Breast cancer triggers wide range of adverse psychological conditions; both as emotional reactions to the disease and as the side effects of the treatment modules. Factors like pain, nausea, vomiting, decreased sleep are natural side effects of the cancer treatment, but when it comes with psychological reactions such as anger, hopelessness, helplessness, anxiety, depression, fear of relapse, the journey through the disease course becomes unbearable.

The advent of technology has brought about marked changes in the traditional structure of teams; face- to- face teams are supplemented with another kind of team, which is now known as virtual team. Humans have been collaborating across geographical boundaries for thousands of years, a phenomenon that is bringing the world closer, making work easier yet which is both problematic and complicated. Global organizations see benefits of collaboration across distance as a mean of providing focused attention to complex problems without physically relocating individuals. The objective of this study is to compare the face- to- face teams and virtual teams on the basis of motivation and team effectiveness. The relationship between motivation and team effectiveness, in these two types of set up has also been studied. The total sample size is 100, equally distributed in two types of teams face to face (n=50) and virtual teams (n=50) respectively. Motivational Analysis of Organization Behaviour (2002) and Team Effectiveness Scale (1997) developed by Udai Pareek were administered on the employees belonging to two different types of teams from various IT sector companies in Kolkata. Results revealed a significant difference between face to face and virtual teams on all the dimensions of motivation, except for achievement motivation. Achievement motivation seems to be not affected by the difference in space and time. The location of members and their interaction with each other produce motivation of dependence, control, efferent, affiliation and influence on the team members. A significant relationship between affiliation motivation and team effectiveness in face to face teams was found.Keywords

Psoriasis and Vitiligo are not just dermatological conditions. They are chronic skin diseases, which have far reaching effects on the overall quality of life of the individuals suffering from it. The present study throws light on some of the psychological impact caused by these skin conditions. In this study a group of skin disease free individuals (Group-I) are compared with psoriasis (Group-II) and Vitiligo (Group-III) sufferers using Cognitive Distortions Scale (Briere, 1997), The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988b) The Dean's Alienation Scale (Dean, 1961). The two skin conditions (Group II and III) are also compared to see the difference, if any, in their psychological profile. Results indicate that there exists a significant difference amongst the three groups with respect to Cognitive Distortions dimensions, Alienation dimensions of powerlessness and normlessness and Affect dimensions of positive and negative affect.Keywords
