The presence of chronic medical diagnoses in children and the subsequent impacts including social stigma, as well as their age and developmental level, may amplify adjustment challenges in parenting considerations, school, peer relations, career, and future relationships. Children may be traumatized by unfamiliar and painful healthcare experiences. Hospitalization can lead to increased feelings of isolation, fear, and self-doubt when children do not receive emotionally safe psychological support necessary to minimize the accompanying stress and anxiety. School experiences and parenting children with chronic illnesses have additional intersecting socialization characteristics. This paper highlights a vision for furthering the groundwork within Indian pediatric settings to promote emotional safety and psychosocial care. Principles from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the World Health Organization's definition of health create an impetus for giving a voice to children with chronic medical conditions. While there are sporadic psychosocial services for children with chronic needs, they lack consistency, and this indicates a need and an opportunity for developing a unique career for human development and psychology professionals to address these concerns. As exemplars, two psychosocial care programs in India that help foster resilience in these children are highlighted. Although limited, extant research regarding the experiences of children with chronic medical conditions in India is discussed, and implications for future research and academic initiatives are interwoven within this paper.</p>","PeriodicalId":46017,"journal":{"name":"PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDIES","volume":"68 2","pages":"138-148"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9845824/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9499724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But it is not the same in the case of transpersonal gratitude. Instead, it is directed towards abstract entities beyond self like God, their own state of being, or the cosmos. The previous literature had affirmed that a selfless attitude and better mood could determine overall gratitude. But this relation is not mainly known in the context of this newer form of gratitude. Indian young adults (<i>N</i> = 456) completed scales on transpersonal gratitude, trait meta-mood, and ego-grasping orientation-a Taoist concept. The preliminary analysis revealed that the selfless nature was unrelated to transpersonal gratitude. Subsequently, the predictive effect of trait meta-mood on transpersonal gratitude is quantified. The findings explain the distinguishable features of the young adults' populace and positive transpersonal experiences. The need to identify groups, cultural differences, and the utility of interventions on transpersonal gratitude in the future gratitude research is emphasised.</p>","PeriodicalId":46017,"journal":{"name":"PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDIES","volume":"68 2","pages":"247-255"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9943044/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9502936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of the people of India have spent their childhood either by listening to the stories of mythology or watching cricket, because the two interesting activities that consciously impact the mind and gain the attention so easily. The psychological aspects of both game and stories literally leave a strong impact in human mind. Hence, this paper attempts to integrate the psychological aspects of the game and mythology by analyzing the existing mental health problems of Indian cricketers with reference to the mythological stories of Indian heroes.
