Addressing cultural and linguistic diversity in Indian schools Pages: 582-585 Manju Elizabeth Alexander (Department of Psychology) Students' differences in culture and language predispose them to different communication practices and even different test-taking skills. In a culturally responsive classroom, effective teaching and learning occur in a culturally supported, learner-centered context, whereby the strengths students bring to school are identified, nurtured, and utilized to promote student achievement. This creates an environment of acceptance and respect for the students' ethnic background and fosters development of ethnic identity. The purpose of education is to enable learners of all demographics to participate successfully in the modern economy and society. It is essential that children are given the best educational experience possible based on sound educational theory and practice. This paper seeks to provide a framework within which teachers and schools can choose and plan experiences that they think children should have.

Relations with parents and teachers as predictors of academic success among adolescents Pages: 588-591 Subhash Chandra Singh (VBS Purvanchal University, Jaunpur, U.P.) S.C. Gautam (Upardaha P. G. College, Baraut, Allahabad, U.P. ) This study tries to examine the influence of students' relations with parents and teachers on their academic success. A sample of 160 high school male and female students was drawn by purposive sampling method from the different schools of eastern UP (14-17 years). Tools used were: Parent-Adolescent Relationship Scale, Student-Teacher Relationship Scale and Academic Success Scale. Results indicate that parent-adolescent and student-teacher relationships are significantly correlated with academic success variables and parent-adolescent and student-teacher relations are significantly contributing to academic success variables. This study has significant implications for teachers, parents and researchers. The students, who have positive relations with their parents, usually are also able in making good relations with their teachers. If students have warm, supportive, caring and encouraging teachers, they enjoy and are involved in school more. They always try to maintain such positive relations with their teachers by their greater effort in understanding lesions or topics, commitment and valuing of school. Such efforts and environment help them in all types of psychosocial and academic development. Pages: 588-591Subhash Chandra Singh (VBS Purvanchal University, Jaunpur, U.P.)S.C. Gautam (Upardaha P. G.

Parenting stress and parenting style: An exploration in the mothers of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disordered children Pages: 592-596 Sumith K. Sridharan and Baby Shari (Department of Psychology, University of Calicut, Kerala) All people have 'behaviours' in order to function in this world aptly. Sometimes it is behaviour that moves us towards our goals and sometimes the behaviour itself may become a problem and interferes with the proper functioning of an individual. The children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder are quite different from normal children both in behavioural as well as learning aspects. As AD/HD children are very energetic and the symptoms of AD/HD are most often present from the age of three, and sometimes last into adult life, the burden of carrying and handling them are more readily felt by the mothers. Mothers of AD/HD children are challenged and frustrated from time to time by the noncompliance and misbehavior of their children which makes them react negatively to such behaviours of their children. They were found to have more stress, less parenting satisfaction, lower self-confidence, less warmth and involvement with their children, used corporal punishment and higher levels of authoritarian parenting styles. These were seen to be more significant than the mothers of non problematic children. It was found that mothers' behaviour and disciplinary practices itself made the child more prone to express symptoms like non-responsiveness, over-reaction, behaviour problem etc. The paper explores multi-dimensional parenting behaviour and parenting stress of mothers of AD/HD children and tries to see whether there is significant difference in parenting stress amongst the mothers of AD/HD children who adopt non-deviant, fully deviant and partially deviant mothering. Results show that Mothers of AD/HD children adopt positive as well as negative dimensions of parenting behavior, to a great extent and belong to a partially deviant parenting. Mothers of AD/HD children adopt different styles of parenting behavior and it differs significantly in the parenting stress and its sub-factors, which they experience. Pages: 592-596Sumith K.

Relationship matrix: A social psychological approach Pages: 602-608 K. Kalaiselvan (Lanco Infratech Ltd (EPC division), Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh) K.P. Naachimuthu (PSG Institute of Management, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu) Relationship(s) are purely a choice, except those blood relations that are by chance. There are different people that we meet in our life and get acquainted to, attracted to, attached to and sometimes aversive too. Sociometry is the study of human connectedness. Sociometry is based on the fact that people make choices in interpersonal relationships. Whenever people gather, they make choices - where to sit or stand; choices about who is perceived as friendly and who not, who is central to the group, who is rejected, who is isolated. As Moreno (1953) says, “Choices are fundamental facts in all ongoing human relations, choices of people and choices of things. It is immaterial whether the motivations are known to the chooser or not; it is immaterial whether [the choices] are inarticulate or highly expressive, whether rational or irrational. They do not require any special justification as long as they are spontaneous and true to the self of the chooser. Each and every relationship is hence different and knowing them they are different and handling these differences is a greatest challenge in life. If we understand that each one is different to us, it has to be clearly manifested in the way we treat them, greet them or relate with them. In a relationship (especially intimate ones) we fail most of the time to make our loved ones feel that they are loved and they are special. Failing to do this either would end up in others having a set of expectations from us, which we may not or do not want to fulfill and / or we would end up in not differentiating our near and dear ones from a mere acquaintances or associates. When we can handle different relationships, we will be able to handle differences in relationship(s), since we know the importance or level of intimacy of that relationship(s) to us The concept of 'personal space' in social psychology talks more about placing different people at different physical distances. This paper attempts to build a model (based on several social psychology theories) on human relationships by classifying different relationships, based on the importance, intimacy and emotional connect / bonding with which we see that relationship(s).

