Students with low intelligence potential, have limitations in academic matters. Unlike students with average intelligence, students with low intelligence will find difficulties in completing their academic tasks. Frequently, when their intelligence potentials have not been identified and are included in a regular class, they have to meet the same demands with other students who have normal/average intelligence. Therefore, they struggle to complete the given academic tasks. Their efforts to manage thoughts, feelings and behavior to achieve goals are called Self Regulated Learning (SRL). This study aims to determine the relationship of Personal Growth Initiative (PGI) and Self Regulated Learning in students with low intelligence potential. The research method used is quantitative correlational. The data collection tool used is the PGI and SRL Likert scale; the results of the filling scale are analyzed by product moment correlation statistical techniques. The results show a positive relationship between PGI and SRL (r = 0.677, sig. 0.032) with a contribution of 45.8%. The implication that can be drawn from this research is that it provides proper psychological treatment to students with low intelligence potential so that they can stay motivated in learning process.

The prime purpose of recent study was to analyze the relationship of optimism, personal growth initiatives and positive interpretation of illness. This study considered this relationship with special focus on patients of asthma. Purposive sampling was used to collect the data from asthma patients. Pearson coefficient of correlation and Hierarchical regressions were used to examine the data. Recent results revealed that personal growth initiative have positive impact on positive interpretation of illness. But optimism was not found to be associated with optimism with positive interpretation of illness in asthma patient.

<div><p><em>The objective of the present study is to investigate whether there is a relationship between perception of psycho-social school environment, personal growth initiative and fear of failure in intermediate students. The study also aimed to observe whether there are gender differences between students going to colleges (viz. with EAMCET coaching and without EAMCET coaching) in terms of psycho-social school environment, personal growth initiative and fear of failure in intermediate students. The School Environment Inventory (Misra, 1984), the Personal Growth Initiative Scale-II (Robitschek et al., 2012) and the Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory (Conroy et. al., 2002) were administered on 300 intermediate students (150 boys and 150 girls) selected through a non-probability purposive sampling technique to measure the perception of psycho-social school environment, personal growth initiative and fear of failure respectively. The results indicated significant gender differences between the students going to colleges with coaching and the students going to colleges without coaching with respect to perception of psycho-social school environment and personal growth initiative (p&lt;0.05). However, no significant gender differences were observed in fear of failure and its dimensions (p&gt;0.05). Among students going to colleges with coaching negative correlations were observed between rejection, fear of experiencing shame and embarrassment  and personal growth initiative, moreover in this group, creative stimulation, cognitive encouragement and permissiveness (p&lt;0.05) were positively correlated with using resources and negatively correlated with fears of important others losing interest (p&lt;0.05). Also personal growth initiative was positively correlated with fears of upsetting important others and cognitive encouragement (p&lt;0.05) in students going to colleges without coaching. The present study reiterates that perception of school environment by students is of paramount importance in promoting or hindering the student’s personal growth initiative and subsequently their fear of failure.</em></p></div>
