I amhappy toknow that theDepartment of Psychology, PostGraduate Government
College, Sector 46, Chandigarh is organizing a two day INDIAN PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE
CONGRESS on 5-6 October, 2012 on "Psychological Well Being : Building Bridges for
Tomorrow".
Psychology is the study of the psyche or mind. In addition to information, the mind
constantly processes thoughts and emotions. An individual's behavior is influenced by the
mind's perception of stimuli received via the five senses. Something that was said, heard,seen, touched or smelled is interpreted and initiates a reaction. Psychologists study the
impactof themind onthebody, which ismanifested bybehavior.
Psychology well-being is much more multi-dimensional than simply being just
happy, healthy or successful. Psychological well being is a concept that encompasses a
well-rounded, balanced and comprehensive experience of life. It includes health in social
physical, mental, emotional, career and spiritual domains. When thingsare not going right
inallof these areasweprobablyare notexperiencing asmuch joy, serenityand aswecould
beandmay be experiencing greaterstress,worry andanxiety.
I am sure that the Congress will also focus on the areas to increase psychological
well-being. I wish theCongressandOrganizesa greatsuccess.

I feel immensely honoured to be associated to the National Association of
Psychological Science and also as Member of the NationalOrganizing Committee of Indian
Psychological Science Congress, 2012 - on "Psychological Wellbeing : Building Bridges for
Tomorrow" - the subject extracts a very contextual issue which if addressed and
appreciated in theright perspective can help increationofprogressivethoughts,rendering
a felling of confidence and wellbeing, mutual respect, happiness and satisfaction.
Psychological Wellbeing is must not only for an individual but for the entire family, for the
entire society andthesame is possible when there is minimal conformation andmaximum
coordination, cooperation and cohesion. The present conference, thus is dealing with a
very important issue and the success of it is purely when the true bridges develop to bring
an understandingandsimultaneouslyreducingtheoccurrence of negativeeventsof life.
Ex-President Dr. Abdul Kalam has rightly said while addressing his international
counterparts that 'a peaceful mind makes a happy person, a happy person creates an
integratedsociety, whichtogetherbuilds a healthynation.
Thedelegates would cherish pleasant memories of themeaningful event andI wish
the discussions in the conference will instill every participant, researcher and academician
thesense of true wellbeing.
I extend my heartiest greetings to the participants and congratulate theDepartment of Psychology, PG Government College, Chandigarh for organizing this

The National Association of Psychological Science, in collaboration with the
Department of Psychology, P.G. Govt. College, Sector-46, Chandigarh has the pleasure to
invite you to join 2 Indian Psychological Science Congress (IPSC) on 5 and 6 October,
2012.
Psychological processes are internal; they include thoughts, feelings, emotions,understanding and perception. Social processes are external; they are comprised of social
networks, community, family and environment. It is important to remember that what
happens in one of these areas will affect aspects of the others. How we are feeling
internally affects how we relate to the environment around us. Similarly, our traditions,
customs, and community affect how we feel. The materials, biological and psychosocial
aspects of well-being are integrally related, and it is not helpful to try to separate them in
programme development.
Wellbeing in the contemporary world is an area which needs urgent attention. It is
oneofthemain areasofapplied psychology andit uses psychologicalprinciples topromote
well being in the society. Well-being depends on many factors. The overlapping circlessuggest that individual and collective well-being depends on what happens in a variety of
areas, that meeting at least some minimal level of need in each of these areas is necessary,
andthattheseareasare tosome extentinterrelated.
Psychologists focus on understanding and treating the social, psychological,
emotional, spiritual, quality of life and functional aspects of health and well being. It is a
whole-person approach to health care that addresses a range of very human needs that
can improvequality of life.
We feel honoured to welcome all the delegates to the 2 IPSC-2012 and have
special word of gratitude for Professor N.K. Chadha, Department of Psychology, Delhi
University, Delhi the keynote speaker and Professor Mudita Rastogi, Department ofPsychology, Illinois University, Chicago for organizing workshop and the chief resource

