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: 1-7 Tilottama Mukherjee, Phooljani Ghosh and Kasturi Sengupta (Department of Psychology, Calcutta University, Kolkata, West Bangal) Over the past few years, increasing numbers of Indian mothers whose children are still young have started working outside their homes. To explore the impact of this maternal employment, a sample of 120 adolescents, 60 with working mothers and 60 with mothers who were fulltime homemakers, 30 males and 30 females in each sub sample was chosen. Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, Bell Adjustment Inventory (student form), and Parental Attachment Questionnaire were administered to study their personality, adjustment pattern and attachment to their parents respectively. Mean, SD and F test were computed. The results revealed that there is a significant effect of the job status of mother on the subject's adjustment in the area of health and hostility-friendliness and a combined effect of both the variables (job status of mother and gender of adolescent) on personality dimension of extraversion-introversion and neuroticism-stability, their adjustment in the area of submissiveness-self assertion and their attachment to their parent.

Chaturvedi (Department of Management, KIET, Ghaziabad, UP) Pramod Pathak (Department of Management, Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad) Work stress is defined as the harmful physical and emotional responses that occur when job requirements do not match the worker's capabilities, resources, and needs (National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health 1999). Perception of stress depends upon individual's emotional and developmental cognitive process. If it is seen as challenges than it (perceived stress) gives positive outcome and if it is seen as threatening then it leads to negative behavioural outcomes i.e. depression, substance abuse, etc. Especially more attention given to the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). In modern world, BPO task is increasing in Business based on their client. So employers in this organization are increased. In this situation employee must boost up their energy and role in this organization, and they confused to do in their role. It leads to stress, strain, and nervousness to the employee. This study identifies the level of stress and their psychological consequences present among BPO professionals. This study will be conducted in EXL Services (A BPO Service Sector), Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. A total of 200 bpo professionals from EXL services will participate in this study. Data will be collected through a self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire will be randomly distributed to the professionals during their work time. Obtained score will be statistically analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Along with this study some useful stress reducing measures will be discussed. Pages: 369-372

It tries to gratify needs of each and every section of our society. Readers can be divided into various sections on the basis of gender, class, economic condition, geographical locations etc. Each and every section of potential readers is of utmost importance for a newspaper. One of the important sections of readers is rural reader, as they are the most fastly emerging section of newspaper readers. In a reverse trend to the rest of the world, newspaper readership is increasing in India and that is because of the wedlock between increasing demand for newspaper in rural areas and market forces' interest in rural areas. So here it is prudent to find out that how much a newspaper is putting its' efforts for rural readers. So Haribhoomi which is widely circulated newspaper in Haryana, chosen for its' content analysis.

Pages: 345-349 N. R. Jain and A.V.S. Madnawat (Department of Psychology, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, Rajasthan) The present study aspired to investigate whether Peer Attribution, Depression, Self-esteem, Body Dissatisfaction and Body Mass Index are significant predictors of Bulimia Nervosa in Female College and University Students. It was hypothesized that Peer Attribution, Depression, Self-esteem, Body Dissatisfaction and Body Mass Index will be significant predictors of Bulimia Nervosa in Female College and University Students. A purposive sample of 300 Female College and University Students (age range 18-25 years) from various Colleges and Universities located in Jaipur and Ajmer city was selected. The Predictor Variables were measured by Peer Attribution Scale (Lieberman, 2001), Beck Depression Inventory Second Edition (BDI-II; Beck, Steer & Brown, 1996), Rosenberg Self-esteem Inventory (Rosenberg, 1995) and Body Mass Index whereas the Criterion/Outcome variable was measured by Eating Disorder Inventory - 3 (EDI-3) (Garner, David M., 2004). The Correlational Research Design along with Regression Model was employed. The Multiple Regression Analysis was computed to investigate whether Peer Attribution, Depression, Self-esteem, Body Dissatisfaction and Body Mass Index are significant predictors of Bulimia Nervosa in Female College and University Students. It was empirically proved that Peer Attribution, Depression and Body Dissatisfaction are significant positive predictors whereas Self-esteem and Body Mass Index are significant negative predictors of Bulimia Nervosa in Female College and University Students. The results are interpreted in the light of existing researches. Pages: 345-349

But the women movements struggling for the rights of women has its origin recently. The law of the land “constitution” provides for equality but the real equality is yet to be achieved between man and woman. The rate of happenings of crime against women is on a hike. There is a great gap between the formulation of laws and their active implemention. India has faced various social reform movements for women. True equality and dignity were still a for reaching idea. The laws available in India need to be discussed thoroughly in order to combat sexual harassment of women at workplaces. Pages: 338-344
