The focus of present research is to find out effect of duration of sleep on personality and stress in professional students. A total of six hundred and eighty students, aged 20 to 25 years participated in this research. Purposive sampling technique was applied to select the subject. The groups were formed on the basis of duration of sleep e.g. long sleepers (more than nine hours out of twenty four hours) and short sleepers (less than six or fewer hours out of twenty four hours) and type of course e.g. professional courses (B.Tech., MBA, B. Pharma). These are independent variables manipulated through selection. The nonprofessional group was taken to compare with professional group. A self biographical sheet, Multi- dimensional assessment of personality (MAP-A) and Hassles Scale (Lazarus and Folkman, 1981) were used for the purpose of data collection. In order to find out the significant difference among the groups, analysts of variance (ANOVA) was used. Duration of sleep and course offered by students both produce the significant effect on several dimensions of personality and stress level of students. The results are discussed in the light of previous researches. Students should get sufficient sleep for restoration of physical and mental function.

This study investigated the effect of intervention program on manic depressive psychotic patients. Sample consisted of two female patients suffering from manic- depressive psychosis (diagnosed by psychiatrist in mental hospital). The patients were taken from Mental Hospital, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. This study was planned to investigate social awareness and personal hygiene in both patients. Twenty- four sessions were planned (two sessions per week) for the intervention. An action plan was made according to which intervention program was supposed to proceed along with the medicines. The action plan was divided into two phases. The first phase was observation phase which include the observation of the initial condition prevailing among the patients in the ward while the second phase included the therapy session. For social awareness the group activity (group exercise, group singing&group activities like making cards, coloring & competitions) was organized. A group of 10 patients was formed and these patients were included in that group. To improve the personal hygiene area the patients were instructed to brush daily, to take bath, to wash hands before taking food and to change their dress daily. If the patient had done it then they were reinforced by encouragement and token (some candies). Considerable changes were found in both patients after the intervention program.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

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