The present study was an attempt to examine the impact of residential setting and
gender on intimate relationships, self consciousness and self disclosure among
undergraduate students of University of Delhi. Delhi being the capital of India with good
infrastructure and transport facilities is an alternative destination for out-station students
from the North-east to Kashmir. The sample consisted of 80 students categorized into 4
groups A1 (Delhi Males), A2 (Delhi Females), B1 (Out-station Males) and B2 (Out-station
Females); where Delhi males and Delhi females refer to those students whose residential
base is Delhi and they are studying courses in University of Delhi and Out-station males and
Out-station females refer to those students who have come to study in University of Delhi
from some other parts of the country. Each group comprised of 20 students. The

Anxiety and Parental Satisfaction during
Transition to Parenthood
Parenthood is often considered a periodof greatstress andchangein thecouple life
cycle. The adult mental health has a great importance in this adaptation process and
perceived satisfaction with parenthood is influenced by psychological well-being of both
elements of the dyad. This study will focus on understanding how the anxiety experiencedby parents is related to the perception of satisfaction (benefits and costs) during this
period. If all the members of the triad are at risk of psychological problems when the adult
mental health and marital relationship are affected (Prevatt, F. 2003) is crucial to study the
mechanisms by which all these variablesare interrelated andinterferein theadjustment of
parenthood (Cummings, E. M., Davies, P. T., & Campbell, S. B. 2000; Gaylord, N. K.,
Kitzmann, K.M., & Coleman,J. K.2003).
1) study the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms during the
transition in men and women, and 2) examine the differential impact of stress in parental
satisfaction in mothers and fathers. Method: 100 Portuguese couples first time parents,
filled to the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and the Parental Comparison Level Index (PCLI)between thefirst andsecond baby'syear.
It is expected that the perception of greater satisfaction with parenting is
associated with no significant levels of psychopathological symptoms. Thus couples
mental health acting as a protective factor for this period of life not only for the couple but
also for thebaby.
Reduce parental stressmay be animportant strategy toavoidthepotentialnegative

*Dr Anita Sharma **Dr Rakesh Parihar
Abstract
This experimental research examined the effects of yogic exercises programme on
the concentration and academic achievement of high school students. A representative
sample of 200 students (100 males and 100 females) of high school level was drawn
randomlyfrom twohigh schools andwere further divided into two groups i.e.experimentaland control group each consisting of equal number of males and females. Yogic exercises
were given to the experimental group for a period of three months. The control group was
not exposed to the yogic training. A factorial design of 2x2x (2) with repeated measure on
thelast factor was employed to see thesignificance of difference between different means
of experimental and control group in both the genders. Results indicated that
concentration was improved significantly and thereby improved the academic
performance of the students significantly for the experimental group irrespective of
gender. The study has important implications for school students for employing yogic
exercises in theirschool curriculum.

Perceived Quality of Life of Construction Labourers
*Anupama Srivastava **Pallavi Bhatnaga
Abstract
Quality of life refers to satisfaction, well-being and happiness of the individual. It
also serves as a parameter of development. The present study aimed to explore gender
differences in perceived quality of life of rural migrants working as unskilled construction
labourers in urban areas. Quality of Life Scale by Srivastava and Bhatnagar (1996) was
administered on 100 labourers. The results indicated significant gender differences inquality of life of construction labourers. It was also found that long working hours,
dissatisfaction with wages and discriminatory wages, harsh working conditions
characterized by absence of facilities adversely affect their quality of work life. The
labourers want material well- being and either delay fulfilment of their needs or have to
take loans to meet their needs. There is also unwillingness about vocational training or
further skill upgradation. Further women workers are more vulnerable as most of them do
not have a say in taking decisions of the house. All these factors lower the personal quality
of life of the labourers. Based on the above findings, the authors suggest ways to improve
quality of life of the construction labourers. Quality of life therapy, optimism training andrelationship enhancing interventions are particularly useful for promoting their well being
andhappiness.

