Parental rearing behaviour is a significant etiological factor in a vulnerability model of psychopathology and connected to child' psycho-social development and social problems as such, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between perceived parenting rearing styles and satisfaction with life in adult Indian married couples. Therefore, psychoanalytically validated Hindi version of instruments for the assessment of the perceived parental rearing styles (PPRSQ) and satisfaction with life scale (SWLS) were administered on a sample of 600 married Indian Hindi speaking couple which included 50 % male and 50 % female persons with 10 to 20 years of mamed life. The instruments were filled out by the participants. The results of step wise (backward) regression analysts revealed: (i) the four factors of PPRSQ (parental rejection, emotional warmth, over protection and favouring subject)predicted(a)a total of 8.371% of variance,(b)rejection,emotional warmth and favouring subject (deleting over protection factor) predicted a total of 8.318% of variance, (c) emotional warmth and favouring subject together (deleting rejection and over protection factors) predicted a total of 8.201% of variance, and (d) emotional warmth (deleting rejection, over protection and favouring subject factors) predicted a total of 8.140% of variance of life satisfaction. In summary, the findings proved an association between recalled parental rearing styles and life satisfaction in Indian cultural context.Keywords

Behavioural teratological effects of prenatal fluoxetine exposure were investigated on behavioural despair and learned helplessness parameters of depression in rats. Pregnant rats were administered fluoxetine (5 and 10 mg/kg/day) orally once a day during the gestation days 13 to 20. The pups born were subjected to forced swimming test of behavioural despair and learned helplessness test at 8 weeks of age. The results indicated that prenatal fluoxetine treatment (5 and 10 mg/kg/day) induced significant increase in time of immobility in forced swimming test and number of escape failures in learned helplessness test in rat offspring. Rat offspring treated with 5 and 10 mg/kg fluoxetine during the prenatal period displayed dose dependent significant increase in time of immobility in behavioural despair test and number of escape failures in learned helplessness test in comparison to control rat offspring. The findings highlight that prenatal fluoxetine treatment caused depressive like behavioural alterations in the rat offspring.Keywords

Pregnant rats were administered sodium valproate (12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg/day) orally once daily during the gestation days 13 to 20. Maternal sodium valproate treatment produced a dose dependent significant reduction in litter size at birth and reduced body growth during postnatal days. Sodium valproate treatment had no significant effect on maternal weight gain during pregnancy and pups mortality during postnatal period. The pups born were subjected to open-field exploratory behaviour and elevated plus maze tests of anxiety at 8 and 9 weeks of age. Prenatal sodium valproate treatment (12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg/day) induced significant increase in open-field ambulation, rearings and self-grooming in rat offspring. Prenatal sodium valproate treated rat offspring displayed significantly increased anxiogenic behaviour on elevated plus maze (spent less time on open arms, more time on enclosed arms and made fewer number of entries on open arms) comparison to control rat offspring. The results suggest that prenatal sodium valproate exposure induces neurobehavioural toxicity and indicate persistent behavioural alterations in the rat offspring.Keywords

Behavioural teratological effects of prenatal clobazam exposure were investigated on anxiety parameters in rats. Pregnant rats were administered clobazam (0.5, 1, 2 and 5 mg/kg/day) orally once a day during the gestation days 13 to 20. The pups born were subjected to open-field exploratory behaviour, elevated plus maze and elevated zero maze tests at 8 weeks of age. The results indicated that prenatal clobazam treatment (0.5, 1, 2 and 5 mg/kg/day) induced significant increase in open-field ambulation, rearings and self-grooming in rat offspring. Rat offspring treated with different doses of clobazam during the prenatal period displayed dose dependent significant increase in anxiogenic behaviour patterns on elevated plus maze and elevated zero maze in comparison to control rat offspring. The findings highlight that prenatal clobazam treatment induced persistent behavioural alterations on anxiety parameters in the rat offspring.Keywords

Emotions play key role in families functioning and mantalUfe. Thus, emotional maturity may be considered a basis in marital adjustment and a happy marital life. As such, the present study is an attempt to understand the relationship between marital adjustment and emotional maturity in Indian cultural context. For this purpose hundred (100) couples (husband & wife) with at least graduation quahfication from Varanasi district of Uttar Pradesh were randomly sampled to check the predictability of the various measures of quahty of marital hfe (marital consensus, affectionexpression, marital satisfaction, marital cohesion,& overall marital adjustment), each measure at a time as criterion (dependent variable) by the facets of 'emotional maturity' (emotional unstability, emotional regression, social maladjustment, personality disintegration & lack of independence) as predictors (independent variables). Step wise (back ward) regression analysis was applied and results revealed that emotional unstability, social maladjustment and personality disintegration facets of emotional maturity most predicted the overall marital adjustment in married couples.Keywords

