The stigma associated with mental illness leads to elevated distress and proves to be a hurdle in the path for treatment. The present study aims to assess the effect of gender and type of illness on perceived stigma and self esteem in people with mental illness. A purposive sample of 137 (53 females, 84 males) patients using cross sectional design was collected from Psychiatric Diseases Hospital and De-addiction Centre in Jammu City. The objective of the study was to assess whether there would be significant difference between female and male participants on the dimension of perceived stigma and self esteem; and whether there exists significant difference between people suffering psychotic disorders and those from neurotic disorders on the dimension of perceived stigma and self esteem. Two way Analysis of Variance was carried out. Results indicated significant effect of gender on perceived stigma but not on self esteem. Type of illness had a significant effect on perceived stigma but not on self esteem. Post Hoc test also revealed that the female participants perceived more stigma due to mental illness than males; and people with psychotic disorders perceived stigma more than people with neurotic disorders. While the stigma of having a mental illness can be demeaning in an unsupportive environment, it also reduces the chance of seeking treatment in an attempt to hide the presence of the illness in turn leading to worsening of symptoms. The need of the hour is to psycho-educate masses about mental illness and associated treatment procedures.- Understanding Youth's Personality and Attitude Towards Tourism Development

Tourism is the backbone of Indian economy. It represents the economic, social and cultural development of country. Both the host and guest interaction is vital in understanding the significance of the tourism industry. Tourism development needs the positive cooperation of local communities, travel agents, guides, etc. Core participation of youth will provide a proper glance at the development of tourism industry. The scope is not limited to geographical regions, flora and fauna of the area but the understanding of psychological aspects could be as important as the other measures for the growth of tourism industry. The personality and the attitude of youth would be detrimental in understanding the perspectives of youth regarding their tourism development. Personality is the important variable in shaping the behavior of individuals. The five traits of personality, i.e., extraversion, neuroticism, openness to experiences, agreeableness and conscientiousness are the domains that have a key role in understanding the realms of life. Attitude is a psychological tendency. It is the positive andnegative evaluation of the person. So, this study is an attempt to identity the relationship of personality traits with the attitude of youth towards tourism development. A sample of 60 youths was taken with equal number of males and females. They were subjected to neo five factor inventory and attitude scale. Correlation analysis will be carried out for the present study.Keywords