Parental and Peer Attachment Influencing Identity
Formation and Adjustment During Adolescence
Daisy Sharma
Abstract
Adolescenceis a time ofturmoil andchange. Theadolescentsfacephysiologicaland
psychosocial developmental challenges including forming an identity, becoming more
independent and establishing peer group relationships. Also, it is the time when
adolescents are at greater risk for problem behaviors. Researches in the last few decades
have confirmed attachments as facilitating identity formation and adjustment process ofadolescents. For the present research, it was hypothesized that the adolescent's
attachment experiencesmay serve as a catalyst for identity andaffect adjustment process.
Also, themediational role of attachment in theidentity andadjustment of adolescents was
studied. Data was collected from a sample of 600 adolescents from various schools and
colleges of Jalandhar (Punjab, India). Pearson Product Moment Correlations were found to
see the interrelationship of these variables and Hierarchical multiple regression was
applied as statistical techniquetoassessthemediationalrole of attachments in theidentity
and adjustment of adolescents. The parental and peer attachment variables of trust and
communication werepositively correlated with identity achievement and moratorium and
adjustment variables and negatively correlated with alienation. Alienation was positively
correlated with identity diffusion. The results suggested differences in the pattern of
relationship of foreclosure with attachment across age which has been discussed in details
intheresearchpaper. TheHMRresultsproved themediationalroleof attachment(parental
and peer) in the identity statuses (identity achievement, moratorium, foreclosure and
diffusion) andadjustment of adolescents.

Abstract
Gender Differences in Self Esteem among Institutionalisedand Non Institutionalised Elderly
Old age consists of ages nearing or surpassing the average life span of human
beings, and thus the end of the human life cycle. The age of 60 or 65, roughly equivalent to
retirement ages in most developed countries is said to be the beginning of old age. Self-
esteemis thedegreeto which onevalues oneself. Self-esteemis an important aspectof the
adaptiveprocesses atallstages of life, butespecially in older adults. It is linked tothequality
of adaptation, well-being, life satisfaction andhealth. Stressful events like death of friends,
spouse and family, deterioration of health and physical ability, loneliness or depression,
Retirement, role reversal and dependency on their children can decrease self esteem in
elderly. Some of the ways in which elderly can be helped to regain their self-esteem is by
giving emotional support, adequate medical attention, to spend their time in the company
oftheir grandchildren and encourage themtomeettheir friends and totalk of the old times
The study aims to find gender differences in self esteem among institutionalised and non
institutionalised elderly. Thesampleconsistedof 120institutionalised elderly and120non-
institutionalised elderly who were further divided into 60 male and 60 female elderly inboth the sectors. Index of self esteem developed by Hudson consisting of 25 items was
administered to the sample. The data thus collected was statistically analyzed using two
way ANOVA. Results revealed that institutionalized elderly have higher self esteem
compared to non institutionalised elderly. Institutionalised male and institutionalised
female elderly have betterself esteem compared to Non-institutionalised male andfemale
elderly. Overallmale andfemale elderly donotdiffer intheirself esteem.

Conclusions:
SavantSyndrome(SS) ischaracterized bya remarkable ability ina specific area
which exists in the background of a global intellectual impairment. One of the most
common manifestations of SS are Calendrical Savants- individuals who have outstanding
calendrical memory and can tell the day of the week for any given date in the past. With
remarkable memory in one specific area, understanding a comprehensive
neuropsychological profile of these individuals would provide important insights in the
mechanismandtheprocessesinvolved.
To study the neuropsychological profile of an individual diagnosed with Savant
Syndrome.
Methodology: A single case study approach was used. S.P, a 19 year old female diagnosed
with Savant Syndrome, who showed remarkable calendrical memory was referred by a
Psychiatrist. She was assessed on NIMHANS neuropsychological battery and a profile of
variousexecutive functionswascomputed.
Neuropsychological assessment showed impairments in sustained attention,
categoryfluency, designfluency andvisuo-spatialworkingmemory.The neuropsychological profile indicates deficits in visuo-spatial working
memory and fluency which indicates that the possible mechanism used to calculate the
days for dates in the past does not possibly involve working memory. The possible
mechanisms that could explain their remarkable calendrical ability would be discussed in
the presentation.

