Effects of two demographic variables sex and length of service are explored on satisfaction with 11 job aspects of HIV/AIDS counselors working at Integrated Counseling and Testing Centers in India. Data from 653 counselors are collected by Counseling Supervisors in face-to-face personal interviews and are analyzed using 2 x 4 ANOVAs. Results revealed that male counselors are more satisfied than female counselors with salary; fresh counselors within less than one year of counseling job are the most satisfied group with respect to five job aspects; counselors with 1-3 years of length of service are the least satisfied group; and that except for those with 4-6 years of HIV/AIDS counseling service behind them, male counselors in all the other three groups with varying length of service are more satisfied with the amount of recognition that they get in their jobs in comparison to the female counselors. The study also revealed that as a group, HIV/AIDS counselors are least satisfied with security, salary and work-to-pay ratio underscoring the need for revising the same while also putting in place some job enrichment strategies to motivate the high performing counselors and retain them at the ICTCs.

The past two to three decades have witnessed an increased involvement of children and youth as researchers and a flourishing of related methodologies. This has resulted in a shift in research ethos, where researchers are interested in working with children rather than on them. These new trends have partly been a consequence of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). The present paper provides a comprehensible theoretical distinction between doing psychology “on” and doing psychology “with” children. An approach of working with children values and credits their opinions, perceptions, evaluations, and aspirations, whereas working on children implicitly or explicitly adheres to a biologically focused stage-like developmental models in which children are not positioned as competent social actors. The paper elaborates on the philosophical, epistemological, methodological practices, and potential outcomes that characterize these two ways of doing psychology. The paper unpacks the theoretical understandings present in the work of philosophers such as Merelau-Ponty, Gadamer, Foucault, and Freire that can be adopted by researchers who aspire to work with children as active researchers.

The Paper is a qualitative report, attempting to collate and consolidate information about various mental health issues that were brought up by students (adolescents) of BRAC University for Counseling and Therapy sessions. Since parents are an important dynamic in a child's life, the paper seeks to list corresponding perspectives and strategies typically adopted by parents in dealing with issues with their children. The paper also records representative examples of parental attitudes and the interventions provided at the level of parents for handling issues faced by their children. The objective of classifying and listing of interventions is to identify, explore and refine methods and techniques towards better management of such issues and provide suitable resolution and amelioration to participants in the counseling situations. The paper also argues for co-opting parents in the counseling sessions for young adults and creating positive references about Counseling among them.

The current study aimed to identify the level of cultural intelligence of a sample of Jordanian university students, and to explore differences in cultural intelligence due to the variations in gender, study specialization, and place of residence. The sample of the study consisted of 366 male and female students selected from Jadara University. To achieve the study objectives, a tool was developed to measure cultural intelligence which consisted of 30 items, and was verified in terms of validity and reliability. The results of the study showed that the level of cultural intelligence was moderate on the total scale scores and its domains. There were no statistically significant differences in cultural intelligence total scale scores due to gender, study specialization, and place of residence. However, there were significant differences in the emotional domain due to gender in favor of females, and in cognitive domain due to students' specialization in favor of scientific specialization.

The culture of a group or organization is known to have an impact on the morale and overall attitude of people who are members of the particular group or organization. It is therefore understood that cultures of different organizations or groups may differ based on the behavior and values propagated by these organizations. Organizational culture has often been construed as an outcome of management philosophy and practices and may impact organizational commitment. The purpose of the current study is to analyze the influence of organizational culture on organizational commitment by studying responses from respondents working in two identified sectors (education and financial services) as both these sectors have seen an increase in growth and privatization, both evolving into profitable business models in the recent two decades or so, and therefore have been considered appropriate for this study. The results indicate that the two sectors differs significantly on the culture and commitment dimensions (p<.01). The study also explored the linkages among culture and commitment dimensions so as to explore the prediction and regression fit where organizational culture has come up as a definite predictor of organizational commitment (P<.04, p<.000). The results of the study have been used, to draw up a list of recommendations, to identify and highlight dimensions of organizational culture, which may enhance and encourage greater organizational commitment specific to nature of the industry.

The space and furnishings in an early learning centre should stimulate all aspects of children's development in a variety of ways, The way in which the environment is set up will influence how children respond to their environment and the kinds of activites they will engage in, and will thus influence their development. Space and Furnishings are one of the most vital consideration as it determines the comfort level of children as well as encourages their productivity and creativity in learning and growing. A meaningful environment has spaces with assigned purposes. In early learning centres space plays many different roles- it is to play, eat and sleep. It is also a place for children to belong and learn. A review of literature indicates that in the past ten years, there has been growing research and study into how the physical design of child care settings affects child development. Pre-school children are expected to sit about 30% of their time during school and teenagers, ages 13-18 years old, are expected to sit about 78% of their time. Sitting occupies a large percentage of waking hours at an age when the human body is still in growth (Dillon, 1976). Thus it becomes important to consider physical design of the early learning center, to ensure cognitive, social, and emotional development (e.g., size, density, privacy, well-defined activity settings, modified open-plan space, a variety of technical design features)In addition to meeting the needs of children, caregivers/teachers require space to implement programs and facilitate interactions with children. Although each child's development is unique to that child, age groups are often used to categorize developmental needs. To meet these needs, the use of activity space for each age group will be inherently different. In the present study 8 domains of space and Furnishings namely Indoor space, Furniture for routine care, play and learning, Furniture for relaxation and comfort, Room arrangement for play, Child-related Display, space for gross motor play, Gross motor equipment and space for privacy, were investigated in 10 different types of early leaning centers in Bangalore city.
