This quantitative study had been adopted a simple random technique. Further, the research questionnaire was divided into three sections. For reliability analysis, Cronbach’s alpha had been used. For section 1 (awareness of teachers for self-help skills) .87 value had been determined. For section 2 (Importance of teachers’ training for self-help skills) and section 3 (Assessment of student’s progress in self-help skills), the values were derived .78 and .83. Findings of this research highlighted the high level of awareness among teachers for self-help skills. They also support that self-help skills are compulsory to lead their life independently. Therefore, teacher training for developing self-help skills among students must be conducted. The study suggests that government should facilitate in-service training programs at the district level.","PeriodicalId":376559,"journal":{"name":"IUB Journal of Social Sciences","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122522300","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}

But these businesses have a high failure rate. Usually, these businesses get fail in the third generation. Qualitative research was used to explore MAPs in family businesses through the theoretical lens of Socioemotional wealth. Qualitative research was adopted to move away from a constricted and mechanistic view of management accounting which resembles the textbook view. The study reveals that positive and negative emotions perform a vital role in the adoption or non-adoption of MAPs. Moreover, the study depicts how socio-emotional dynamics contribute to the strategic decisions of a family business. The study helps to understand the non-financial aspects of a family business. Contingency Theory, System Theory, Resource Based View (RBV), Agency Theory, and Behavioral Agency theory has already been used in the perspective of a family business in the literature. But these “foreign” paradigms are unable to sufficiently deal with the uniqueness of family businesses where “economic instrumentality” does not prevail.","PeriodicalId":376559,"journal":{"name":"IUB Journal of Social Sciences","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125932862","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}

This concept encompassed a four-dimensional spiral model i.e. behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and agentic. Keeping this spiral model in consideration, we designed a Cross-Sectional Survey Research Design (CSSRD) to find out the underlying causes of SE in registered high schools of South Punjab, Pakistan. A sample size of n1=2758 students was selected from n2=347 registered high schools through a multistage sampling technique. A questionnaire was used to investigate the viewpoints of the participants through the survey method. The responses of the students were analyzed through SPSS Version-21 by using simple linear and hierarchical linear regression analysis. Empirical findings showed that school belonging and valuing of school education altered SE by 90.4%. Moreover, the classroom's learning environment and cognitive engagement factors changed SE by 59.5% and 52.8%, respectively. In conclusion, the components of belongingness, valuing of school education, mental excellency, cognitive abilities for learning, and classroom environment were the major determinants of SE in the study context. Ensuring the positive role of parents, peer groups, and teachers accompanied by pertinent goal-setting behavior and classroom environment can enhance SE. Moreover, emotional integration, behavioral acquiescence, and cognitive restructuring can also upsurge SE in the present research milieu","PeriodicalId":376559,"journal":{"name":"IUB Journal of Social Sciences","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132461839","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}

Cultures vary greatly in their views on ideas, beliefs, customs, and practices. However, the cultural view of illness is a strong weapon that may be used to develop a belief about the etiology of any illness or disease. The study aimed to see the indigenous curing process of Mental Illness in Jalalpur Pirwala, Southern Punjab. The researcher chose to conduct her study in the developing region of Jalalpur Pirwala in Pakistan to see the cultural beliefs held by families in an area where people have a greater tendency to believe in saints and superstitions. From a personhood perspective, there is limited research on adulthood mental illness in Pakistan; this phenomenological study is a contribution to the anthropological inquiries being conducted in a specific subfield of anthropology known as Psychological Anthropology. People with mental illnesses who were between the ages of 18 and 60 were the focus of the study. Various techniques of data collecting were used, such as unstructured interviews with practitioners (spiritual bhoopa/healers), observation, and in-depth interviews with carers of mentally ill individuals. Caretakers and practitioners were selected through snowball sampling. Document and thematic analysis were used to enhance the reliability and validity of the qualitative research. According to the findings, cultural beliefs about mental illness are tied to the divine or supernatural in which preference of healing for mental illness is associated with bhoopa (Traditional practitioner) with indigenous rituals of healing. Carers of mentally ill persons prefer traditional, spiritual, or faith healing rather than westernized psychological treatments.","PeriodicalId":376559,"journal":{"name":"IUB Journal of Social Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124866486","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 purpose of this study was to translate and confirm the factor structure of the Perceived Discrimination Scale (PDS) in the Urdu language. The validation and translation were done in three phases. During phase I, the scale was translated using the standard forward and backward translation procedure. Language equivalence was established on a sample of 100 young adults (N = 100; 56 men and 44 women) through cross-language validation in phase II. Construct validity of the scale was established in phase III consisting of an independent study of 326 young adults with an age range from 18 to 25 (M = 21.23; SD = 1.68). The data was collected from universities across Pakistan. The factor structure of the scale was evaluated through two models: a two-factor structure model with Perceived Individual Discrimination and Perceived Group Discrimination and a unification model. The findings confirmed the factor structure of both the first-order and higher-order models of PDS.