epilepsyare unmarried. 63percent PWEare HindusfollowedbyMuslimand Christian.First
seziur: about 35 percent patients had the first episode of seizure between 16 to 20 years
followed by 30 percent between 11 and 15 years. 20.7 percent felt first seizure when they
below 5 years and 15.5 percent patients mentioned about first seizure when they between
6 and 10 years of age. Duration of Suffering: The duration of epilepsy suffering among the
people with epilepsy reveals about 39.7 percent patients suffered for the five years,
followed by 29.3 percent for the six toten years. The patients suffered for 11 to15 years are

Abstract
The Effect on Quality of Life of Hearing Impaired Individual theEffects of Aural Rehabilitation Program on Quality of and
Life of Hearing Impaired
Communication is an essential need for any person which requires good hearing
ability, perception and speech. If anything in this chain disrupts effective communication
doesn't occur. The present investigation is undertaken to examine quality of life in relation
to perceived social isolation and learned helplessness in hearing impaired individuals and
plan intervention for them so that a counseling-based aural rehabilitation program could
enhance QOL of hearing impaired by reducing their learned helplessness and perceived
social isolation. Quality of life has been defined in macro (societal, objective) and micro
(individual, subjective) terms (Rosenberg 1992; Bowling 1995a; 1995b; 1996; Bowling and
Windsor 2001.It is affected by different factors like personality and coping style,
socioculture factors which includes work stress, interpersonal factors like interpersonal
support, health related problems like hearing impairment, blindness, physical and
physiological problems.
Adverse effects on physical, cognitive,
emotional, behavioral and social functions can be observed due to hearing impairment
(Hodkinson, 1973; Ries, 1982).Social isolation refers to objective physical separation from
other people (Ernst & Cacioppo, 1999). Absence of social support leads to perceived social
isolation in hearing impaired individuals. It canbe observed that there is emotional trauma
of hearing lossgiving a sense of perceived isolation. Mostof the deafare excluded from the
rest of society because of hindrances in their communication. Learned helplessness is a
psychological condition in which a human or animal has learned to believe that they are
helpless. Learned helplessness undermines motivation and retards the ability to perceive
success (Seligman, 1975).A hard ofhearing (HOH) personmay interpret allmisfortunesand
problems tobe self-caused, permanent, and total. The goal of the present paper is tostudy
the impact of hearing impairment on quality of life of the individual and provide a holistic
approach tocreatea setting in which self esteem could be restored so asto induce affected
individuals to seek out actively solutions to their hearing related problems, enhancing
social relations and altering their attitudes towards their own condition. Thus, this study
will provide insight to provide important dimensions from the counseling point of view to
improvequality of life inhearing impaired individuals.
Hearing loss is a decrease in the ability to perceive sound. Hearing
impairment can affect any creature that hears.

Understanding Body Image Disturbance Amongst Young Adult
*G. Srivastava **K.Thapa
Body image is defined as weight satisfaction, size perception accuracy, appearance
satisfaction, body satisfaction, appearance evaluation, appearance orientation, body
concern, body esteem, and body schema and body percept. The concept of body image
encompasses perceptual,attitudinalandaffective components.
Due to complex nature of body image, disturbance or dissatisfaction can result in a
severely diminished quality of life of people and affect their psychologicalwell-being. Bodyimage issues and concerns are significant; however its definition has been unclear within
the literature. It was found in the literature that body image is also affected by cultural
norms regarding physical appearance, so it is necessary to understand the concept of body
image with reference to specific culture. There are different norms for physical appearance
acrossgenderwithinculture andin most of thecultures; issuesof body image are related to
females and most studies are done on female sample only. Although there are many
indications that body dissatisfaction in boys and men is becoming an increasingly common
source of muchsuffering.

dissatisfaction in women. Positive and Negative Affect, Self Esteem, Body Image
Satisfaction and Figure Rating Scale was administered to 97 female undergraduate
students. This served as a base line data for correlation analysis in the first instance. One
week later participantswhovolunteered to appear in thesecondphase of thestudy(N=47)
were shown thin- ideal images as an intervention and soon after they completed Positiveand Negative Affect Schedule and Body Image States Scale again as a post test. Results
indicated body mass as a strong negative predictor of body image dis/satisfaction, self
esteem was a moderate predictor and mood was not a significant predictor. The
participants whose actual body shape was markedly discrepant with the ideally desired
body shape had significantly low level of body image satisfaction (p < .001) than those with
