The education system in India primarily focuses on teaching students just academic and literacy aspects of life. Increasing knowledge base is the core goal of education in Indian schools and colleges. The purpose of education has been to acquaint students with basic knowledge of languages, social and basic sciences, and mathematics. Spiritual and religious base value education has been ignored in the contemporary education system. Educationists and psychologists have realized that the education in schools and colleges need to be broadened and should include teaching and training the positive behavioral skills which are adaptive for everyday living. The World Health Organization has also emphasized on teaching school and college students the basic skills of life known as life skills. Emergence of positive psychology has also shifted the focus of education toward teaching and training in positive psychological states like happiness, gratitude, forgiveness and spirituality. This is often known as positive schooling. Gratitude and forgiveness are also the values cherished by the major religions of the world like Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity. Research has shown that gratitude and forgiveness in people are associated with well-being and happiness. The current paper will focus on interventions which will increase gratitude in school and college going students. There is also a need to incorporate these concepts in school and college curriculum to enhance well-being of students. There is also a need to place professional counselors and psychologist in schools and colleges for imparting training in these values to students.

The age of the participants ranged between 17 and 21 years. The participants were investigated using Raven Standard Progressive Matrices (1983), The NEO- Personality Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1991) Emotional Intelligence scale (Mangal & Mangal, 2004). The data were analyzed by using Pearson's Product Moment correlation and t test. The results of t test indicated significant difference in scores of intelligence, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, Intra-Personal Awareness, Inter-Personal Awareness and Inter-Personal Management, for males and females. Females' correlation analysis indicated that neuroticism has strong negative correlations with Intra-Personal Awareness .Extrovert personality has significant positive correlations with Intra-Personal Management. Openness demonstrated significant positive correlations with Intra-Personal Management and Inter-Personal Management. Agreeableness also correlated positively with Inter-Personal Awareness and Inter-Personal Management. However no association was found between Conscientiousness and Emotional intelligence. On the other hand male correlation analysis revealed strong negative correlation of intelligence with Intra-Personal and Inter-Personal Management.

The purpose of this study is to explore the patterns of relationship between different career stages and different dimensions of school environment in different school teachers selected from different school of Kolkata. Huberman, (1989) proposed the theory of career stage model which describes teachers' professional work at different stages. 300 data were obtained from the school teachers of Kolkata. Career Stage Scale developed by McCormick, and Barnett (2008) and Revised School-Level Environment Questionnaire developed by Johnson, Stevens and Zvoch (2007) have been used in this study. Findings revealed that collaboration, student relations, school resources, decision making and instructional innovation are significantly and positively correlated with most of the career stages. Stepwise regression analysis indicated that all the career stages were significantly predicted by different dimensions of school environment. This study highlighted that teachers on different career stages are often characterized as having more positive relation with colleagues and students, interested in experimentations in the schools and older and experienced teachers actively take part in the decisions of schools than other teachers.

Occupational stress is a growing global concern which has increased dramatically during the past few decades. The deleterious effects of occupational stress are not only one of the leading concerns for individual as well as organization, but also one of the most costly occupational health issues. To deal with occupational stress personality may affect coping strategy selection directly or indirectly by constraining use of specific strategies, or by influencing the nature and severity of stressors experienced. The influence of personality on the frequency, intensity, and nature of stressors experienced may partially explain relations between personality and coping. Research shows that personality traits influence the selection of coping strategy. The present study is designed to examine the relationship among the study measures and to examine the moderating effect of personality on coping and occupational stress relationship. The sample includes 72 police personnel drawn from Kurukshetra and Hisar district of Haryana. The participants were assessed with NEO-FFI, Occupational Stress Index and Ways of Coping Questionnaire. Results showed that neuroticism and extraversion was found to be correlated more strongly with some ways of coping than other dimensions of big-five factors model of personality. Neuroticism was found to be associated positively with occupational stress. Extraversion, openness and conscientiousness were found to be correlated negatively with occupational stress. Occupational stress was found to have negatively significant relationship with positive reappraisal way of coping. The moderated regression analysis showed that coping moderates substantially the relationship between personality and occupational stress.

It guaranteed the person from any kind of the unwanted interference in his life by public in which the public is not necessarily concept of right of privacy in India and ever growing need to maintain and preserve the privacy of the persons.

This paper has been designed to test achievement in English for XI class students. Different steps followed to develop the achievement test were Planning, Preparation, Pre try-out, Try-out, Scoring, Item analysis (difficulty & item discrimination) and Final form of the test. Initially, an objective type achievement test including 200 multiple choice items and fill in the blanks was administered for try-out to 200 students selected randomly from different senior secondary schools in District Rohtak. Final selection of the items was made on the basis of difficulty value and discrimination index of each item. The investigators selected most of the items of medium difficulty and a few of higher and lower difficulty values were also included. Ebel's (1979) criteria and guidelines were used for categorizing discriminating indices. Split-half method was used for estimation of reliability and 0.90 was found as the calculated value of Reliability coefficient. The test was also validated against the criterion of content validity. It was reported that most of the items were falling in acceptable range of difficulty and discrimination level; however some items were rejected due to their poor discrimination index. In this way, 100 items were selected for final test. The scoring key for the final test was also prepared. The time limit for the final test was one hour.
