BAS-activating life events. Moreover, the mediating and moderating
roles of coping were confirmed.
Study 2: Extending study 1, this
study made a further comparison between participants with (n = 90)
and without (n = 90) BD. Multivariate analysis of covariance
(MANCOVA) was used to examine group differences. The added value of
coping was determined using sequential multiple regression. The
mediating and moderating roles of coping were also identified for
the entire sample. Findings indicated significant between-group
differences in all major variables. Coping flexibility had an
additional value in predicting mood states beyond BAS sensitivity
and psychosocial functioning levels. In addition, emotion-focused
and behavioral-activation/emotion-amplifying coping were suggested
to mediate the relationship between BAS sensitivity level and mood
states. Furthermore, perceived controllability was shown to
alleviate the effects of BD diagnosis, BAS sensitivity level, and
psychosocial functioning level on mood states.
Study 3: Using a
12-month prospective cohort observational design, this study
examined the changes in coping flexibility and mood states at
6-month and 12-month follow-ups for the entire sample. Hierarchical
linear modeling (HLM) was performed to test the individual growth
model by studying repeatedly measured data. The findings showed
fluctuations in different components of coping flexibility and mood
states across time. It confirmed the amplified emotionality
characteristics of BD as compared with the healthy control group.
Moreover, coping flexibility took precedence over BAS sensitivity
and psychosocial functioning levels in predicting mood states.
Reducing the perceived controllability and number of coping
strategies seemed to be effective in regulating the over-elevated
mood…

▼ Despite pharmacological and psychological
intervention for schizophrenic patients that had developed for a
few decades, only 13.7% of the patients could attain functional
remission. Current research urged to examine the determinant of
functional outcome for schizophrenic patients. The linkage between
cognitive deficit and functional impairment had been well
supported. However, the effect of cognitive remediation on specific
cognitive ability was far from satisfactory. Emerging evidence
showed that metacognition was mediating the relationship between
cognitive deficit and functional impairment. The current study
aimed at investigating whether problem-focused coping served as a
mediator between metacognitive deficit and functional impairment.
Thirty-four patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder from a
local psychiatric outpatient clinic were recruited. They were asked
to tell their personal narrative to assess their metacognitive
ability in a more ecologically valid way when compared to previous
studies. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted to assess
their symptom severity, insight and social functioning. Self-rate
questionnaires were distributed to assess their coping styles.
Result suggested deficit in patients’ metacognitive ability.
Patients with higher metacognitive mastery used problem-focused
coping more frequently, while patients with higher relative use of
problem-focused coping had better social functioning in immediate
social network.
Problem-focused coping was found to be a
significant mediator of the relationship between metacognitive
mastery and social functioning in immediate social network.
Clinical implication on future treatment direction to improve
patient’s functional outcome was discussed.

▼ Gratitude is a ubiquitous emotional experience. A
simple “thank you” could just be a casual gesture of politeness;
yet, religions, philosophers, and psychologists have long proposed
that heart-felt experiences of gratefulness is the key to
well-being. This dissertation examined the mediating mechanisms of
the effects of gratitude on subjective well-being. I proposed a
resources-coping model, which postulates that gratitude fosters
subjective well-being through first enhancing perceptions of coping
resources, which in turn facilitating the adoption of adaptive
coping strategies. I tested this model in three studies. Study 1
found that, compared to the control condition, participants
experienced more favorable perceptions of social and personal
coping resources, higher efficacy to positive reframe stressful
events, and greater subjective well-being upon recalling grateful
events. The effect of condition on subjective well-being was
mediated by enhanced feelings of coping resources and positive
reframing efficacy. Building on this finding, Studies 2 and 3
applied the structural equation modeling approach to examine the
inter-relationships among gratitude, social and personal coping
resources, adaptive coping strategies, and subjective well-being
among individuals facing specific stressors. Study 2 revealed that
gratitude was associated with the receipt and satisfaction with
social support, as well as adaptive coping strategies, including
positive reframing, humor, acceptance, religious coping, and social
support seeking, among a group of familial dementia caregivers.
Study 3, which was conducted among a group of adults who had
recently experienced a work-related stressor, largely replicated
the findings of Study 2 and found that gratitude was associated
with both favorable perceptions of coping resources as well as
enhanced deployment of adaptive coping strategies. The results of
the structural equation models demonstrate that coping resources
mediated the effect of gratitude on life and work satisfaction,
perceived life and work stress, and depressive symptoms. Findings
of these three studies generally support the resources-coping
model. Implications on future studies on gratitude and the coping
process, as well as the application of gratitude-related findings
to psychotherapy are discussed.

