Parental conflicts have a great impact on the learning and behavior of students. Thus, the current study intended to explore the relationship between perceived inter-parental conflict and aggression among university students. To draw the sample of study stratified proportionate sampling method was applied and 316 university students (age range 17-23 years) were included in study. Children’s Perceived Inter-parental Conflict Scale (age range 6-25 years) and Perry Aggression Questionnaire (age range 15-25years) were used to measure study variables. Data were examined by using descriptive statistics, correlation, regression analysis, t-test, and ANOVA. Findings highlighted that there is a significant positive correlation between perceived inertparental conflict and aggression among university students (r=.397, p<0.05). Furthermore, regression analysis revealed a significant predictive relationship between inter-parental conflicts and aggression (R²=.15, F=57.88, p<0.001). Whereas, the results of t-test and ANOVA revealed that demographic features like gender, household type and living with genetic parents and step parents have no substantial role in inter-parental conflict and aggression.

Purpose of the study: The present study aims at measuring the effect of traumatic events on social behavior among university students. Methodology: Purposive sample of n=200 students was selected from various universities of Punjab, Pakistan. Impact of events scale-revised (Weiss, 2007), and Texas social behavior inventory (Helmreich & Stapp, 1974) were used to measure study variables. Pearson correlation was carried out to explore correlations. Further, the prediction was checked through regression analysis. Additional analysis includes a t-test to check gender differences. Main Findings: Significant differences were found in adolescents as compared to young adults on the scale of the traumatic events. Correlation analysis indicated a significant negative relationship between traumatic events (intrusion, avoidance, and hyper-arousal) and social behavior (i.e., self-esteem). Further multiple regression analysis showed that traumatic events were a significant negative predictor of social behavior as traumatic events harm an individual’s social behavior. Additionally, the t-test indicated non-significant gender differences. Applications of this study: These research results have implications in academic settings, clinical and counseling. And it helps to improve overall social behavior at the individual level, which ultimately serves to ensure a better community and sound environment. Originality/Uniqueness of present investigation: An empirical investigation of the phenomenon observed among human participants' natural behavior with no manipulation.

The main purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between need for approval and loneliness and depression in university students. The second purpose of the current study is to examine depression, need for social approval and loneliness in relation to some demographic variables. The study was conducted on a total of 249 students (175 females and 74 males) attending the Education Faculty of a university located in the Central Black Sea Region. The current study employed a personal information form, the Beck Depression Inventory, the UCLA Loneliness Scale and the Need for Social Approval Scale to collect data. In order to determine the correlations between depression, loneliness and need for social approval “multiple regression analysis”; in order to determine between-groups differences, “t-test” and “variance analysis” were used. The findings of the study have revealed that loneliness and need for social approval explains 22% of the total variance in depression. In terms of contribution to the model, loneliness was found to be a better predictor of depression than the need for social approval. Depression, loneliness and the need for approval were found to be not varying significantly depending on gender. Only need for social approval was found to be varying significantly depending on both the mother’s and the father’s education level. The findings are discussed focusing on the relationship between loneliness and the need for social approval and depression in university students.

The study aimed to develop a culturally relevant scale to assess the perceived inter-parental conflicts in adolescents by using a mixed-method approach. Semi-structured in-depth interviews with 10 adolescents of age range 14-18 years were conducted along with 3 focus groups of parents and teachers that helped to generate a pool of 88 items. Construct validity and psychometric properties were determined on a sample of 500 adolescent with age range 14-18 years (M = 15.28, SD = 1.07). Principal axis factoring through direct oblimin rotation method postulated 60 items with six distinct factors (named as overt conflicts, familial conflicts, conflicts related emotional reactivity, financial conflicts, child related conflicts, and psychological conflicts) that accounted for 38% variance. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for total scale was .94 and ranged from .63 to .92 for six emerged factors. The convergent and discriminant validity of the scale was also satisfactory. Perceived Inter-Parental Conflict Scale for Adolescents (PIPCSA) was a reliable and valid measure to assess perceived inter-parental conflicts in adolescents.

