Optimism Children attribution style questionnaire (CASQ) by Seligman, Kaslow, Ally, Peterson, Tannenbaum and Abrahson (1984), Home environment scale by Sarla Jawa (1997), Depression CES-DC scale developed by Weissman, Orvaschell and Pandian (1980) were administered on students. 't' test was used to analyze the data. Significant difference found between the overall rural and urban students on home environment and depression, but not in optimism. As far as rural male and female children are concerned significant difference found in personal freedom and negligence, dimensions of home environment and in depression. Difference found in more dimensions of home environment, and depression of urban male and female children. Further discussion was made.

We also investigate differences in these processes as predicted by country of residence (United States or India), since these countries differ on many aspects of social and emotional behavior. We hypothesized that a given emotion regulation strategy would be: 1) used more than the others, and 2) associated with lower negative emotions due to one’s partner to the extent that its function fit with an individual’s country of residence. The results provide both support for and evidence against our hypotheses, but in general suggest that culture can influence the preference for different emotion regulation strategies as well as their associations with negative emotional experiences in romantic relationships.

The present study examined the significant difference between couples in arranged marriage and love marriage on relationship satisfaction and attachment among a sample of 50 couples in arranged marriage and 50 couples in love marriage from Hubli-Dharwad region. Baseline survey for couples (Butler, 2008) and experience in close relationship developed by Wei (2007) were employed. The findings of the results through t' test analysis revealed the existence of significant difference between the couples in arranged marriage and love marriage on relationship satisfaction and attachment. The implications for further studies on relationship satisfaction and attachment are discussed.

The present study is counted to find out the significance of the relationship of well-being of men and women living with HIV/AIDS with their personal and general belief in just world. A purposive sample of 100 male and 100 female people living with HIV/AIDS are selected for the study. The sample was selected for the study from Positive People Network, NGOs and ART centers. The sample was collected from Hubli-Dharwad Corporation and Gadag. Personal Belief in Just World Scale developed by Claudia Dalbert (1999); The General Belief in Just World Scale developed by Dalbert and Schmitt (1987); and Trait Well Being Inventory developed by Dalbert (1992) measures were used to test the hypotheses. Results of the present study revealed th...

Quota sampling technique was used to collect one hundred and seventy two, Hindu Muslim and Christian Post-Graduate Students (Hindus=30, Muslims=30, Christians=28) from various departments of Karnatak University, Dharwad and Religious Members (Hindus=28, Muslims=28, Christians=28) from Church, Temples and Mosques, from Hubli-Dharwad city for this study. Individualism-Collectivism Scale (Triandis et al., 1988), Religious Commitment Inventory,(Worthington et al., 2003) and Decisional and Emotional Forgiveness Scale( Worthington 2007) were measures to test hypotheses. By providing some conditions, respondents were asked to give current intentions and emotions towards a person who has hurt them. Results revealed that Individualistic forgivers and Collectivis...

An equal number of students were selected (Hindu =50, Muslim= 50 and Christian=50) from each religion by using quota sampling technique. Forgiveness was measured by, the Decisional and Emotional Forgiveness Scale developed by Worthington Jr, et al. (2007) and State anger was measured by State anger scale developed by Spielberger et al. (1988). Results indicated a significant difference among three groups on their decisional and emotional forgiveness and state anger. Further stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed the factors significantly contributed to decisional and emotional forgiveness and state anger of the students. Findings of the study have social implications.

Forgiveness is now being studied with sub components like self forgiveness, forgiveness of others and Forgiveness of the Situation. The impact of the Self esteem is often studied but this study explored the relationship of Self-esteem with self forgiveness, forgiveness of others and Forgiveness of the Situation. Sample of 200 (100 male and 100 female) students of Karnatak University were drawn and Rosenberg's Self-esteem scale and Heartland's Forgiveness scales were employed. The results revealed that Self esteem is significantly correlated with forgiveness of Situations and not with Self forgiveness and Forgiveness of Others.

American (n = 51) and Indian (n = 100) participants either prayed for their romantic partner (prayer condition) or described their romantic partner's physical attributes (control condition). Prayers were self-guided and lasted 3 minutes. Pre-test and post-test measures of retaliation were completed. Results showed that participants in the prayer group showed statistically significant decreases in retaliation motives from pre-test to post-test and the magnitude of this change was not different across cultures. Control groups in both cultures showed no change. Because of the religious diversity present in the Indian sample, the robustness of the effect of prayer on forgiveness was tested across Christian, Hindu and Muslim Indians. Religious affiliation did not moderate the effect of prayer on forgiveness in this sample. Results suggest that a brief prayer is capable of producing real change in forgiveness and this change is consistent across American and Indian cultures and across three different religious groups in India. Brief prayer for others that enhances forgiveness may be useful for individuals in close relationships, in certain counselling settings and for people in many different walks of life.

Little is known about emotion regulation in parents versus adults without children. Emotion suppression is more prevalent in collectivistic cultures, but little is known about cultural differences in other forms of emotion regulation. Furthermore, little is known about whether having children influences emotion regulation differently across cultures. To investigate this, six emotion regulation strategies (action, enlisting partner, communal coping, reappraisal, suppression, and avoidance) were assessed in romantic couples with and without children in the United States and India. Participants included 90 Indian married couples (41 love marriages, 49 arranged marriages), and 64 United States couples. Participants completed a baseline measure and then a daily questionnaire once a day for 7 days, which assessed emotion regulation strategies. Using a dyadic multilevel model, I found: 1. Parents reported significantly lower levels of effective emotion regulation strategies as compared to couples without children.

However, little is known about whether emotional synchrony between partners is similar across marriages in different cultural contexts. We assess differences in levels of synchrony using daily diaries from 35 couples from the United States and 89 couples from India (41 in love marriages, 48 in arranged marriages). Results show group differences in levels of synchrony, with American couples showing greater synchrony than Indian couples. Somewhat surprisingly, synchrony of negative partner-induced emotions was associated with greater marital satisfaction across marriage types, while for Indian-love couples synchrony of positive partner-induced emotions was associated with decreased satisfaction. Finally, synchrony of both positive and negative partner-induced emotions was associated with higher closeness for Indian-love couples, but reduced closeness for American couples. These findings suggest synchrony may not have the same implications for couples' emotional functioning across marriage types.