▼ Introduction Rheumatic disease is an autoimmune
disorder with an unpredictable course of exacerbation and
remission. There is no known cure for the disease at the moment.
The patients’ conditions may progressively deteriorate despite
intensive therapies, and runs an erratic course with the
possibility of disfiguration and alteration in body image. Pain,
disabilities and psychological distress are common. Rheumatic
patients may respond differently to the same level of pain and
physical symptoms. The understanding of the needs of rheumatic
patients and how they successfully manage the disease and optimize
psychological
adjustment can help develop effective psychosocial
interventions. Aims The aims of the study are (1) to identify the
needs of rheumatic patients and perceptions of their disease, (2)
to develop a conceptual framework for psychological
adjustment, and
(3) to identify factors associated with resilience in rheumatic
patients. Methods The present study consisted of two phases. The
first phase was a focus group interview, aiming to understand the
patients’ feelings and to design a questionnaire. The second phase
was a prospective questionnaire survey that includes a baseline
study and a six-month follow-up study. Patients were recruited from
support groups in Hong Kong. The baseline questionnaire was
self-administrated, and the follow-up questionnaire was
administrated by telephone interview. The self-regulation model was
chosen as the basis for the conceptual framework for psychological
adjustment. The questionnaire included demographics, illness
representation, coping efforts, appraisal of coping efforts, sense
of coherence, quality of care, functional disability, and
health-related quality of life. The outcome measures were
functional and psychological health, change in
adjustment, and
positive and negative resilience. Results Having a good and caring
doctor, more information on the disease, and public understanding
of the disease were the needs of rheumatic patients. The patients
perceived that the disease was chronic, cyclical, and had poor
consequences. They perceived that the disease caused great pain,
stress, depression and anxiety, and affected their daily
activities, appearance, and relationship with family and friends.
Poor
adjustment was associated with chronic and cyclical timeline,
and poor perception of personal and treatment control. The analysis
of resilience shows that positive perception of treatment control
and disease consequence, correct understanding of disease causes,
and high sense of own value and importance to the society, were
protective. While those who lacked family support and blamed
themselves or their families to be the cause of disease, were
vulnerable. Discussion and conclusions The present study lends
support to the validity of self-regulation model in psychological
adjustment to disease, but coping efforts could only partially
mediate the relationship of illness representation to appraisal of
coping efforts, implying that the coping style might not
sufficiently capture…

▼ Previous studies indicate that social cognition is impaired after an acquired brain injury (ABI). Social cognition refers to the ability to interpret and understand emotions, social settings and interpersonal exchanges. The present study examined impairments in social cognitive ability, and the predictive utility of social cognition in determining functional outcomes after an ABI. Thirty participants with an ABI (m= 18, f= 12) were recruited, and 30 healthy controls matched for similar sex, age and premorbid IQ. A series of independent samples t-tests compared the ABI and control participants on social cognitive measures. The relationship between the ABI participant’s social cognitive ability and their functional outcomes were examined using eight hierarchical regressions. t-test results indicated that the ABI group performed significantly worse on the objective and informant measures of social cognition, while no significant differences on the self-reported social cognition measures were observed. Social cognition significantly predicted 43.5% of the variance in living skills on the participants rated outcome measure. The other regression models showed trends where social cognition predicted functional outcomes, however were non-significant. Clinical implications of the current study include facilitating assessments, by identifying individuals and their families who would benefit from more assistance and education.

