People focus so much on being good followers that they become unaware of the consequences of their actions. Various experiments about “obedience to authority” have been taken place in the past decades. Stanley Milgram, a social psychologist conducted his famous obedience experiments in the early 1960s. His aim was to study the willingness of participants to obey authority figures, even when it involved harmful actions against others. The current study aimed to investigate the difference of age and gender differences in relation to obedience to authority. Age factor was not examined in Milgram’s original experiment. The research regarding age differences in obedience is suggestive of demarcation in level of obedience. This work aims to show a new way to understand gender difference in obedience, and wish to open a gate of age differences in obedience study. Are males more likely to obey to authority? Will gender affect obedience ? The research in existence is mixed point of view in relation to males and females related to obedience. Thus with this aim in mind present study was carried out on 150 working employees ( Non-teaching staff); males (n=75) and females (n=75), with the age range of 34-64 (M=40.88 age), (SD=5.37); early middle age (34–44) and late middle age (45- 64) across Punjabi University, Patiala. The aim of the study was to investigate the difference between age, gender and obedience, examining whether obedience vary across different age groups and gender wise. The Organizational Obedience Scale (Capan & Uzuncarsili, 2022) was administered to the working staff with the Cronbach alpha is .79. The questionnaire was translated into native language Punjabi and was certified and validated by the experts (Dept. of Psychology, Punjabi University, Patiala) with the reliability of .78. The obtained data was analysed with the latest version IBM SPSS 29. The data collected was analysed with descriptive analysis, and t- test. There was significant differences in scores of male and female on the basis of obedience. Another findings there was significant difference due to age in obedience. Later middle aged people more obey. By examining the interplay between age, gender, and obedience, this work aims to inform develop interventions that mitigate potential risks associated with destructive obedience. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000","PeriodicalId":475334,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Interdisciplinary Approaches in Psychology","volume":"33 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141043956","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}

 With all of the difficulties and problems that arose during COVID 19, pandemic students endured a period of demotivation as a result of the lack of understanding surrounding the situation, as no one has ever experienced anything like it before and everything seems to be grim to them. Thus this study was conducted to see how stress and anxiety have impacted achievement motivation levels. A total of 70 students between ages of 17-20 were selected by stratified random sampling. The objective was to study the effects of perceived stress and anxiety on achievement motivation. Also to study the relationship between perceived stress and achievement motivation and anxiety and achievement motivation of students. Perceived stress scale (PSS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Achievement Motivation Scale (AMS) was used to measure perceived stress, anxiety, and achievement motivation. Students with high and medium levels of stress have low achievement motivation, while students with low achievement motivation have a low level of anxiety, according to the findings. Anxiety has no impact on motivation; however stress has a substantial impact. According to the study, stress has a significant negative link with academic motivation. Male students were also found to be more stressed than female students, whereas female students had higher anxiety levels than male students. While there was no significant difference in accomplishment motivation between male and female students, there was a significant difference in achievement motivation between male and female students.

 Perfectionism and decision-making have been receiving attention in workplaces for many years. Perfectionism is considered a positive attribute of an employee. However, there is another side of perfectionism also, which can lead to severe mental and physical health problems. In the same way, decision-making is routine organizational practice, which is considered an essential
 
 
 
 attribute of personality. Life satisfaction also indicates the apparent quality of life and indicates mental and physical health. It also shows how well people thrive. Working professionals can be described as individuals earning their living through employment. Such individuals generally value specific skills or degrees which help them perform specific tasks efficiently. Working professionals can be full-time, part-time, or self-employed. Some examples can be teachers, lawyers, doctors, designers, etc. The current study was intended to explore the relationship between perfectionism, decision-making, and life satisfaction among working professionals. The sample of this study is 40 working professionals between the age of 20-30 years. Standardized scales are used to measure perfectionism, decision-making, and life satisfaction. The results showed a significant positive correlation between life satisfaction and decision-making. Also, the study found a negative correlation between life satisfaction, decision-making & perfectionism. The outcomes of the current study will help employers and human resource management practices look for their employees' mental and physical health.
