Research in resilience has evolved slowly over time. The research done on resilience over the last five decades lacks the cultural sensitivity as well as how the community impacts the process of resilience (Ungar, 2004, 2005; Boyden & Mann, 2005). The study has primarily investigated the mainstream western population's individual understanding of healthy functioning. Thus, there is a gap in knowledge regarding cross-cultural validation of the findings and rigorous qualitative inquiries into the factors; that might be associated with resilience in the context of non-western communities and marginalized groups living among their 'conventional' neighbours in western settings. This review aims to analyse the current resilience research done in India and to formulate a culturally appropriate model of resilience for the population. Out of 86 relevant publications first identified through systematic search on several data bases, 8 studies were finalized and went through inductive thematic analysis of the content relevant to research questions. Following the analysis process, detailed analytical themes and final characteristics of the resilience model were established. The results show that resilience remains an amorphous concept that is affected by both individual and social influences. However, there are some clear and well-established global elements that transcend the bounds of culture. Incorporation of social and psychological inquiry is recommended for future research.Keywords

Flow is a state of entire immersion in the present action, which can lead to effortless and joyful performances. The primary objective of this systematic literature review was directed toward comprehending the meaning of flow in students' everyday activities, analysing the link between flow and intrinsic motivation, investigating variables that impact the occurrence of flow, and investigating how flow is achieved. In order to achieve the decided objectives, a PRISMA directed systematic review was conducted in April 2022 to examine the empirical evidence for a flow intrinsic motivation relationship, factors contributing to the enhancement of the flow state and intrinsic motives in students. Peer-reviewed publications that analysed the association between flow and intrinsic motivation in education and the learning domain were explored for using three online databases of Scopus, PubMed, and JSTOR with the same search strings. A total of eight publications fulfilled the inclusion criteria, consisting of 15 studies that were suitable for thematic analysis. The eligibility of the selected studies to be included in the study was done using the Qualysyst Tool, which yielded a cut-off summary score of 0.80 and above. These 8 studies were further studied for thematic analysis. The results depicted a strong positive correlation between the states of intrinsic motivation and experience of the flow situation. It was also established that the balance of complexities and skills, as well as immersion in the task, including explicitly stated goals and timely feedback, create the way for a flow experience.

Humour is one of the mesmerizing qualities possessed by human beings which provides a positive and funny outlook towards the stressful events that take place in one's life, making the coping process efficient. According to the studies conducted earlier, humour has been conceptualized as a multi-faceted construct, with adaptive and maladaptive styles of humour. The affiliative and self-enhancing styles of humour have been studied to be beneficial for mental health. Whereas, the aggressive and self-defeating styles of humour are considered to be detrimental to it. This research theorized that there is an association between the styles of humour and the types of self-esteem, which has been supported by various studies. The findings indicate that both types of self-esteem are positively associated with the self-enhancing and affiliative styles of humour and negatively associated with self-defeating humour. The possible positive relation between aggressive style of humour and explicit self-esteem is also discussed along with the implication of humour in various fields.

This study aimed to investigate the mean difference in well-being of young adults, student population of India. This study also looked at the social support's partial mediating role between resilience and well-being (total effect=1.1674), in a sample of young adults in India (N = 202). The results have shown significant mean differences based on gender (0.024) and level of education (0.033). Through Pearson's R correlation, we found a positive relationship between resilience and well-being (0.402), well-being and social support (0.401) and social support and resilience (0.147). All three relations were significant at 0.05 level of significance. The results show that wellbeing is positively influenced by the level of education. Between the genders, females experience a higher effect and level of well-being, through education given similar circumstances. The study highlights the need for exploratory research regarding influence of education on well-being, along with the need for empirical research on the relationship between resilience, well-being, and perceived social support.Keywords

Spirituality, which has recently gained popularity in psychology, is empirically proven to play a significant part in the well-being of an individual. Children, who are naturally curious and exploring nature have gained researcher’s attention. And the history of research on childhood spirituality has had mixed outcomes. Despite that, a lot of evidence points to a child’s spirituality playing a significant part throughout their developmental process. This paper critically reviews the existing research and provides an overview of childhood spirituality and its relation to developmental aspects of their lives. Further, it is suggested to adapt a purely spiritual lens to study childhood spirituality, along with clearly defined research methods. Additionally, spirituality is relatively a vague concept. Attempts should be made to explain the concept in a more precise manner.Keywords