▼ The purpose of the present study was to compare the
General, SC and BC category students on four variables viz. Family
Climate, School Adjustment, Attitude towards Education and Academic
Achievement and to study the effect of Family Climate, School
Adjustment, Attitude towards Education on Academic Achievement. A
Normative Survey Method was used in the present study with a sample
of 720 Govt. Sr. Sec. School Students belonging to General, SC and
BC category. The present study was confined to the four districts
in Haryana i.e. Bhiwani, Faridabad, Sonepat and Kurukshetra. Family
Climate Scale [FCS] by Dr. Shah (1990), Adjustment Inventory for
School Students [AISS] by Dr. Sinha and Singh (1993) and Attitude
Scale Towards Education [ASTE] by Dr. Chopra (1982) were used for
collection of data pertaining to the study. The Academic
Achievement of the students was measured by converting their GPA
into marks using the formula GPAx10. Statistical methods like Mean,
SD , Karl Pearson Coefficient of Correlation and t- test were
applied for the analysis of data keeping in view of objectives and
hypotheses of the study. The data were analysed making use of
xlstat a Microsoft Office Excel based software. The finding of the
present investigation were- [a] General category students were
found to be better on their family climate and school adjustment
than their counterparts SC and BC category students but a non
significant difference occurred on family climate and school
adjustment of SC and BC category students. [b] General and BC
category students were found to be better on attitude towards
education and academic achievement than those of SC category
students but no significant difference was found between General
and BC category students on the same variables. [c] A low positive
coefficient of correlation was obtained on academic achievement
with family climate and attitude towards education but a moderate
positive correlation was found between school adjustment and
academic achievement of General, SC and BC category
students

▼ Before the concept of Emotional Intelligence, there
was Intelligence Quotient or IQ , it was said in the past that the
person who is more intelligent or the person who has more IQ can
adjust himself or herself in the environment easily. But in recent
years, it also come into light that the students who are more
intelligent also leads to some kind or stress related to their
academic achievement and their parents expectations. So, we can say
that the Intelligence Quotient (IQ) does not wholly account for an
individual s success or failure in the world. In fact, most social
scientists who study Intelligence estimate that IQ accounts for
only 20 to 30 percent of outcome. Even if, as proponents assert, IQ
is the best known predictor of things like financial success, these
numbers are not the king you would want to wager on. It is easy to
interact with the person with normal emotions but to deal with the
person who is emotionally imbalance is very difficult. Emotional
Intelligence is a phrase that incorporates the intricate aspects of
both emotion and intelligence. Emotions rule the heart while
intelligence reigns supreme in the brain. The twin qualities are
inseparable and they exercise tremendous influence in the everyday
lives of individuals. Now, intelligence and success are not viewed
the same way they were before. New theories of intelligence have
been introduced and are gradually replacing the traditional theory.
Today, the whole students have become the centre of concern, not
only his reasoning capacities, but also his creativity, emotion and
interpersonal skills. IQ alone is no more the only measure for
success, emotional intelligence; social intelligence and luck also
play a big role in the person success and adjustment. Today there
are lots of behavioural problems like; stress, adjustment,
achievement etc are main concerns among the teenage groups which we
are observing regularly.

▼ The Van Staden’s Bridge has claimed 67 lives since its construction on 11 November 1971. A team of police officials, trained as negotiators who deal with suicide and hostage negotiation, are involved with the task of convincing suicidal persons who turn to the bridge to take their own lives, not to resort to suicide. They are responsible for persuading at least three people per week to reconisider suicide at this notorious bridge. The goal of this study was to explore and describe the experiences and coping resources of the SAPS suicide negotiation staff at the Van Staden’s Bridge, Thornhill, Port Elizabeth. A mixed methods study combining both the quantitative and qualitative approaches was implemented. An exploratory-descriptive design was used, because the topic is still a relatively under-researched area in South Africa. Two data collection measures, that is, the Coping Resources Inventory (CRI) and semi-structured interviewing were employed. The researcher conducted a pilot study to enhance the trustworthiness of the study. Non-probability, purposive sampling was employed to obtain research participants from the research population (suicide negotiation team), consisting of 12 members. Eight members participated voluntary in the quantitative data collection and of these a total of five participated in the qualitative research interviews. Six themes emerged from the results of the in-depth, semi-structured interviews: (1) experiences of SAPS suicide negotiators, (2) aspects that hinder the negotiation process, (3) characteristics of a negotiator, (4) important aspects of the negotiation process, (5) coping mechanisms of SAPS negotiators and (6) recommendations for rendering support to SAPS negotiators. The results from the CRI suggested that the participants have average coping resources with the cognitive domain being the lowest and both the social and physical domains being the highest. The limitations and the value of the study were outlined and finally, recommendations for future research were made