Background The relationship between intention and behavior has been well researched, but most studies fail to capture dynamic, time-varying contextual factors. Ecological momentary assessment through mobile phone technology is an innovative method for collecting data in real time, including time-use data. However, only a limited number of studies have examined day-level plans to be physically active and subsequent physical activity behavior using real-time time-use data to better understand this relationship. Objective This study aims to examine whether plans to be physically active (recorded in advance on an electronic calendar) were associated with objectively assessed physical activity (accelerometry), to identify activities that replaced planned periods of physical activity by using the mobile app Life in a Day (LIAD), and to test the feasibility and acceptability of LIAD for collecting real-time time-use data. Methods The study included 48 university students who were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 protocols, which were defined by 1, 3, or 5 days of data collection. Participants were asked to record their planned activities on a Google Calendar and were provided with mobile phones with LIAD to complete time-use entries in real time for a set of categories (eg, exercise or sports, eating or cooking, school, or personal care). Participants were instructed to wear an accelerometer on their nondominant wrist during the protocol period. A total of 144 days of protocol data were collected from the 48 participants. Results Protocol data for 123 days were eligible for analysis. A Fisher exact test showed a statistically significant association between plans and physical activity behavior (P=.02). The congruence between plans and behavior was fair (Cohen κ=0.220; 95% CI 0.028-0.411). Most participants did not plan to be active, which occurred on 75.6% (93/123) of days. Of these 93 days, no physical activity occurred on 76 (81.7%) days, whereas some physical activity occurred on 17 (18.3%) days. On the remaining 24.4% (30/123) of days, some physical activity was planned. Of these 30 days, no physical activity occurred on 18 (60%) days, whereas some physical activity occurred on 12 (40%) days. LIAD data indicated that activities related to screen time most often replaced planned physical activity, whereas unplanned physical activity was often related to active transport. Feasibility analyses indicated little difficulty in using LIAD, and there were no significant differences in feasibility by protocol length. Conclusions Consistent with previous literature, physical activity plans and physical activity behaviors were linked, but not strongly linked. LIAD offers insight into the relationship between plans and behavior, highlighting the importance of active transport for physical activity and the influence of screen-related behaviors on insufficient physical activity. LIAD is a feasible and practical method for collecting time-use data in real time.

Human error is the main cause of blister product quality deviation at PT. XXX, which lead by personnel factor and work method. The research intends to analyze the relationship between personnel qualification level (blister production team), number of blister product and production length (Z blister machine), with blister product deviation at PT. XXX (2015-2017). The research was a descriptive-observational study (retrospective) by linier regression analysis using 2 variables and multi variable. The t-test analysis result between personnel qualification level and blister product deviation, p=0.041 (p<0.05) showed a significant relationship between those variables. The t-test analysis result between number of blister product and blister product deviation, p=0.164 (p>0.05) showed that there is no significant relationship between those variables. The result of t-test between production length (Z blister machine) and blister product deviation, p=0.542 (p>0.05) showed that there is no significant relationship between those variables. The F-test analysis result showed a significant relationship between personnel qualification level (blister production team), number of blister product and production length (Z blister machine) with blister product deviation (p=0,000; p<0.05).

Interpersonal relationships are a very important part of the university life of a person. To explore the relationship between interpersonal difficulties and personality traits, a sample of 300 students in the age range of 18-28 years (M=22.04) was taken from different government and private universities. To measure the Machiavellian Personality Tendencies among students an indigenous tool was developed rooted inthe Pakistani culture. Interpersonal Difficulties Scale (Saleem, Ihsan, & Mahmood, 2014) was used. It was revealed that students with high Machiavellian Personality Tendencies have more interpersonal difficulties and Machiavellian Personality Tendencies, gender, family system and birth order are significant predictors of interpersonal difficulties in university students. These results are discussed in the Pakistani cultural context and their implications are stated for future research and therapeutic work.
