The present study was undertaken to explore the effect of ICBT on alienation among individuals with depression of Type A/B personality types, for which 2x2x2 factorial design was made. The selected sample of 80 subjects of 18-40 years of age was equally divided on the basis of personality types and gender. The stratified random sampling was used for sample selection. ADSS scale developed by Pallavi Bhatnagar (2011) was administered for screening. Type A/B Behavioural pattern scale developed by Upinder Dhar and Manisha Jain (2001) was employed to measure personality types. For measuring Alienation Al- Scale (2010) developed by Hardeo Ojha was used. Each subject was introduced to internet based CBT intervention. Pre and post test were followed to measure the effect of ICBT on depression, and alienation. After data collection statistical analysis was done. The t-test and ANOVA was utilised to examine the outcome of the study. Results revealed that Type A and Type B personality differ significantly after ICBT intervention on depression and alienation. This difference was found to be higher on depression and alienation after ICBT intervention of subjects with type A personality. Results also revealed that male and female subjects differ significantly after ICBT intervention on depression and alienation. Pre post intervention on depression and alienation scores was also found to differ significantly.

Abstract


The present study was undertaken to explore the effect of ICBT on alienation among individuals with depression of Type A/B personality types, for which 2x2x2 factorial design was made. The selected sample of 80 subjects of 18-40 years of age was equally divided on the basis of personality types and gender. The stratified random sampling was used for sample selection. ADSS scale developed by Pallavi Bhatnagar (2011) was administered for screening. Type A/B Behavioural pattern scale developed by Upinder Dhar and Manisha Jain (2001) was employed to measure personality types. For measuring Alienation Al- Scale (2010) developed by Hardeo Ojha was used. Each subject was introduced to internet based CBT intervention. Pre and post test were followed to measure the effect of ICBT on depression, and alienation. After data collection statistical analysis was done. The t-test and ANOVA was utilised to examine the outcome of the study. Results revealed that Type A and Type B personality differ significantly after ICBT intervention on depression and alienation. This difference was found to be higher on depression and alienation after ICBT intervention of subjects with type A personality. Results also revealed that male and female subjects differ significantly after ICBT intervention on depression and alienation. Pre post intervention on depression and alienation scores was also found to differ significantly.