▼ Every human being passes through various stages in
his life time birth infancy childhood adolescence adulthood and old
age Ageing is a normal part o f life span and a biological process
It is associated with a gradual reduction in the reserve capacity o
f the organ systems o f body In other word we can define ageing as
a process characterized by progressive decline in all physiological
functions In every stage o f life we have problems life without
problems may not be worth living so we can not say that only old
age is problematic But it is conceivable that the problems that we
face in old age may be more severe than the ones that we face when
we are young or in middle age or it is also possible that we are
less prepared to face the problems in old age and hence we think
that they are overwhelming this is true for every human being on
earth As age advances lot o f physical mental and social changes
take place Physical condition may restrict movements social changes
may force dependency and mental condition may lead to depression
and anxiety poverty and economic insecurity may aggravate the
situation While ageing is a universal problem and no country can
escape it different countries have felt its impact differently
based on their socio cultural and economic characteristics Ageing
has not been as serious in developing countries as in the developed
countries Conditions in our country are somewhat different In our
villages the joint family system still predominates so their
families do not throw out old people at the mercy o f the society
In the newlinerural areas especially among the land owners large or
small the head o f the family is the sole owner o f the ancestral
land and he retains the dominant position during his life But
according to our sociologist the joint system in our cities is just
disappearing and the authority o f age has gone the aged find less
and less place They are being increasingly isolated and left out
The study was made on the rural and urban aged population of
Kashmir For this purpose aged people

▼ Globalisation has led to an increasing growth of world trade which has directed business all over the world to become increasingly international and increased the number and power of multinational companies. These expatriates are confronted with societal norms different from their home cultures. This study investigated which factors influence cross-cultural
adjustment the most and which factors are perceived by the expatriates to influence cross-cultural
adjustment. Based on the literature review four different categories of factors influencing cross-cultural
adjustment were identified (Individual, organisational, work-related and non-work related factors) A self-administered online questionnaire, based on existing questionnaires (Black’s (1988) cross-cultural
adjustment questionnaire) and literature research, was developed in order to detect a relationship between factors and one of the three
adjustment types (general, interaction and work) and to reveal the perceived importance of the factors. In this study all identified factors were perceived to be important for cross-cultural
adjustment. However, language skills and spousal
adjustment were perceived to be the most important factors and had indeed the strongest correlation towards cross-cultural
adjustment. Based on the findings of this research project, recommendations for organisations and expatriates have been provided

▼ The transition from adolescence into young adulthood can present many new challenges. How well and to what degree students are able to effectively meet the demands and challenges of college has been labeled as
adjustment (Mattanah, Hancock, & Brand, 2004). There is a growing interest and need for effective strategies and programs that can assist students in the transition to college. The purpose of this study was to identify how participation in physical activity, as measured by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Short Form may assist or hinder in students academic, social, personal-emotional
adjustment and institutional attachment to college life, as measured by the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ). There were two groups of 1st and 2nd year undergraduate students: 1) physically active students (n = 151) who were enrolled in a Physical Education Non-Professionals (PENP) physical activity courses that met three times per week and 2) non-physically active students (n = 137) who were not currently and had not previously enrolled in a PENP course. There were 288 participants within the study. Quantitative survey research methods examined a) academic
adjustment, b) social
adjustment, c) personal-emotional
adjustment, d) institutional attachment and e) daily physical activity levels. Descriptive statistics provided information about the overall characteristics of the sample. Research question 1 through 5 were tested using multiple one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Statistically significant results, p = .000, were found between physically active and non-physically active students' Academic, p = .029, and Social, p = .000
adjustment scores. Cohen's d identified a large effect size for both the Social, d = .711, and Personal-Emotional, d = .870,
adjustment domains. Cronbach's alpha reported an acceptable level (α = .760) of internal consistency for the SACQ and a low level (α = .562) of internal consistency for the IPAQ. Students within the non-physically active group displayed higher levels of social
adjustment and institutional attachment. Students within the physically-active group displayed higher levels of academic and personal-emotional
adjustment. Results found that students who demonstrate higher levels of institutional attachment to the university they attend seem to adjust better academically, socially and personal-emotionally.'

