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.

A magazine published by Directorate of Extension Education from the last fifty years. It covers all important aspects of agriculture that affects the day to day life of farming community like; recent developments in the field of agriculture, animal husbandry, home sciences, along with government schemes and programmes related to welfare of farming community. Approximately 3,500 copies of Haryana Kheti are printed every month. To study the farmers' preferences, overall utility and constraints faced by the readers of the magazine, a study was conducted on the subscribers of Haryana Kheti. The sample was selected by choosing 10 respondents randomly from Eastern, Western, Northern and Southern Haryana, respectively. Another 10 respondents were selected from neighboring states of Punjab and Rajasthan. Data was collected by sending postal mail to the subscribers' addresses and conducting telephonic interview by using a well structures questionnaire/ Interview schedule. The collected data were analyzed and interpreted for drawing the conclusion. The study revealed the “Monthly Krishi Karaya” (Agricultural practices of the month) was the most preferred article, followed by articles on Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and articles on Government policies. As far as, overall utility of Haryana Kheti is concerned; more than sixty percent farmers told it as 'Very Use full'. Analysis of data related to major constraints faced by the farmers showed that 'delay in delivery' was very serious constraint, closely followed by 'Poor or lack of photographs' and 'poor printing and paper quality'.

Pages: 467-476 Mohamed Mousa (Estonian Business School, Estonia, Europe) As a result of globalization and the interactions of people with various identities, diversity has become a noticeable norm in today's business life. Accordingly, managing such cultural diversity requires a dependence on a much more tolerant culture in which employees seek to attain both career and organizational objectives without being hobbled by factors of religion, race, ethnicity, and so on. During the last two decades, organizational cynicism, which is the employee's negative feelings towards his employing organization, has found a place in academic management literature. It has a vital role in interpreting many organizational unwanted behaviors in the organizational context such as: absenteeism, day dreaming and the state of being careless when doing work. This study identifies the effect of cultural diversity challenges (communication, discrimination & training) on cognitive, affective and behavioral cynicism by conducting a quantitative study of physicians in Kasr El Eini public hospital in Egypt. Upon collecting 100 questionnaire forms and using multiple regressions to analyze them, it appears that only communication affects both cognitive and affective cynicism whereas, both communication and training affect behavioral cynicism.

Pages: 460-466 Priyanka Behrani and Kiransinh Rajput (Department of Psychology, Faculty of Education and Psychology, The M.S.University of Baroda, Vadodara, Gujarat) Work and employment play a central role in people's lives and are essential factors in social inclusion and well-being. The employment rate of persons with disabilities is much less in comparison to the non-disabled especially in developing countries. People with disabilities face many challenges from both side inside and outside when integrating into the workforce, Inside like self stigma and lower self esteem and outside such as overcoming co-workers and employers' negative attitudes and perceptions. The objective of this study was to assess the attitudes of employees among manufacturing and service sector towards employment of people with disabilities. Total 200 employees from service sector and manufacturing sector were the sample of the study. The questionnaires was used for data collection which included sample's demographic detail, company background, their experience in employing people with disabilities, their attitude toward employees with disabilities and their perceptions on barriers they have to face when employing people with disabilities. Result shows that employees of the organisation have positive attitude toward employment of people with disabilities. There is no significant difference between employees of manufacturing sector and service sector in terms of their attitude towards employment of people with disabilities. The study is useful for stakeholders who are involved in policy making for hiring, retaining, and training of employees with disability. Pages: 460-466

Pages: 456-459 Madalaimuthu A. and Kadhiravan S. (Department of Psychology, Periyar University, Salem, Tamil Nadu) Civil service aspirants in India undergo rigorous coaching classes and take regular test series for competitive examination. They endure immense stress in course of preparation throughout the year. Various factors like tough competition among aspirants, depleting resources, unpredictable nature of competitive examinations, and inadequate family support could contribute to their stress. Continuous exposure to such stressful environment tends to have negative effects on physical as well as emotional health of aspirants. Coping skills and strategies could help aspirants to overcome the challenges posed by stressful encounters. This study explored the relationship between coping skills and positive mental health among civil service aspirants. A sample of 122 aspirants from civil service coaching centers in Chennai was selected through simple random sampling and the data was collected with the help of Coping Skills Inventory and Positive Mental Health Inventory. Results revealed that coping skills of aspirants had a significant positive relationship with personal growth and autonomy, emotional support dimensions of mental health. The findings are discussed in this article. Pages: 456-459

