National surveys estimate that 11.4% of
college students seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, 7.9% made a suicide plan, and 1.7%
attempted suicide (Barrios, et al., 2000). Suicide ideation has been associated with poor psychosocial
functioning (Reinherz, et al, 2006), future depressive disorders (Fergusson, et al., 2005; Steinhausen & Metzke,
2004). The present study aimed at the relation between the Rorschach Comprehensive System‟s Suicide
Constellation (S–CON; Exner, 1993; Exner & Wiley, 1977) and in a personality inventory (Personality
Assessment Inventory: e.g., Suicidal ideation (SUI)and to cross-correlate these indices. The sample consisted of
350 young adult females matched by gender, age and educational level randomly drawn from Kurukshetra
University. The age of participants ranged between 21-24 years with the mean age of 22 years. The obtained data were analyzed by Descriptive Statistics, spearman Correlations. Results indicate reliable convergence
between the SUI (PAI) and Rorschach S-CON indices.

The PTI is aimed at fulfilling several criteria, including an enhancement in Rorschach's diagnostic utility for the diagnosis of thought disorders and an increase in clinical emphasis on the dimensional features of impaired perceptions and thoughts (Exner, 2000a; 2000b). This study was designed to assess and compares Rorschach Perceptual-Thinking Index (PTI; Exner, 2000a, 2000b) and Personality Assessment Inventory PAI-SCZ (PAI-SCZ; L.C. Morey, 1991) Scale in a homogenous sample of 350 young adult female matched by gender, age and educational level randomly drawn from Kurukshetra University. The age of participants ranged between 21-24 years with the mean age of 22 years. Results indicated convergence between the PAI-SCZ and Rorschach PTI.

In tandem with the indulge in access to the Internet globally, the risk of "internet addiction" is rising as a significant behavioural addiction pandemic. The use of the Internet on school campuses and in society has increased dramatically in recent years. Whereas the academic use of the Internet is primarily intended for learning and research, the Internet has also become an important part of student life. However, from time to time, cases of over-involvement with the Internet have been observed on different campuses. The aim of this study was to explore the differences in Healthiness and well-being in rural and urban school students. A mixed sample of 300 subjects was taken, out of which 150 was of rural and 150 of urban areas. Both group subjects belonged to an age group of 15 to 18 years. Friedman well-being scale, Leddy healthiness scale and internet addiction IAT Young (1998) were used to measure the above variables. The data was analyzed by using t-test. Results revealed that rural school student s are higher on healthiness and well-being than urban students, due to the impact of internet addiction on urban students.

Although migration is not a recent phenomenon and has been an important part of humanities history, research into its impact on health has only gained momentum in the last few decades whilst research into the mental health of migrants remains relatively sparse. The aim of this study was to explore the differences in Adjustment and wellbeing in first-generation and second generation of Kashmiri migrants. A mixed sample of 300 subjects was taken, out of which 150 was of first-generation and 150 of the second generation. First-generation subjects belonged to an age group of 45 to 60 years and second-generation subjects belonged to an age group of 21 to 25 years. Friedman well-being scale and bell adjustment inventory were used to measure the above variables. The data was analyzed by using t-test. Results revealed that second-generation migrants had higher Adjustment and wellbeing than first-generation migrants

It is one of the vital issues faced by human civilization now-a-days. There are number of peoples who have been migrated due to violence, natural disasters internal conflicts and communal violence. The aim of the present study is to explore the differences in personality, wellbeing and coping patterns among Kashmiri migrants employees and Kashmir non migrants employees. The sample used in the present study consisted of two groups of subjects viz. Kashmiri migrants employees (n=75), Kashmir non migrants employees (n=75). Friedman well-being scale, Neo-FFI, and way of coping (Lazarus) were used the measure the above variables. Descriptive statistic (mean; standard deviations) t- ratios and Discriminant function analysis were computed to compare the two groups in terms of significance of mean differences. Results clearly shows that there are significant differences in well- being, personality and coping of migrants and non- migrants.

Terrorism creates a psychological state of extreme fear and anxiety the same as the proportion to the physical damage it causes in terms of loss of life and property. The aim of this study was to explore the differences in healthiness, personality and life satisfaction in students of Haryana and Kashmir. A mixed sample of 200 subjects was taken, out of which 100 was of Kashmir, and 100 was from Haryana. Subjects belonged to an age group of 17 to 25 years. The Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R), Leddy Healthiness Scale (Leddy, 1996) and Satisfaction with life scale (Diener, 1985) were used to measure the above variables. The data was analyzed by using t-test. Results revealed that Haryana students had higher healthiness, wellbeing and life satisfaction than Kashmir students.

A sample of 200 young adults varying by gender (100 Male And 100 Female), individually, following standard procedures (Cassell, 1980), were administered the somatic inkblot series to ascertain projective assessed aspects of body image in adulthood. Descriptive statistic (mean, standard deviation) and t- ratios were computed to compare the two groups’ in terms of significance of mean differences which are reported in table. There are significant differences in the PG male students and PG female students with regard to some SIS-II precepts.

For the realization of research objective The Somatic Inkblot Series-II was administered to 240 young adults (120 Males and 120 Females), individually. Descriptive statistic (mean; standard deviations) and t- ratios were computed to compare the two groups in terms of significance of mean differences male students have been found scoring significantly high on Human, Sex, Movement, Most Typical, Typical, Rejection, Hostility- aggression scales of SIS-II than their counterpart females. Whereas females have scored significantly high on Pathological Anatomy, Depression, and Paranoid scales.
