A study on impact of yoga on emotional maturity in type-2 diabetic persons Pages: 101-104 Yogesh A. Jogsan (Department of Psychology, Saurashtra University, Rajkot, Gujrat ) The emotional maturity predicts one's ability to manage and monitor his or here emotions, to assess the emotional state of others and influence their opinions and behavior. Emotional maturity seems to be most profoundly influenced by the relationship, understanding and reactions. I have been observing that Diabetic persons have many problems at psychological level and their outlook towards life and its complications does not show positive response and also many a times they show less emotional maturity in various situations. This study is aimed to investigate the impact of Yoga on emotional maturity in Type-2 Diabetic persons together with the effect on Diabetes. Nine samples with average age of 51 years (N = 9) were selected for the study from a ten days' Yoga Shibir for Diabetes Prevention held at 'LIFE', Rajkot, organized by Saurashtra Medical & Educational Charitable Trust. Through questionnaire-method, samples have answered pre-test and post-test scale, made by Yashveer Singh and Mahesh Bhargava in English version, but I have used its Gujarati Version, Prepared by Yogesh Jogsan, Department of Psychology, Saurashtra University, Rajkot. Blood sugar level of all the subjects have been tested pathologically through 'GOD/POD Enzymatic Method' on the first and last day of the Shibir. The findings very effectively present a very good decrease in random blood sugar level (men 46.3 mg./dl), in fasting blood sugar level (mean 14.4 mg./dl.) and in post-prandial blood sugar level (mean 18.7 mg./dl). Computed t-value shows also a non-significant change, but we get noticeable improvements at the mean level which shows a need of Yoga for a long time. So, the study proposes that Yoga is great remedy to cure Diabetes as well as it is very beneficial to improve emotional maturity in the Diabetic persons. Pages: 101-104Yogesh A.

Emotional intelligence and burnout among middle level executives Pages: 113-114 Umed Singh and Kanupriya (Department of Psychology, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra) The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the dimensions of emotional intelligence and burnout in middle level managers of private organizations. The sample consisted of 125 middle level managers ranging in age from 23 to 60 years with the mean age of 41.5 years. The data were collected by administering Maslach Burnout Inventory (General Survey) and Multidimensional Measure of Emotional Intelligence (M M E I). Maslach Burnout Inventory was scored for three variables, viz., Exhaustion, Cynicism, and Professional Efficacy. MMEI provided five scores for Empathy, Managing Emotions, Motivating Oneself, Self-awareness, and Handling Relations. Obtained data were analysed by descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlations. The results demonstrated that exhaustion has the significant negative relationship with four measures of emotional intelligence i.e. managing emotions, motivating oneself, self awareness and handing relations. Cynicism has been found to have significant positive correlation with empathy; and negative with managing emotions, motivating oneself, and handling relations. Professional Efficacy yielded significant positive correlations with managing emotions, motivating oneself, self awareness and handling relations. The findings of the present study depict the structured relationship between the dimensions of emotional intelligence and burnout; and are suggestive that cultivation of emotional intelligence can be an effective strategy for reducing burnout and enhancing the professional efficacy among the corporate executives.

The burden of care giving was therefore found to be associated with reduced quality of life. In this study the “quality of life” and “perception care giver burden” were assessed using the adapted 12 item version of the Zarit Burden Interview (AZI) and the WHO Quality of Life (BREF) instrument. The care givers coping and quality of psychological effectiveness in dealing with multi-tasking pattern of work were analyzed. 103 care givers of Alzheimer's patients in Visakhapatnam were randomly assigned into three groups. The first group of care givers were monitored to listen 20 minutes of Chakra Balancing Instrumental Music per day over a period of one month. The second group of care givers participated in a one hour 'support Alzheimer's' group discussion held a once a week for a period of one month. The third group comprised of the control group with no interventions given. Results indicated significantly lesser degree of burden and higher level of quality of life experience for the group of care givers monitored with music. The control group of subjects reported highest index of burden perceptions with lower quality of life evaluations. Findings of the study are recommending the use of music therapy as an alternative intervention technique to facilitate stress release, improve relaxation and balance, better psychosocial health and better coping techniques for care givers.

(Students above 18 years), 72 tobacco users and 72 non-tobacco users were selected from different colleges in Rajasthan state, India. They were administered the Raven's Progressive Matrices Ravens, (1988) and Academic Stress Scale, Lal, Misra and Pandey (1985).