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 positive metacognitions and meta-emotions measured by PMCEQ measures adaptive metacognitive beliefs people hold about their own cognitive and emotional processes. The study aimed to examine the independent and interaction effects of 'gender' (men & women) and 'levels (low & high) of facets of positive metacognitions and meta-emotions' on marital consensus, affectional expression, marital cohesion, marital satisfaction and overall marital adjustment. For this purpose, 318 spouses (159 husbands & 159 wives) were purposively sampled and were individually administered PMCEQ-H (the Hindi version of Positive Metacognitions & Meta-emotions Questionnaire; PMCEQ) and Marital Adjustment Scale (MAS). The participants falling below M 1SD and above M + 1SD on PMCEQ-H1, PMCEQ-H2 and PMCEQ-H3 factors of PMCEQ-H (respectively referred to as low & high scorers), besides the 'gender' (men & women) variables, were screened out. The 2 x 2 ANOVA (2 gender x 2 levels of facets of PMCEQ-H) performed on the scores of the facets of marital adjustment revealed non-significant main effect of'gender' and interaction effect of 'gender X levels of facets of PMCEQ-H' on all measures of marital adjustment, and significant main effect of (i)levels of PMCEQ-H' on marital satisfaction, affectional expression and overall marital adjustment, (ii) 'levels of PMCEQ-H2' on marital cohesion, marital satisfaction, and overall marital adjustment, and (iii)levels of PMCEQ-H3' for marital consensus and overall marital adjustment; and high as compared to the low scorers on PMCEQ-H1, PMCEQ-H2, and PMCEQ-H3 manifested significantly higher indices on overall adjustment. The findings demonstrated that high level of positive metacognitions and meta-emotions manifest significantly better marital adjustment in married couples.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

This study was carried out to establish the construct, convergent and predictive validity of Hindi version of Marital Communication Inventory (MCI) in Indian cultural settings. For this purpose three hundred married couples with at least graduation qualification were sampled from Varanasi city of Uttar Pradesh following a multistage sampling procedure. All participants completed the Hindi versions of Marital Communication Inventory (MCI), Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS-H) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS-H).Principal components analysis of MCIHindi items yielded two factors with eigen value greater than 1.00. Factors rotated with Varimax criterion were identified as Supportive Communication comprising 12 items and Aversive Communication consisting of 13 items. The confirmatory factor analysis revealed an adequate model fit of two factors on 25 items. The psychometric properties of the MCI-H manifested good internal consistency with fairly high reliability and acceptable construct and convergent validity. Supportive Communication factor showed positive correlation with measures of dyadic adjustment as measured by DAS-H (dyadic consensus, dyadic cohesion, dyadic satisfaction & DAS Total) and satisfaction with life scale while Aversive Communication factor correlated with all these measures negatively. Moreover, no significant gender (husbands versus wives) and age (younger & older spouses) differences appeared for both supportive communication and aversive communication. The findings indicated that the instrument has adequate construct, convergent and predictive validity, thus, the MCI-Hmay be regarded as reliable and valid measure of marital communication for Hindi speaking Indian married couples.Keywords

The current study examined how men's and women's positive thoughts and negative suicidal thoughts were affected by metacognitions. 300 men and women from Chowk and nearby neighbourhoods of Varanasi city of Uttar Pradesh, India, made up the sample. The participants were individually administered Hindi versions of Metacognitions Questionnaire and Positive and Negative Suicide Inventory. Low and high scorer participants (men & women) were defined as those scoring below and up to the 25th percentile and above the 75th percentile on the facets of metacognitions, respectively. By using a 2 × 2 ANOVA (2 genders × 2 levels of facets of metacognitions), the effects of levels (low & high) of metacognitions on measures of PANSI (positive ideation & negative suicide ideation) were examined. The effects of levels (low & high) of facets of metacognitions on measures of PANSI (positive ideation & negative suicide ideation) were analysed by applying 2 × 2 ANOVA (2 genders × 2 levels of facets of metacognitions). Results revealed significant main effects of gender on positive ideation with respect to positive beliefs, cognitive confidence, uncontrollability and danger, and MCQ-H, and on negative suicide ideation with respect to positive beliefs, SPR and MCQ-H Total, and significant main effects of levels of positive beliefs, uncontrollability and danger, SPR on positive ideation, and levels of positive beliefs, cognitive confidence, uncontrollability and danger, MCQ-H Total facets metacognitions on negative suicide ideation; and significant interaction effects of 'Gender × levels of positive beliefs on positive ideation, and significant interaction effects of Gender × levels of positive beliefs, SPR and MCQ-H Total on negative suicide ideation. These results indicated that men as compared to women displayed significantly higher positive ideation and lower negative suicide ideation, and high as compared to low levels of facets of metacognitions caused significantly higher negative suicide ideation and lesser positive ideation. Analysis of significant interaction effects indicated that high than low levels of facets of metacognitions significantly enhanced negative suicide ideation and lowered positive ideation in women than in men.- Effects of Positive Metacognitions and Positive Meta-emotions on Perceived Stress in Adolescents

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.
