College life is a transitional period which offers challenges and opportunities for cementing healthy lifestyle behaviour in students. The transition that young people make between school and university is for many an exciting, yet challenging time. These challenges may enhance or deteriorate their well-being depending on individual character strengths. The present study was designed on correlation pattern to appraise the contribution of positive concomitant factors, mindfulness and wisdom to the well-being of first year college students. Linear regression analysis was conducted to find contribution of these variables in predicting well-being. The sample of the study consisted of hundred first year students (male and female) of various faculties from different colleges. The scales used for assessment were General Well-Being Scale (Dupuy, 1978), Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (Brown,&Ryan, 2003) and 3-D Wisdom Scale (Ardelt, 2003). The results of correlation analysis showed that there exist a significant positive correlation of mindfulness (r = 0.445) and wisdom (r = 0.313) with well-being. Evaluation of regression analysis showed that reflective dimension of wisdom and mindfulness are good predictors of well-being. Further research is required for detailed and widespread investigation of practical implication of results of the study.Keywords

A case study in manufacturing giant attempts to capture how potential effectiveness of a role is psychologically tuned along ten dimensions on which efficacy of an employee is defined. Further, how position, age and tenure of employment interact with role efficacy. A combination of quantitative and qualitative approach is followed, where n=28. Managers are seen as leaders and act like role models for the subordinates. Further, managers are high on helping relationship. Both see an opportunity for personal growth in their role. Self-role integration is lesser in managers than subordinates. Subordinates are found to be more reactive. Confrontation is greater for subordinates than managers. Elders are strong on dimensions common to achievers and youngest seems to have politics. Longer tenures exhibits more helping attitude and more confrontation than with smaller tenures. Thus, the dynamism between position, age and tenure seems to have an effect on role-efficacy.Keywords
