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.

Though there are few tools used for psychological contract, we don't come across with any in Indian context. Therefore a sincere attempt has been made by the researcher to fulfill that objective. Based upon the dimensions outlined through the interview with university employees, items were generated from literature. The split half reliability coefficient of the questionnaire was found out to be .72. Exploratory factor analysis of 34-item pool yielded a 24-item measure with three distinct factors namely congruence in role, congruence in power and congruence in culture. Pages: 418-422

The sample was comprised of N=200 eleventh grade students (100 boys and 100 girls) from Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India. Student responded three scales, the Almost Perfect Scale-Revised (APS-R), General Self-Efficacy ScaleHindi Version (GSES-H), and PGI Health Questionnaire, for measuring perfectionism, self-efficacy, and psychological distress respectively. Data were analyzed by using t-test, correlation and regression analysis. Result of t-test found that significant difference exist only psychological distress, female adolescents showed more psychological distress as compare to their male counterparts. In correlation, discrepancy of perfectionism was significant positive relationship with psychological distress while negative relationship found between self-efficacy and psychological distress among adolescents. Furthermore, self-efficacy was significant positive relationship with standard and order of perfectionism, while it was negative relationship with discrepancy of perfectionism. Regression analysis found discrepancy of perfectionism and low self-efficacy were significant predictors of psychological distress among adolescents. Pages: 412-417

Pages: 396-401 Rituparna Basak and Anjali Ghosh (Psychology Research Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata) In the present scenario with the rapid pace of changes in the society teachers are the yardstick who help schools to adjust with these changes. They are dynamic force of the school. On them rests the most crucial role that is failure or the success of the system. Fulfilment of these crucial roles depends on how perfectly and satisfactorily they do their jobs. This satisfaction is influenced by the stages where the teachers belong i.e. career stages and along with this teachers' belief about their ability to perform a specific task i.e. their self-efficacy. The purpose of this study is to explore relationship of job satisfaction with career stages and self-efficacy in different groups of school teachers selected from different school of Kolkata, India. Another objective is to see whether there any demographic variable play any major role on the job satisfaction of the teachers or not. 160 data were obtained from the school teachers of Kolkata. Career Stage Scale developed by McCormick, & Barnett, (2008) and Paula Lester's Teacher job satisfaction questionnaire (1987) were used in the study. Results showed that job satisfaction is significantly and positively correlated with different career stages and self-efficacy. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that job satisfaction can be significantly predicted by self-efficacy and most of the career stages. This study indicated an impact of different career stages on job satisfaction of school teachers and showed teachers in stocktaking stage are highly satisfied with their jobs. This study also highlighted importance of self-efficacy on job satisfaction. Teachers who have high self-efficacy beliefs are highly satisfied with their job. It helps to understand the importance of different demographic factors and the background reasons on job satisfaction of teachers. Pages: 396-401

Pages: 391-392 Garima Yadav (Department of Psychology, Dronacharya Govt. College, Gurgaon, Haryana) Individuals put the blame of their life events either on themselves or on others. Mostly for everything positive, one would like to take the credit and for all the wrongdoings elements like fate, luck, others' intentions are put into the picture. In few cases both are posed as the factors of an events' occurrence. Different situations and environments like family, work, play shows different ways an individual deals with these events. It is also a direct contributor of professional choice and the overall personality. Pages: 391-392

Pages: 386-390 Vikas Chaudhary (Department of Law, C.R. Law College, Hisar, Haryana) In the concept of surrogacy the maternity issues seems to be at stake. Surrogate motherhood is defined as, when one woman carried the fertilized egg of another woman. Another type of surrogate motherhood is when a woman contract to carry a child for a couple and then is artificially inseminated with the sperm of husband of the commissioning couple. The surrogate mother uses her own egg in this situation the wife may be capable of producing eggs but has no womb or some other physical impediment which prevent her from carrying child. The surrogacy is used by married couples who are unable to have children due to wife's inability either to conceive or to carry foetus to term. The legitimacy of the child born out of surrogate parenthood is the issue which Indian legislation fails to answer. There is a corridor of uncertainty and haze of confusion regarding the concept of Artificial Insemination Donor (AID). So immediate legislation is the need of the hour. Pages: 386-390

Pages: 381-385 Sunita Singh, Vinod Kumari and Subhash Chander (Department of Sociology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana) Gender equality and empowerment of women is recognized globally as a key element to achieve progress in all spheres of life. Democratic decentralization is best bet for good governance. The study was conducted in two districts of Haryana state having highest and lowest female literacy status i.e. Panchkula and Mewat, respectively. Majority of respondents were of middle age, illiterate and primary school educated. Majority of them had entered in PRI for the first time and overwhelming majority had attended training at village and block level. About 80% of them were interested to know more about PRI, their roles and responsibilities and preferred village as venue of training. Majority of respondents were having no knowledge about most of structural aspects of panchayat. Literacy advanced area had clear and positive effect on knowledge level of elected women representatives about structural and functional activities. Younger age respondents were having high knowledge level about most of panchayat activities, structural aspects and decision making. It is suggested that efforts are required for real empowerment of rural women by bringing about an attitudinal change in both men and women. Pages: 381-385

Pages: 374-378 Monika Choudhry (Tika Ram College of Education, Sonepat, Haryana) The admission Process to nursery classes has been the subject of much controversy in recent years. Private unaided schools, in particular, have come under critical scrutiny for their admission procedures. This issue has been agitating the minds of educationist, parents, jurist and all those concerned with the education of young children as to how the trauma and tension associated with the admission process can be eliminated and a child friendly method evolved. The admission procedures for these very young children between the ages of 3.5 and 5 years after consist of written/oral selection test for children, interview of children, and interview of/interaction with parents. Criteria such as siblings, neighbourhood concept, alumni, profession and educational qualifications of parents are also included by some schools in their admission criteria for short listing of candidates. As there is no common admission procedure for all the private schools of Delhi, each school has been using its own discretion in formulating a procedure and implementing it for selecting children for admission to nursery classes. In doing so, there have often been complaints that procedures used are not transparent and equitable and as a result, many parents felt unfairly treated. Since so much of the future of their children was at stake, these feelings have a legitimacy of their own. Pages: 374-378

Pages: 371-373 Mohammad Ashraf Malik (Department of Psychology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, UP) The present paper reviews the available evidence on the problems with quality of education among Muslims in India. In this paper an attempt is made to highlight the problems of quality education among Muslims of India. Education plays an important role in making any community developed and advanced. In the modern society education is used as a lever for equalizing economic and other opportunities for people and the quality education nurtures human talent and creativity. Muslims in India are considered educationally backwards as is reported by the Sachar committee (2006) that Muslims are not educationally backward but they are lagging behind, even schedule casts and schedule tribes. So for the upliftment of Muslims especially in the education sector there is need to ascertain the causes and concerns of their educational backwardness and to know the factors that are responsible for the low quality education among Muslims. At last, the author presents some suggestion for the future course action. Pages: 371-373