Predictors of mathematics anxiety among naga adolescent students in Kohima Pages: 609-614 P. Don Bosco and V.D. Swaminathan (Department of Psychology, University of Madras, Chennai) “Mathematics anxiety” was first detected in the late 1950's. Dreger and Aiken (1957) noticed undergraduate students reacting emotionally to arithmetic and mathematics. They introduced for the first time a new term 'Mathematics Anxiety' to describe students' attitudinal difficulties with mathematics. It was recognized as a problem as early as 1970, since then it has become a global problem among students. Mathematics anxiety has become most researched topic among psychologists and educationists for almost 40 years. The long school administrative experience of the researcher and the class 10 Nagaland Board of School Education results (2007-2011) are self explanatory to show that mathematics anxiety among school students are on the rise. A study on “Predictors of Mathematics Anxiety among Naga Adolescent Students in Kohima” Nagaland (2011) was a felt need to find out whether Numerical Ability, Study Skills and General Anxiety be the predictors of mathematics anxiety among Naga adolescent students in Kohima. The study was also intended to find out whether there would be gender difference on Numerical Ability, Study Skills, General Anxiety and Mathematics Anxiety. Random Sampling method was used to choose the institutions and also sections of class 9 and class 10 to avoid bias and disparity. The sample selected for the present study included 584 students (291 girls and 293 boys of classes 9 and 10) from six private unaided co-educational Higher Secondary Schools in Kohima Nagaland. Multiple Regressions, Path Analysis, 2X2 factorial ANOVA was used for the analysis of the data. Numerical ability and Study skills had significant inverse relationship with cognitive dimension of mathematical anxiety. This proved the fact that the greater the numerical ability and study skills the lesser the cognitive component of mathematics anxiety. Both Numerical ability and Study skills contributed inversely to the behavioural aspect of mathematics anxiety. Numerical ability and Study skills showed significant negative correlation with somatic manifestations of anxiety. Numerical ability as well as study skills showed significant inverse relationship with social aspect of mathematics anxiety. All the predictors such as Numerical Ability, Study Skills, and General Anxiety have significantly contributed to mathematics anxiety. Though there was no significant gender difference with regard to Numerical Ability but boys differed significantly from girls on mathematics anxiety. The common belief that boys are superior to girls on numerical ability was not accepted and there was no significant gender difference on numerical ability. Mathematics anxiety is real, and is present in all age levels regardless of their mathematical ability (Betz, 1978). It is a 'learned' emotional response to one or more of the following: participating in a mathematics class, listening to lecture, working through a mathematics problem, and discussing mathematics therefore this learned behaviour could be 'unlearned'. Naga Adolescent students in Kohima found to be having moderate mathematics anxiety, added to that general anxiety and mathematics anxiety were more among girls than boys. Pages: 609-614P.

Impact of self-esteem, hope, emotional maturity and school adjustment of Banjara adolescents Pages: 615-619 Suneetha J. Hangal (S.K.Arts College & H.S.K Science Institute, Hubli, Karnataka) Adolescence is the most vulnerable age for development when it demands intensive readjustment to family, school, and social life from the individual. The Banjara nomadic community has been leading a segregated life away from the mainstream. So the present comparative study has been undertaken to explore the difference between the Banjara and Non-Banjara adolescents in their self-esteem, hope, emotional maturity and adjustment. The study also examines the association between self-esteem, hope, emotional maturity and the adjustment of the adolescents in general and Banjara adolescents in particular. The sample comprised 100 (40 Banjara & 60 Non-Banjara) adolescents in the age group of 14 to 17 years from the Chamanaal area of Yadgir district, North Karnataka. The adolescents were assessed using the Rosenberg Self-esteem Questionnaire (1965), State Hope Scale (Snyder et al, 1996), Emotional Maturity Scale (Singh & Bhargava, 1990) and Adjustment Inventory for School Students (Sinha & Singh, 1993).The data were analyzed using't' and correlation tests. The results showed that there is significant differences among the Banjara and Non-Banjara adolescents with regard to emotional maturity (on all the dimensions as well as overall) and emotional adjustment. Further, it was also observed that hope is significantly correlated with the adjustment of the Basnjara as well as Non-Banjara adolescents. Pages: 615-619Suneetha J.

