Happiness is a choice. Valerie Bertineli, says there's going to be stress in life, but it's your choice whether you let it affect you or not. Happiness is a mental state of well-being characterized by positive emotions ranging from contentment to intensejoy. The way you seethe world and attribute it matters a lot in how you conceive happiness. Julian Rotter, developed the concept of “locus of control”, the degree to which individuals believe they have the ability to control what happens to them (internal) or how much they think that forces beyond their control affect their situation external. The present study is conducted with an objective to evaluate the effect of Integrated Psychotherapy on Happiness and Locus of Control among Institutionalized adolescents.

According to a national study on US youth children in 2021, cyberbullying peaks between the ages of 14 and 15. Cyberbullying is defined as a wilful and repetitive injury caused by computers, mobile phones, and other electronic devices. Bullying's psychological consequences have been proven to be more harmful among children in their early teens. This might be concerning because adolescent growth is critical to developing a healthy personality in maturity. The presence of an Om syllable throughout the Upanishads, Bhagwat Gita, and Vedas elevates it to Hinduism's most significant sacred symbol. Om mediation has been practically proven form to reduce stress and anxiety. Assertiveness training is a sort of behaviour therapy that focuses on strengthening individuals' assertive, self-assured conduct and teaching them a more confident, successful communication style. The present study is conducted with the objective to examine the effect of Multimodal therapy on Cyberbullying and Psychological distress among adolescent students. A total number of 50 adolescent students were identified with the age range of 12-15 years, based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria from the Coimbatore district. The tools used for the study were Kessler's Scale by Kessler KC and Cyberbullying scale by Cigdem Topcu. Paired t-test was conducted for finding the statistical analysis and the result revealed that there is a significant change in the level of Cyberbullying and Psychological distress before and after the intervention. The multimodal therapy intervention is effective in reducing the levels of cyberbullying and psychological distress.
