Copyright form
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.
Proof reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Ethical Guidelines for the author
• Authors should adhere to publication requirements that submitted work is original and has not been published elsewhere in any language. Work should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication. If articles are co-published this fact should be made clear to readers.
• Copyright material (e.g. tables, figures or extensive quotations) should be reproduced only with appropriate permission and acknowledgement.
• Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced.
• Data, text, figures or ideas originated by other researchers should be properly acknowledged and should not be presented as if they were the authors’ own
• All sources of research funding, including direct and indirect financial support, supply of equipment or materials, and other support (such as specialist statistical or writing assistance) should be disclosed.
• Authors should disclose the role of the research funder(s) or sponsor (if any) in the research design, execution, analysis, interpretation and reporting
• The research literature serves as a record not only of what has been discovered but also of who made the discovery. The authorship of research publications should therefore accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting.
• In cases where major contributors are listed as authors while those who made less substantial, or purely technical, contributions to the research or to the publication are listed in an acknowledgement section, the criteria for authorship and acknowledgement should be agreed at the start of the project.
• Researchers should ensure that only those individuals who meet authorship criteria (i.e. made a substantial contribution to the work) are rewarded with authorship and that deserving authors are not omitted. Institutions and journal editors should encourage practices that prevent guest, gift, and ghost authorship.
• All authors should agree to be listed and should approve the submitted and accepted versions of the publication. Any change to the author list should be approved by all authors including any who have been removed from the list. The corresponding author should act as a point of contact between the editor and the other authors and should keep co-authors informed and involve them in major decisions about the publication (e.g. responding to reviewers’ comments).
• Authors should work with the editor or publisher to correct their work promptly if errors or omissions are discovered after publication.
• Authors should abide by relevant conventions, requirements, and regulations to make materials, reagents, software or datasets available to other researchers who request them. Researchers, institutions, and funders should have clear policies for handling such requests. Authors must also follow relevant journal standards. While proper acknowledgement is expected, researchers should not demand authorship as a condition for sharing materials.
• Authors should follow publishers’ requirements that work is not submitted to more than one publication for consideration at the same time.
• Authors should inform the editor if they withdraw their work from review, or choose not to respond to reviewer comments after receiving a conditional acceptance.
• Authors should respond to reviewers’ comments in a professional and timely manner.
• Appropriate approval, licensing or registration should be obtained before the research begins and details should be provided in the report (e.g. Institutional Review Board, Research Ethics Committee approval, national licensing authorities for the use of animals).
• If requested by editors, authors should supply evidence that reported research received the appropriate approval and was carried out ethically (e.g. copies of approvals, licences, participant consent forms).
• Researchers should not generally publish or share identifiable individual data collected in the course of research without specific consent from the individual (or their representative). Researchers should remember that many scholarly journals are now freely available on the internet, and should therefore be mindful of the risk of causing danger or upset to unintended readers (e.g. research participants or their families who recognise themselves from case studies, descriptions, images or pedigrees).
• The appropriate statistical analyses should be determined at the start of the study and a data analysis plan for the prespecified outcomes should be prepared and followed.
• Researchers should publish all meaningful research results that might contribute to understanding. In particular, there is an ethical responsibility to publish the findings of all clinical trials. The publication of unsuccessful studies or experiments that reject a hypothesis may help prevent others from wasting time and resources on similar projects. If findings from small studies and those that fail to reach statistically significant results can be combined to produce more useful information (e.g. by meta-analysis) then such findings should be published.
• Authors should supply research protocols to journal editors if requested (e.g. for clinical trials) so that reviewers and editors can compare the research report to the protocol to check that it was carried out as planned and that no relevant details have been omitted. Researchers should follow relevant requirements for clinical trial registration and should include the trial registration number in all publications arising from the trial.

Pages: 205-207 The Indian life insurance industry has its own origin and history, since its inception. It has passed through many obstacles, hindrances to attain the present status. The income earning capacity of an individual citizen of a nation and the eagerness and awareness of the general public are the two key determinants of the growth of any insurance industry. For that they should provide wider and mass-employment opportunities and sound educational system. More over, the general public must be inculcated with more knowledge, awareness and importance about life insurance, and these steps help to boost the growth of insurance industries. In this Indian context, the insurance habit among the general public during the independence decade was quite rare and in the following decades, it slowly got increased. There was a remarkable improvement in the Indian insurance industry soon after the acceptance and adaptation of Liberalization, Privatization, and Globalization (LPG) in the year 1991. After 1991 the Indian life insurance industry has geared up in all respects, as well as it is being forced to face a lot of healthy competition from many national as well as international private insurance players. The fall in the savings rate and increased competition in the primary market and particularly the aggressive mobilization by the Mutual Fund posed serious challenges before LIC. The present paper reviews the impact of globlisation, its threats and how to avoid those threats. Pages: 205-207Sunena Jain (Department of Economics, FC College, Hisar, Haryana) |

