The Positive Metacognitions and Meta-emotions Questionnaire (PMCEQ) developed by Beer and Moneta (2010) measures adaptive metacognitive beliefs when facing challenging situations. The cultural adaptation of Hindi version of PMCEQ was conducted in 17 to 75 years old (n = 838) Hindi speaking men and women participants of Varanasi city of Uttar Pradesh of India. The psychometric properties of the PMCEQ-H (Hindi version of PMCEQ) indicated good internal consistency with fairly high reliability and little different factor structure than that of original PMCEQ and acceptable construct and convergent validity. The CFA indicated that PMCEQ-H had an adequate and acceptable model fit indicating good construct validity. The three factors extracted were 'Confidence in Setting Flexible and Feasible Hierarchies of Goals (PMCEQ-H 1)', 'Confidence in Interpreting Own Emotions as Cues, Restraining from Immediate Reaction and Mind-Setting for Problem-Solving, (PMCEQ-H2)' and 'Confidence in Extinguishing Perseverative Thoughts and Emotions (PMCEQ-H3)'. The gender and age differences analyses also indicated that the instrument has good predictive validity. The PMCEQ-H1 and PMCEQ-H2 factors correlated positively with satisfaction with life, and all the three factors of PMCEQ-H correlated negatively with negative affect and BDI-II indicating good convergent validity of the instrument, thus, the PMCEQ-H produces a reliable and valid measurement of adaptive metacognitive beliefs in Hindi speaking Indian cultural milieu.Keywords

Objective of this study was to examine the effect of positive meta-cognition and meta-emotions (PMCEQ-H) on satisfaction with life. The study was conducted on 20 to 50 years old 300 (150 men & 150 women) conveniently sampled participants from the Chowk area of Varanasi city of India. The participants were individually administered Hindi versions of: (1) Positive Metacognitions and Meta-emotions Questionnaire (PMCEQ-H; Jaiswal et al., 2017) and (2) Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS; Singh & Rani, 2011). To elucidate the predictability of satisfaction with life by facets of positive metacognitions and meta-emotions and causal effects of positive metacognitions and meta-emotions on satisfaction with life, initially the data were analyzed by stepwise regression analysis with SWLS as criterion variable and facets of PMCEQ-H as predictors variable, and then the data were analyzed by 2 X 2 analysis of variance [2 gender (men & women) X 2 levels of facets of PMCEQ-H (high & low)] to delineate the main and interaction effects of'gender' and levels of facets of PMCEQ-H' on satisfaction with life. The results indicated PMCEQ-H 1 and PMCEQ-H2 significant as significant predictors of life satisfaction. The ANOVA revealed significant main effects of'gender' for PMCEQ-H1 and PMCEQ-H2, and 'levels' of PMCEQ-H1, PMCEQ-H2 and PMCEQ-H3 on satisfaction with life, and significant interaction effects of gender X levels of PMCEQ-H 1 and PMCEQ-H2 on satisfaction with life. Post hoc analyses demonstrated significantly higher satisfaction with life in men than in women with respect to PMCEQ-H 1 and PMCEQ-H2 facets of positive metacognitions and meta-emotions. Moreover, high than low scorer participants on the three facets of PMCEQ-H, displayed significantly higher satisfaction with life. The findings indicated facilitating effects of positive metacognitions and meta-emotions on life satisfaction.Keywords

The Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) developed by Schraw and Dennison (1994) assesses metacognitive awareness of individuals in terms of 'knowledge of metacognitions' and 'regulation of cognitions'. In an attempt to ascertain psychometric adequacy and factor structure of MAI in Indian cultural setting exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed by administering 52 items of MAI on 15 to 17 years old students (n = 326) of English medium School in Roorkee city of Uttrakhand, India. The obtained results indicated good internal consistency with fairly good reliability indices of the two factors extracted and the whole scale and an acceptable construct and convergent validity. However, out of 52 items only 25 items meaningfully loaded on two factors in EFA followed by CFA by AMOS, and the two factors were assigned their original names 'knowledge of cognition' (KC) and 'regulation of cognition' (RC). The CFA indicated that 25-items MAI had an acceptable model fit indicating good construct validity in Indian setting, and the scale was named as 'MAI-short version'. The gender and streams of education differences also demonstrated that the scale has good predictive validity. The KC, RC subscales as well as whole MAI-short version correlated significantly positively with academic grade percentages of the students, however, the 'r' values were low indicating an acceptable convergent validity of the instrument.Keywords

