When one overviews the cases of childhood, adolescent or adult aggression, one common characteristic of the aggressive episode stands out, i.e., if aggressive behavior is manifested at an early stage, it is likely to persist and signal risk for delinquent behavior that continues through adulthood. Aggressive adolescents often become aggressive adults who, later on, serve as faulty parental models for their own children to follow. Thus, a vicious circle is formed that passes on from one generation to the other. Aggression is one of the areas where mixed findings on gender differences have been reported by researchers. The present paper explains the gender differences in aggression among youth.

Parenting and child rearing had been one of the most important functions and occupations of adults till the middle of the twentieth century. There exist several altered family forms such as the single-parent family, one biological and one step-parent family, foster family, and so on. Research has shown that children living in these alternative families are at a greater risk of maladaptation and development of the disorder. With the emancipation of women, industrialization, urbanization, and increasing demands from women for work outside the home, parents are spending less and less time on parenting functions. Children are looked after in other settings such as crèches, nurseries, day schools, and by other adults like relatives, friends, neighbors, servants, and older siblings, and at times are even left alone. With little time at their disposal, parents now do not have much control over the varied environmental influences that impinge on the psyche of the child. Keeping this in mind, the present paper reviews on the role of the family in child and adolescent development.

With these speculations the current research is an attempt to explore QoL as a precursor of flourishing among youth. A purposive sample of 300 youth both male and female, postgraduates, within the age range of 21-25 years was selected from various departments of M.D. University, Rohtak (Haryana, India). Standardized tools were used to assess their QoL and flourishing. Descriptive statistics, correlational and regression analyses were computed to measure the levels of overall and health related QoL (overall & its various domains )and flourishing and find out the relationship as well as predicting power of various domains of health related QoL with respect to flourishing. The findings revealed the high level of flourishing along with the best social health related QoL followed by psychological, physical and environmental health related QoL. Correlational analysis indicated the maximum high level of relationship of psychological health related QoL followed by physical, environmental and social health related QoL with flourishing.

Empirical studies have shown that, chronic alcohol dependence is a constant relapsing medical condition besides its psychological and social consequences, and essentially a brain disorder. It's a chronic disorder, which implies cognitive impairments disturbing various neuro-psychological functions. Researches confirm that people with chronic alcohol dependence have a high rate of cognitive impairments, especially deficits in executive functions. Many innovative computer-based interventions for psychiatric disorders have been developed especially for cognitive remediation. In recent times much interest has been focused on using Posit Science Brain training exercises which is based on the theory of neuroplasticity for enhancement of executive functions. This method emphasizes generalization or extension of benefits beyond the trained task. The global changes in cognitive functions are to improve the quality of life. The current study examined this novel computerized intervention to determine its effect on executive functions of patients with chronic alcohol dependence. After the detoxification phase, patients were assigned to cognitive training group (experimental group) and in treatment as usual group (control group). The pre- post evaluation results were also noted. The statistical analysis of this study indicated significant improvement in cognitive functioning and all domains of quality of life.
