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: 65-74 Archana Shukla (Director AIBAS and Dean-Faculty of Arts Amity University, Manesar, Haryana) Pooja Tripathi (Pursuing MPH-Biostatistics, Temple University, Philadelphia, USA) 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.

Pages: 60-64 Sugandh Dixit (Department of Psychology, Duquesne University, USA) 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.

Pages: 54-59 Sumaiya Anwar and Safina Binte Enayet (Psychosocial Counselor and Lecturer, BRAC University, Dhaka, Bangladesh) 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 sample consisted of 100 parents of first year students of BRAC University. Qualitative research methodology was used for collecting data. . The result showed that, the parents agreed that psychosocial counseling service contributed to student's success and their mental health wellbeing. Pages: 54-59

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.

Pages: 40-47 Shuchi Parashar Carville (Ansal University, School of Management Studies, Gurgaon) Kiran Sakkar Sudha (IILM Institute of Business and Management, Gurgaon) 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.

Pages: 33-39 Mythri D. and Rajalakshmi M. S. (Department of Human Development- Research Center Smt. VHD Central Institute of Home Science, Bangalore) Suresh K.P. (Statistician, Senior Scientist, NIVEDI,Yelahanka, Bangalore) 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.

Pages: 19-24 Manpreet Ola and Roopa Mathur (Department of Psychology, The IIS University, Jaipur, Rajasthan) The aim of the present study was to investigate the convergent and divergent impact of work environment, work-family conflict, and stress coping mechanisms of female and male police officers. The major aims of the study were to compare male and female police officers on levels of psychological and physical stress, impact of work environment, work family conflict and stress coping mechanisms, to study the relationship between work environment and levels of psychological and physical stress, to study the relationship between work family conflict and levels of psychological and physical stress and to study the relationship between stress coping mechanisms and levels of psychological and physical stress. It was hypothesized that there will be no significant difference between male and female police officers on stress, stress coping mechanisms, impact of work environment and work-family conflict. It was further posited that all the measures of independent variable would not be significantly correlated to the measures of dependent variable. The sample of the study consisted of thirty five male and thirty five female officers who were selected on the basis of certain criteria of inclusion and exclusion. The design of the study was a two group design where the independent variables were work environment, work-family conflict and stress coping mechanism and the dependent variable was stress.

Pages: 11-18 Anchal Garg and Ritu Sharma (Amity Institute of Psychology and Allied Sciences, Amity University, Noida, Uttar Pradesh) College students encounter numerous challenges in their life such as economic difficulties, academic engagements and inappropriate time management skills which may contribute to stress and impair their academic functioning. There are myriad of factors which are involved in the academic performance. The present study aimed to assess the effect of intelligence, positive affect and negative affect on the academic performance of undergraduate students. A total of 108 undergraduate students participated in this study consisting of 55 males and 53 females and their level of intelligence, positive affect and negative affect was assessed by using Raven s' Standard Progressive Matrices and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule respectively. There academic performance was assessed by obtaining their Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). Positive affect was found to be a significant predictor of the academic performance. There was a significant gender-difference in positive affect and academic performance of undergraduate students. Moreover, there was a positive relationship between intelligence and academic performance, positive affect and academic performance. Thus, positive affect is a significant predictor of academic performance. Pages: 11-18