This study was carried out to establish the construct, convergent and predictive validity of Hindi translation of Meta-emotions Scale in Hindi speaking Indian cultural context. For the purpose 16 to 78 years old 1324 men and women participants with High School education from Chowk and adjoining areas of Varanasi city of Uttar Pradesh, India, completed the Hindi version of 28-items Metaemotions Scale (MES). Factor analysis (principal components) on Hindi version of MES (MES-H) by applying Varimex rotation method with the loading equal to or more than 0.400, Eigen value equal to 1.00, and Scree plot suggested two to three factors, and finally, confirmatory factor analysis by AMO Sindicated a two factor model with an acceptable goodness of model fit on 19 items. The content of 10 items of the first factor and 9 items of second factor yielded two behavioral components, i.e., Positive Meta-emotions and Negative Meta-emotions. The psychometric properties of the MES-H demonstrated good internal consistency with acceptable reliability, construct and convergent validity. The gender and age differences analyses also indicated that women manifested significantly higher positive meta-emotions and negative meta-emotions in comparison to men, and older as compared to younger participants demonstrated significantly high levels of positive meta-emotions indicating good predictive validity. These findings indicated that the MES-Hindi may be considered as a reliable and valid measurement of meta-emotions in Hindi speaking Indian cultural context.Keywords

The present study was conducted to elucidate the effects of positive metacognitions and positive meta-emotions on perceived stress in adolescents. The sample consisted of 300 adolescents (150 boys & 150 girls) studying in Standard X and XII in schools of Varanasi city and preparing for competitive examinations. The participants were individually administered Hindi version of Positive Metacognitions and Meta-emotions Questionnaire and Perceived Stress Scale. The participants scoring below and up to 25th percentile and scoring above 75th percentile on the facets of positive metacognitions and positive meta-emotions were respectively designated as low and high scorer participants (boys & girls) were screed out. The effects of levels (low & high) of facets of positive metacognitions and positive meta-emotions on measures of perceived stress (uncontrollable perceived stress & controllable perceived stress) were analysed by applying 2 × 2 ANOVA (2 genders × 2 levels of facets of positive metacognitions and positive meta-emotions). Results revealed significant main effects of gender on uncontrollable perceived stress with respect to PMCEQ-H1 facet of positive metacognitions and positive meta-emotions and significant main effects of levels of PMCEQ-H3 and PMCEQ-H Total facets of positive metacognitions and positive meat-emotions on uncontrollable perceived stress and significant main effects of levels of PMCEQ-H1, PMCEQ-H2 and PMCEQ-H Total on controllable perceived stress. Boys as compared to girls exhibited enhanced uncontrolled perceived stress with respect to PMCEQ-H1. High scorer than low scorer participants on facets of PMCEQ-H displayed significantly lower levels of uncontrollable perceived stress and controllable perceived stress. The findings indicated that high levels of positive metacognitions and positive meta-emotions caused reduced uncontrollable and controllable perceived stress.

The present study was planned to explore the effects of positive metacognitions and positive meta-emotions in marital communication. The sample consisted of 300 married couples (300 husbands and 300 wives) chosen from Chowk and adjoining areas of Varanasi city of Uttar Pradesh, India. The participants were individually administered Hindi version of Positive Metacognitions and Positive Meta-emotions Questionnaire and Marital Communication Inventory. The participants falling below Mean-1SD and above Mean+1SD on the facets of positive metacognitions and meta-emotions were respectively designated as low and high scorer participants (husbands & wives) were screed out. The effects of levels (low & high) of positive metacognitions and meta-emotions on marital communications (supportive & aversive) were analyzed by applying 2 × 2 ANOVA (2 spouses × 2 levels of facets of positive metacognitions & positive meta-emotions). Results revealed non-significant main effects of spouses on supportive and aversive communications, and significant main effects of levels of PMCEQ-H1, PMCEQ-H2 and PMCEQ-H3 on supportive and aversive communications, except non-significant main effect of levels of PMCEQ- H3 on supportive communication. Participants who scored higher on the PMCEQ-H aspects exhibited significantly higher levels of supportive communication and lower levels of aversive communication than participants who scored lower. The results showed that more supporting communication and lower aversive communication were both caused by high levels of positive metacognitions and positive meta-emotions, respectively.