Pages: 196-199 Advertising is the communication link between the seller and the buyers or the consumer. It does not simply provide information about products and services but is an active attempt at influencing people to action by an overt appeal to reason or emotion. Advertisements are designed to sell the products of the advertiser and to influence favourably the public mind individually and collectively with respect to the interests of the advertiser. Advertising inspires customers to purchase the products. It is said that an advertisemsnt is waste It only increase the cost and the money spent on it also goes waste. But today in the age of competition advertisement has become a part and parcel of man's life and it haunts us all the time. In this modern age even a progressive businessman cannot succeed without the help of advertisement. He has to deliver an attractive and forceful advertisement to promote the sale of his product. Advertising is so powerful and popular that it is taken as equal to marketing. Mass media are used intensively to advertise products. Marketing without advertising seems to be impossible. Advertising is just a magic stick to actualize marketing goals. Pages: 196-199Sonia (IMSAR, Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak, Haryana) |

The present study conducted on working and non- working women of Haryana of four major cities. They were interviewed through a well structured questioner with objective in mind to assess influence of trade globalisation on fashion adoption and purchasing practices of women of Haryana. The study concluded that majority that foreign branded cosmetics were preferred by the maximum number of working women whereas these were used by comparatively less number of non-working women. Foreign branded purses were preferred by working and non-working women. Respondents' opinion regarding imported goods it is observed that majority of the working and non-working women experienced increase in availability of the imported goods. Views of the respondents regarding the change experienced in type/quantity/variety of clothing items after 2000 says that large number of working women felt change in type/quantity/variety of cosmetics followed by cardigans and shoes and sandals whereas 80 percent non-working women experienced change in type/quality/variety of cosmetics and slips followed by tops, shoes and sandals. The response for improvement in quality and variety of different items was positive by more than 50 percent of working and non-working women. Reasons for preference of imported garments over Indian garments by the respondents it is clear from the results that 'better quality' of the imported garments was the most important reason for preferring those to Indian garments followed by 'better style' by the non-working women and 'don't easily become common' by the working women. Other reasons for preferring imported garments were better fitting, symbol of status and economical. Pages: 193-195Saloni (Singhania University, Pacheri Bari, Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan)Neelam M.

Pages: 189-192 The current study examined the relationship between personality and aggression in females. The sample was comprised of 200 (Indian) university female students from different departments of Himachal Pradesh University. The results revealed the importance of personality in determining the aggression with 18% of variance in Physical aggression, 14% of variance in verbal aggression and 16% of variance in indirect aggression thus accounting for 48% of variance in totality. Findings were obtained through stepwise regression analysis. Pages: 189-192Anita Sharma (Department of Psychology, Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla) |
Pages: 184-188 The present study was conducted on “status of women in MGNREGA” in district Bhiwani and Sirsa. They were interviewed by a well structured Questionnaire with objectives in mind to access the elected women's participation in Panchayati Raj Institution and the role of women in MGNREGA for women Empowerment. The data concluded reveals that PRI women leaders in Bhiwani are more Educated than Sirsa PRI women leaders. The scenario of women's participation has increased due to literacy and the women who are more educated are bold, good communicator, confident, participating in meetings and who are less educated they are being supported by their Male Counterpart and on their behalf, their Male counterpart are representing them. Women PRI leaders who are literate are more Active and doing their work in transparent manner. Women reservations in PRI and MGNREGA are helpful in women Empowerment to a very great extent. Among the total PRI women leaders majority don't feel free and less no. of women feel free in Interaction in PRI meetings. At Gram Panchayat level majority of Panches don't feel free while at Panchyat Samiti level most of women and at Zila parishad level all the women feel free while interacting in PRI meetings. Among the total some of women leaders do not take decision while some take decision sometimes and few leaders take decision often. Women's are more active as Sarpanch, Panchayat Samiti Member and Zila Parishad Members. Attitude of family members of women PRI leaders are most of the families are happy and supportive, some are partially happy and few are not happy. The reason was found that women leader create problems in household work. However the families who are happy and supportive and partially happy have other women in their home to complete their household task.