▼ This grounded theory study investigates the vastly unexplored context of internal socialization and reveals the transition experience of recently promoted leaders. The research results led to the development of a model of internal socialization, which is presented and discussed. Looking within the individual experience of internal socialization brings deeper insight into the emotional, physical, and cognitive effects of both the challenges and mistakes leaders encounter while providing a better understanding of what and who facilitates learning amidst this critical transition.

▼ The current study examined parenting during family dinnertime in families with 5-year-olds and its concurrent and longitudinal associations with child
adjustment. Child temperament was also examined as a moderator of these associations. Mothers??? and fathers??? autonomy support, control, and structure were observed during family dinnertime. Child temperament was assessed via structured observations in the home setting. Children???s socioemotional
adjustment was assessed via reports by non-parental caregivers at both 5 years and 5.5 years. Results suggested that parenting interacted with child temperament to predict concurrent and follow-up child
adjustment as well as change in behavior problems over the 6-month period. Specifically, mothers??? control was associated with more behavioral problems among children with high surgency, but fathers??? control appeared to be beneficial for children with low surgency. Moreover, mothers??? structure and fathers??? autonomy support seemed beneficial for children with high negative affectivity, while mothers??? control and mothers??? and fathers??? structure were related to more behavioral problems among children with low negative affectivity.

▼ Introduction: The connection between cancer and psychopathology as regards to depression, anxiety, mood disorders and psychological distress, is an issue of particular research interest, given the psychological burden of oncology patients. The manifestation of psychopathology has a catalytic impact on their quality of life and the functional and psychological adjustment to the disease, thereby influencing the prognosis.Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between distress and functional and psychological adjustment of patients with colon cancer. The ultimate objective is to clarify the clinical context for screening patients at high risk of developing psychopathology and disfunctionality. Appropriate screening would allow early intervention and effective improvement of the patients’ physical and mental health.Methodology: This study is a prospective observational study undertaken in Greece, in a sample of 84 patients with colon cancer of all stages. In order to assess patients’ distress and psychopathology, the Distress Thermometer, HADS and SCL-90-R were applied (preoperatively). The functional and psychological adjustment were measured by means of the FACT-C and MINI-MAC scales, respectively, during surgical follow-up (1 month, 6 months and 1 year after surgery). The correlation between the scales and subscales and the investigation of the effects of demographic and disease characteristics were investigated with appropriate statistical tests.Results: Screening distress in patients with colon cancer is feasible at the cut-off point of 7 of the Distress Thermometer according to HADS, while anxiety and depression levels were found low preoperatively (8.42 and 7.19, respectively in HADS). Distress levels were determined as moderate to high (mean = 5.70) preoperatively, although elevated levels of distress (6-9) were detected for the 54.7% of the sample, cumulatively. Emotional problems have a significant negative impact on perceived distress, since 81.0% of patients feel restlessness, 78,6% nervousness, 70.2% fear and 65.5% sadness. The functional and psychological adjustment of patients under the measurement of FACT-C and MINI-MAC scales had statistically significant improvement in the postoperative period. Important distress risk factors, as far as demographics are concerned, were the female gender, the divorced or widowed status and the younger age. Regarding the disease and its treatment the most important variables were the application of chemotherapy, the advanced stage of the disease and the installation of a colostomy, the latter only concerning functional and psychological adaptation.Conclusions: This research study identified certain factors that are associated with high risk of distress and difficulties in the psychological and functional adjustment to cancer. It is suggested that these factors are taken into consideration for the identification of the high-risk group of patients who are at need of an early psychosocial intervention. In conclusion, the detection of patients with one…