Ahuja, Garima Srivastava, and Priyanka Padhy (Department of Psychology, Lady Shri Ram College for Women, University of Delhi, Delhi) The purpose of the current study was to evaluate a team building training intervention on 99 college going female students. This study followed a between group post-only experimental design where the experimental group underwent team building training and the control group did not. The training workshop conducted by NLP practitioners was based on Tuckman's model (1965) where the activities were divided into 5 stages of team building using innovative pedagogical tools. The effectiveness of training was assessed at three levels of evaluation (reaction, learning & behaviour) as per the Kirkpatrick's model with the help of Training Feedback Form (measuring level 1-Reaction), Knowledge about teams' questionnaire (measuring level 2-learning outcomes), and Perceived Cohesion Scale (assessing level 3-Behaviour/Group Cohesion). t tests for independent samples revealed that the training program was effective. The experimental group's level of learning and group cohesion was significantly higher than that of the control group. The current study contributes support for the usage of team building training, and the Kirkpatrick model for evaluation in the Indian context. Pages: 450-455

Pages: 442-445 Manju Mishra (Department of Psychology, H. R. PG College, Khalilabad, Uttar Pradesh) This study was carried out to investigate self esteem happiness level of hosteller and non- hosteller of boys and girls. 120 students studying in undergraduate and post graduate classes were participated in the study, Half of them were hostellers and half of them were non- hostellers. Hostel life has many advantages and disadvantages for the students. Many students adjust themselves in hostel life and do well in their studies and remain happy. While some others hostellers find it difficult to live away from home and are constantly disturbed. They are unable to focus on study and remain unhappy too. This study mental health, happiness and self esteem of hostellers and non- hostellers boys and girls have been investigated. Self esteem is found to be correlated with happiness in earlier researches. Questionnaires were used to measure self esteem, and happiness level of participants. Result sows that self esteem had no significant impact on hosteller and non- hosteller. It was also non significant for gender too but hostellers was found better than non- hostellers. Hostellers were found to be happier that non- hostellers but girls students were more happy than boys in both samples whether they were hostellers or non- hostellers. Thus the effect of residence was not found significant in the study, only the effect of gender was found. Pages: 442-445

Pages: 438-441 Sanjay, Swamy H.M., Sunita Yadav, and Krishan Yadav (Department of Agricultural Economics, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana) To access the growth and structural changes taking place in pulses area, production, productivity and trade aspects this analysis was carried out for a period of 10 years ranging from 2007-08 to 2016-17. It was done by calculating compound and simple growth statistics and by developing separate transitional matrix for exports and imports. Results regarding area, production, productivity, collective quantity and value of exports exhibited 1.88 per cent, 3.63 per cent, 1.71 per cent, 5.45 per cent and 3.23 per cent rate of compound growth rate respectively. Markov chain analysis was attempted through linear programming method to assess the transition probabilities for the major pulses export markets of Indian pulses and nations importing pulses to India. The major Indian pulses export markets were categorized as stable market (UAE) and unstable markets (Pakistan & Saudi Arab) based on the magnitude of transition probabilities. The import transition matrix also brought forward Canada and Myanmar as most trusted and Australia & USA as most unstable suppliers of Indian pulses imports. In conclusion, the growth in production (3.63 %) of the world's largest producer was far behind the simultaneous growth in import quantity (17.12 %). Pages: 438-441

Pages: 429-433 Sarah Mehta and Hardeep Lal Joshi (Department of Psychology, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, Haryana) Emotion regulation strategies and difficulties in regulating one's emotions have been implicated in the study of depression in the past. The present study aims to extend the existing literature on the link between depression and emotion regulation among adolescents. The objective was to assess the relationship between different emotion regulation strategies and depression. At the same time the study examined emotion regulation strategies as the predictors of depression. The study was conducted on a sample of 400 adolescents with age ranging from 13 to 18 years. Significant correlations were found between depression and eight out of nine cognitive strategies self blame, blaming others, rumination, catastrophizing, positive refocusing, positive reappraisal, acceptance, and refocus on planning. Similarly, a robust positive correlation was found between depression and difficulties in emotion regulation subscales (non acceptance, goals, impulse, strategies, & clarity). The findings of the present study supported the stated hypotheses. Limited access to emotion regulation strategies, self blame, catastrophizing, positive reappraisal, lack of emotional clarity and impulse control difficulties were found to be the potent predictors of depression.

M., Sanjay, and Krishan Yadav (Department of Agricultural Economics, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar) After introduction of cocoa in early half of 20th century, it gained momentum in late 1990s only. Though the growth rates in area, production, export quantity and value were heartening, the actual situation of Indian export sector of cocoa products was disheartening. The paper attempts to quantify the changing structure of Indian cocoa products exports. Data for analysis was taken for a period of 16 years from 2000-01 to 2016-17. The Markov chain analysis was attempted through linear programming method to assess the transition probabilities for the major cocoa markets. The major Indian cocoa export markets were categorized as stable market (USA, China, & others) and unstable markets (Singapore, Netherland) based on the magnitude of transition probabilities. The major export markets for Indian cocoas were USA (14.9 %), Nepal (11.6 %), China (7.71 %), Netherland (6.94 %) and Singapore (5.06 %). The holistic conclusion leads to the need of emphasizing on productivity enhancing research, measures to stabilize existing markets and tapping other markets section for improvement in this sector.