Pages: 175-178 As emotions do play central role in the life of an individual, one is expected to have higher emotional maturity in order to lead a effective life. It is also true that our behaviour is constantly influenced by the emotional maturity level that we possess. Especially, the adolescents who are observed to be highly emotional in their dealings need to be studied. Emotions are great motivating forces throughout the span of human life; affecting aspirations, actions and thoughts of an individual. Adolescents is a period when the behaviour getting influenced highly by the emotions. Emotional maturity can be understood in terms of ability of self control which in turn is result of thinking and learning. People with achievement motives are motivated by standards of excellence, delineated roles and responsibilities and concrete, timely feedback. And the power motive is activated when people are allowed to have an impact, impress those in power, or beat competitors. The present study objective is to study the Impact of Working and Non-working Mothers on the Emotional Maturity and Achievement Motivation of Adolescents.For this research, 60 adolescents (30 adolescents of working mothers and 30 adolescents of non-working) from the age range of 12 to 17 years were randomly selected from the public schools of Delhi and NCR Region.The results reported no significant difference between emotional maturity and achievement motivation of adolescents of working and non-working mothers and no gender difference was also found between the two. The study provides further research across other sections of society to uncover the possible differences or similarities that may be present.

Pages: 169-174 In the present study, the focus was on adolescents' understanding of emotion, including their ideas of emotional competence. In addition, adults' construals of emotion, and emotional competence in children were investigated. Identifying perspectives on factors which influence the development of emotional competence was also attempted. Data generation techniques included conversational-style interactions, termed as active interviews, of individuals and small groups; certain classroom-based written exercises, and enactments followed up with focus group discussions, and incidental observations. Audio recording of the interviews, and field notes were the modes of data management. Analysis of data was approached qualitatively, with a search for themes, in alignment with the objectives of the study. Findings revealed that the adolescents portrayed emotions as subjective experiences with somato-psychic components and behavioral display elicited by, and experienced in, social settings and interpersonal contexts. Familiarity with Hindi emotion terms was amply evident. One's nature or disposition as a contributor to one's emotions and the self was evident in the accounts of older adolescents. Emotional qualities of others have been described as traits and transient displays Emotional competence as characterized by management of emotions was found to be relevant.

Pages: 161-164 The study aimed at studying the amount of aggression among the youth in the present day world and how it further affects their academic progress. The study was conducted on students between the age group of 19-25 year of urban background. The sample included both undergraduate and graduate students. Aggression Scale ( A- Scale) by Km. Roma Pal and Dr. Tasneem Naqvi were used. The tests were conducted in a series of sessions. In total 150 students were tested, out of which 75 boys and 75 girls participated. The results gave a complete view of how aggression in youth affects their academic performance. Results revealed how abuse, alcohol, drug use, gangs, bullying and violent media place kids at risk for becoming a perpetrator or victim of violence. Higher the aggression level a decline was seen in an individual academic score while in case of lower aggression the academic score has either risen or remained in the same range. Gender differences were also noted where, more females have shown high aggression level as compared to males and males have shown more steep falls in the graphs of academics.

Pages: 157-160 Quality of life has been one of the major areas of interest and attention seeking concern for researchers. There is no doubt that life is common to all but quality of life varies from individual to individual, irrespective of their age and background. However, we as researchers tend to group individuals matching on some aspect or the other, thus the quality of life of that particular group will be static and dynamic, this statement does not hold much weight. But yes, people having some of the common factors in some aspect of life would share some common quality of life that is for sure. Self Efficacy and Self Regulation are considered and proven as key determinants of quality of life and life satisfaction over the globe and across the ages, but independently. This may be a new and first attempt to examine their strength i.e. magnitude and the direction of relationship with quality of life in one study or altogether. Participants for the present study consisted of 120 school going adolescents, age ranging between 13-17 years, who were randomly selected from boarding schools of Solan District of Himachal Pradesh. A selection criterion of sample was age, socio-economic status, educational level and occupational status. WHO Quality of Life Scale, Self Regulation Questionnaire-Academics, and General Self Efficacy Scale were administered on the participants and Bivariate correlation technique of parametric statistics was applied on the raw scores obtained to draw the inference about the data. Results revealed that there is significant positive correlation among the variables i.e. QOL & GSE; QOL & SRQ, but QOL & SRQ are comparatively highly significantly positively correlated than QOL & GSE, however a distinctive result was revealed that GSE & SRQ-A are not significantly correlated.
