Transgenders being a sexual minority in India are ridiculed and discriminated at every aspect of societal life due to gender variant behavior and roles. Transgender persons are at high risk for developing psychological distress and mental health issues such as depression, substance abuse, suicidal tendencies, and conduct disorders. Little research is known in Kerala about transgender individuals' capacity for resilience despite hardship and long-term stress. The objectives of the current study were to assess psychological distress and resilience among transgenders and to find out whether there is any significant difference in resilience among transgenders based on socio-demographic variables such as age, education, and employment. The data was obtained using the survey method (Kessler Psychological Distress Scale by Kessler, 2003; & Resilience Scale by Wagnild & Young, 2009) involving a purposive sample of 105 transgenders from various districts of Kerala. ANOVA and t-test were used to analyze the data. The findings of the study showed that transgenders have an average level of psychological distress and resilience. There is no significant difference in psychological distress and resilience among transgenders based on employment and level of education. There is no significant difference in psychological distress whereas there is a significant difference in resilience based on the age group among transgenders. The younger adults showed higher resilience. Transgenders can be helped by the development of tailored mental health interventions and resilience-building programs.","PeriodicalId":228398,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of positive psychology","volume":"406 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115930670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The caregiver stress is an important and negative parameter which is harmful for the primary caregivers. In fact, the burden upon the primary caregivers ultimately changes the perception of quality of life. The overburdening of the tasks viz. household as well as caregiving and that is also without required amount of help leads to poor quality of life of the primary caregivers. The present study was conducted on a sample of 60 primary caregivers from middle socio-economic status families situated in the district of Ludhiana city of Punjab. Zarit Burden Interview developed by Zarit et al. (1980) was used to assess the caregiver stress of the primary caregivers. The quality of life of the respondents was assessed by the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref questionnaire which was developed by World Health Organization (1997). The results revealed that a major proportion of the respondents reported to possess a low level of quality of life. Statistically significant association was found between the caregiver stress and the overall quality of life as well as across different domains of quality of life of the primary caregivers.","PeriodicalId":228398,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of positive psychology","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128086701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amyriad of studies have indicated the positive and favourable outcomes associated with religious participation and involvement. The present study was formulated to unravel the relationship of Religious Orientation with Selfefficacy within the Indian context. It was further aimed to determine the dominant religious orientation within the sample. The present study adopted a correlational, cross-sectional research design. The desired sample of 108 young adults falling in the age bracket of 21-25 years in India was obtained by employing convenience sampling. Allport and Ross's Religious Orientation Scale was employed to determine participant's approach to religion, in addition Schwarzer and Jerusalem's General Self-efficacy Scale was also used for data collection. The paired t-test indicated extrinsic religious orientation as dominant within the sample (p < .001). Moreover, no significant correlation was found between religious orientation and self-efficacy. These findings are somewhat consistent with the previous literature and further support the notion that intrinsic orientation is a healthier and mature approach to religion in comparison to extrinsic orientation. It can thus be implied that the sample might have a higher likelihood of developing any psychopathological state due to its extrinsic religious orientation if coupled with other circumstances. The findings can be further used to design interventions which focus on imbibing religion as self-reliant on its own.","PeriodicalId":228398,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of positive psychology","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122120933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research done on resilience over the last five decades lacks the cultural sensitivity as well as how the community impacts the process of resilience (Ungar, 2004, 2005; Boyden & Mann, 2005). The study has primarily investigated the mainstream western population's individual understanding of healthy functioning. Thus, there is a gap in knowledge regarding cross-cultural validation of the findings and rigorous qualitative inquiries into the factors; that might be associated with resilience in the context of non-western communities and marginalized groups living among their 'conventional' neighbours in western settings. This review aims to analyse the current resilience research done in India and to formulate a culturally appropriate model of resilience for the population. Out of 86 relevant publications first identified through systematic search on several data bases, 8 studies were finalized and went through inductive thematic analysis of the content relevant to research questions. Following the analysis process, detailed analytical themes and final characteristics of the resilience model were established. The results show that resilience remains an amorphous concept that is affected by both individual and social influences. However, there are some clear and well-established global elements that transcend the bounds of culture. Incorporation of social and psychological inquiry is recommended for future research.","PeriodicalId":228398,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of positive psychology","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122703447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most disturbing adversities may come in the form of sickness. The quality of life of an individual can take a toll when he acquires the news of cancer and undergoing the turmoil of subsequent treatment. However taking a positive approach like finding a Silver lining and maintaining it can do wonder in fighting with this deadly disease. The present study is an attempt to explore a silver lining among the 100 cancer patients in Ludhiana city. To get the data from the patients a brief interview session was followed by a structured questionnaire. The findings revealed that the perception of silver lining was on the moderate level .The patients were not much worried about what would happen to them rather they were of in solace that their families are doing much for them. They had realized that fact they could come out of this illness only when they would accept and fight with it. Male patients turned out to be more close to silver lining than their counterparts. Unmarried patients were also more close to hope to come out of it rather than married patients. The reason could be that they did not have any liabilities as the married patients had. The similar findings were also depicted in the analysis of variance for number of dependents. No significant differences were found for the concept of silver lining for the demographic variables age and type of the cancer. Similar mean scores were reported in both the groups.","PeriodicalId":228398,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of positive psychology","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127847115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Total data were collected from 224 participants; among these, 81 participants belong to generation Z, 99 participants belong to generation Y, while 44 participants belong to generation X. The aim of the study was to find out does there exist any difference in the measure of happiness and well-being among the three generations, that is, generation X, generation Y, and generation Z. The data collection was carried out through survey method by giving out a questionnaire, through both online and offline media. The PERMA Profiler (Butler & Kern, 2016), which is a general measure, developed for adults, aiming to measure the overall well-being of an individual in terms of 5 domains: positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment, was used for the study. One way ANOVA in the IBM SPSS version 25 was run to analyse the data. The analytical study showed no statistical difference exists among the measure of happiness and well-being in the three generations. Thus it could be concluded that all three generations under study have a similar measure of happiness and well-being. Further more, according to the 'labels' discussed by Butler and Kern (2016), it has been seen that the mean score of all three generations falls in the category of 'Normal Functioning'.","PeriodicalId":228398,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of positive psychology","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128158486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
