The present study aimed to study the differences in Optimism and Adjustment of adolescent girls of mothers working in corporate world and homemakers. The sample consisted of 100 adolescent girls, belonging to an age group of 16-17 years and studying in XI class. Out of 100, 50 girls were those whose mothers were working in Corporate World and 50 were those whose mothers were homemakers. Optimism scale developed by Scheier and Carver (1985) and named as Life Orientation test (LOT) and Bell Adjustment Inventory (1961) were administered to measure optimism and adjustment respectively. The sample was selected from Gurgaon. Findings suggested the significant differences between these two groups. Daughters of homemakers were found high in optimism and social adjustment.

This article discusses findings of an exploratory study of the psychological and social experience of suicide survivors. Detailed interviews were conducted with twenty-four people who had lost loved ones to suicide within the last five years. The study focuses on neglected dimensions of the adjustment problems of survivors by investigating the perceptions, thoughts, and feelings of survivors themselves over a broad range of questions. Major areas of concern are: 1) survivors' responses to the suicide, specifically patterns of explanation and blaming; 2) the impasse in interpersonal relations; 3) the dynamics of stigma, normlessness, and fear in survivors' contacts with others; and 4) negative and positive personal changes occurring in survivors as a result of their loss. Our findings suggest that survivors face complex problems of emotional, personal, and social adjustment requiring further attention by researchers and helping professionals.

Self Confidence

Self-esteem is an important predictor of an individual's worth about oneself. Low selfesteem means individuals have poor self-confidence and self-concept whereas high selfesteem is related to high confidence, good social adjustment, high academic achievement and so on and so forth. The present study was conducted on a sample of 100 students of standard XI. The tool administered was self-esteem inventory designed by Prasad and Thakur and Children's Report of Parental Behaviour Inventory (CRPBI) by Saxena and Saxena. The results indicated that majority of girls have negative self-esteem. But the self-esteem is not associated with either of the parent's behaviour.

Purpose This exploratory study examined the language skills and the type and frequency of disfluencies in the spoken narrative production of Spanish–English bilingual children who do not stutter. Method A cross-sectional sample of 29 bilingual students (16 boys and 13 girls) enrolled in grades prekindergarten through Grade 4 produced a total of 58 narrative retell language samples in English and Spanish. Key outcome measures in each language included the percentage of normal (%ND) and stuttering-like (%SLD) disfluencies, percentage of words in mazes (%MzWds), number of total words, number of different words, and mean length of utterance in words. Results Cross-linguistic, pairwise comparisons revealed significant differences with medium effect sizes for %ND and %MzWds (both lower for English) as well as for number of different words (lower for Spanish). On average, the total percentage of mazed words was higher than 10% in both languages, a pattern driven primarily by %ND; %SLDs were below 1% in both languages. Multiple linear regression models for %ND and %SLD in each language indicated that %MzWds was the primary predictor across languages beyond other language measures and demographic variables. Conclusions The findings extend the evidence base with regard to the frequency and type of disfluencies that can be expected in bilingual children who do not stutter in grades prekindergarten to Grade 4. The data indicate that %MzWds and %ND can similarly index the normal disfluencies of bilingual children during narrative production. The potential clinical implications of the findings from this study are discussed.

This research aims to identify factors associated with marital instability among Jewish and mixed (Jewish and non-Jewish) couples following immigration from the former Soviet Union. Based on the Strangeness Theory and the Model of Acculturation, we predicted that non-Jewish immigrants would be less well adjusted personally and socially to Israeli society than Jewish immigrants and that endogamous Jewish couples would have better interpersonal congruence than mixed couples in terms of personal and social adjustment. The sample included 92 Jewish couples and 92 ethnically-mixed couples, of which 82 couples (40 Jewish, 42 mixed) divorced or separated after immigration and 102 couples (52 Jewish, 50 ethnically mixed) remained married. Significant differences were found between Jewish and non-Jewish immigrants in personal adjustment, and between endogamous and ethnically-mixed couples in the congruence between spouses in their personal and social adjustment. Marital instability was best explained by interpersonal disparity in cultural identity and in adjustment to life in Israel. The findings expand the knowledge on marital outcomes of immigration, in general, and immigration of mixed marriages, in particular.