Influence of organizational identification and job-tenure on organizational commitment Pages: 620-623 Fatima Bi and Shamim A. Ansari (Department of Psychology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh) The objective of the present investigation was to study organizational identification and job-tenure as a function of organizational commitment. Data were collected from a sample of 287 teachers teaching in Aligarh Muslim University. For collecting data on 'organizational commitment' scale developed by Shah and Ansari (2000) were used having three dimensions namely, 'affective', 'continuance' and 'normative' commitment and for 'organizational identification' scale developed by researchers (Bi & Ansari, 2011) was used, having seven facets viz., 'organizational prestige', 'organizational belongingness', 'autonomy in organization', 'employee-centered management', 'promotional opportunities', 'supervisory behaviour' and 'transparency'. Job-tenure was assessed the number of years spent in his/her professional career. Results of regression analysis revealed that 'organizational identification' is significantly and positively predicting three criterion variables viz., 'organizational commitment', 'continuance commitment', and 'normative commitment' while 'organizational belongingness' emerged as significant and positive predictor of 'organizational commitment' and 'normative commitment'. 'Organizational prestige' only predict positively to 'affective commitment' while 'transparency' predict negatively to 'normative commitment'. It is to mention that job-tenure has not been found instrumental in predicting 'organizational commitment' and its various dimensions. The findings are discussed in the light of supporting studies and their conclusions are given. Pages: 620-623Fatima Bi and Shamim A.

Influence of self concept and psychological wellbeing on academic performance Pages: 624-626 Shabana Azmi and Shamim A. Ansari (Department of Psychology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh) The present deliberation is aimed to see the influence of self concept and psychological wellbeing on academic performance. For this purpose a sample group of 10th standard of school boys and girls (N=300) were chosen and the tests were administered on these students. A self concept measure developed by Ahluwalia (1986) was used for taping information regarding students' perception pertaining to their self concept. For measuring psychological wellbeing, a scale developed by Bhogle and Prakash (1995) was used. And for academic performance the results of the students for the last three consecutive years were taken and the averages of these were obtained for determining students' performance level. Adopting 2X2 factorial design, Two way ANOVA was run by using SPSS package. The obtained results have clearly indicated that pattern of influence of self concept and psychological wellbeing independently as well as in conjunction thereof. Having run this statistics, it was found that both the independent variables have their significant influence on academic performance but interactional effect of both independent variables was not found statistically significant.

Opinion of college boys and girls about dowry, pre-martial counselling and dating Pages: 627-629 Zarine Immanuel (Mother Teresas Womens University, Tamilnadu) Kalyani Kenneth (Rajiv Gandhi National Institute for Youth Development, Tamilnadu) This study is aiming to bring about changes in the attitude of today's adolescents and to get their opinion on sensitive topics like dating and pre-marital counselling which is a taboo and unheard of in certain places in India. The survey was conducted among 200 college boys and girls from the college in Tuticorin District, Tamil Nadu. Seventy-five and seventy- three percentage of boys and girls respectively opined against taking dowry for various reasons while the remaining were in favour of it. About eighty nine percent of boys and seventy percent of girls expressed the need of having premarital counselling for making their prospective marriage successful. Around seventy-five percent of boys and fifty- five percent of girls were ready to date their prospective spouses before marriage to get to know them well. It can be seen in the study that the number of adolescent boys who are against taking dowry is seventy-five percent and for the adolescent girls it is seventy three percent. However the fact that the dowry system is still widely practical contradicts these views. There was a positive feedback for the need of pre-marital counselling.

Adaptive behaviour in children with mental retardation as a correlate of maternal stress Pages: 630-635 Abdul Majeed Bhat and Omar H. Dar (Department of Psychology, University of Kashmi) S. Alam (Department of Psychology, AMU Aligarh) Research consistently indicates that parents of children with mental retardation report considerably more stress associated with child characteristics than parents with typically developing children. It is commonly believed that the adaptive functioning and problem behaviour of a child with mental retardation plays a significant role in the stress a parent experiences especially mothers. The present study examines maternal stress and adaptive behaviour of children with mental retardation and attempts to find out relationship among maternal stress in mothers with that of adaptive behaviour in children with mental retardation. Participants consisted of a purposively selected 60 mothers and their respective children with mental retardation. Mothers ranged in age from 26 to 40years, with an average age of 33years (SD=4.292) and their children with mental retardation ranged in age from 48 to 192months, with an average age of 114.767 months (SD=33.742). Maternal stress in mothers was assessed using the Family Interview for Stress and Coping in Mentally Retarded Section-I (FISC-MR-I). Adaptive and Problem Behaviour in children with mental retardation were assessed using the Vineland Social Maturity Scale (VSMS) respectively. The results established a relation between maternal stress and adaptive behaviour of the child (r=-0.617), maternal stress and this correlation was found statistically significant. The specific mother related and child related demographics that are related to elevated maternal stress levels are discussed. The correlation among maternal stress scale domains and adaptive behaviour scale domains scales are also discussed. Pages: 630-635Abdul Majeed Bhat and Omar H.
