O., Kalamassery, Kochi, Kerala2) Team performance plays a prominent role in the current scenario for both educational and corporate institutions. One of the threats to team efficiency is social loafing. This study looks into the antecedents and consequences of social loafing within a group task context. The study aimed to understand how such antecedents can impact group work efficiency. It can help the instructors to identify the social loafing problem and can motivate the group to learn effectively. Two hundred ninety-five PG and UG students were surveyed from a well-known Engineering college in South India. A 22-item instrument to measure the various components of social loafing (loafer's apathy, disconnect, disruptive behaviour and poor quality work) and its consequences (poor team performance, extra work done by other team members) was used for the study. The data collected was then analyzed and hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling analysis. It was found that loafer's apathy and loafer's disconnect with other team members contributed significantly to the team's poor performance. The extra effort put in by the other team members had a strong mediating effect on the relationship between loafer's poor quality work and the team's performance. Page: 183-187

Godara (Department of Foods and Nutrition, I.C College of Home Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana) For the developing world, it has been particularly difficult to provide poor and undernourished populations with wholesome, nutritional food. One of the most critical issues that tropical developing countries are currently dealing with is protein energy malnutrition. To combat the current food shortage and resulting lack of nutrition security, it is urgently necessary to investigate the underutilized grains. One of these underutilized legume is sesbania bispinosa. Aim of present study was to determine the physical characteristics of sesbania grains and formulated the traditional food product (parantha) and to evaluate for organoleptic acceptability. Results revealed that Sesbania grain's seed density was measured to be 1.06 g/ml. The hydration capacity and index were 0.01 g/seed and 0.68, respectively, but the swelling capacity and index were 0.10 ml/seed and 0.02, respectively. The cooking time for sesbania grains was 46 minutes. Further parantha, formulated with addition of 10 to 50 per cent sesbania flour was organoleptically analyzed. Mean score revealed that up to 20 per cent of sesbania bispinosa grain flour can be added to wheat flour without negatively altering parantha's sensory acceptance. Such value-added products may improve nutritional status. Page: 188-190

Page: 202-207 Seema, Manju, and Manjeet (Department of Applied Psychology, Guru Jambheshwar University of science and Technology, Haryana) The objective of the research was to identify the psycho-social factors that predict adolescent delinquency. Juvenile delinquency has developed into a complex problem in India and the rest of the world in the current industrialised and urbanised culture. An individual under the age of 18 would be regarded as a juvenile delinquent if they committed a crime, according to legal view. High levels of aggression and peer pressure are linked to adolescent delinquency. On the basis of the review of literature, significant variables were identified and research objectives were formulated. To achieve the desired objective of the study, a sample of 150 Juvenile Delinquents with age range from 14 to 18 years was included in the study. All participants were administered Peer Pressure Scale (Singh & Saini, 2010) and Aggression Questionnaire (Buss & Warren, 2000) by applying the rules of the respective manual. Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Stepwise Regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. The results indicated that there is a positive and significant correlation between peer pressure and physical aggression, verbal aggression and anger (dimensions of aggression) and delinquency. Stepwise Regression analysis identified four major predictors of juvenile delinquency. These are peer pressure, verbal aggression, physical aggression, and anger. Page: 202-207

Page: 208-212 Khushie Sharma (School of Business and Management, Christ University, New Delhi) The present research paper seeks to understand the importance of mobile wallets and the correlation between the variables, that is, perceived trust and their usage in the sample of the present study. Rigorous literature of review finds a gap in this area of research and especially after the pandemic, the use of mobile wallets have become a crucial part of the urban as well as rural economy. The hypothesis is that the perceived usefulness of mobile wallets has a beneficial impact on street vendors vis a vis the perceived risk of using mobile wallets which may have a negative impact on street vendors. Findings support previous research by demonstrating a positive relationship between customers' intentions and the dependent variables (Ease of Use, Risk, Trust, & Experience). Street vending is an essential part of the urban economy, providing critical goods and services to both the middle class and the urban poor. Future research and implications are also highlighted in the paper. Page: 208-212

Page: 213-216 Sakshi Gupta and Sachin Sharma (Department of Management, CT University, Ludhiana, Punjab) The behavior of the investor's is influenced by many factors in making investment decisions. The present paper intends to study various demographic variables like (age, gender, education, income level & marital status) which influences the decision making power of the investors through a review of available literature. Behavior finance is based on emotions and cognitive psychology rather than being rational and calculative. Behavior finance is a field of study that helps us to understand how various demographic variables can impact investment decision making. Investment is a very important part of wealth creation and behavior plays a very important role in creating wealth and making investment decisions. Investment is the skill of allocating resources with the expectation of generating an income or profit in the future. Investment decision making means how funds are to be invested in different assets so that it will give maximum possible return to the investors in the coming future. Demographic variables play a very important role in making investment decisions. They also influence the risk tolerance and investment preferences of the investors. So, it is very important to understand the impact of demographics on the decision making power of investors. The present paper reviewed various studies to create an understanding of the impact of demographic variables on investment decision making. The paper concluded that some demographic variables have an impact on investment decision making while others have no impact on investment decision making. Page: 213-216

Ethical consumerism is carried out by "positive buying," which favours ethical products, or by "negative buying," which involves boycotting goods that adversely impact the health of consumers or others, harm the environment during production, use, or disposal, use excessive energy, produce unnecessary waste, use materials that inflict unnecessary suffering on animals. The major areas of concern, types and history of ethical consumerism have been discussed in this paper. The key behavioural patterns, factors influencing and decision model of ethical consumers have been taken into consideration. In the last section, motivators, trends and challenges of ethical consumerism are discussed. Page: 217-220

Psychological assessment is the most powerful tool in an inclusive classroom setting. It is one of the advantageous practices that support children to achieve success in and after completing school. Different challenges faced by parents, teachers, and school administrations can easily be detected through this. Psychological assessment is not only helpful to benefit kids with previously diagnosed conditions but also plays a big role to place children in classrooms by motivating them to grow both intellectually and personally. Based on above-mentioned quote representatives of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) under the Aegis of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India and the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), New Delhi are working tirelessly on the effectiveness of its schools in relation to psychological assessment. Under an inclusive classroom setting Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has provided the best possible ways for screening, diagnosis, intervention, evaluation, selection, and certification that provide support for parents and school administration with the help of teachers, counselors, and special educators. The present research paper is based on the best practices of a CBSE school which highlights the smooth functioning of student screening, identification, accommodation, and real-life experiences. The multidimensional psychological characteristics are through psychological domains Intelligence, Aptitude, Interest, Personality, and Values in relation to psychological tests, interviews, case studies, and observation. It depicts the natural working and achievements of the school in the wide areas of classroom problems held due to environment, behavior, and other psychological issues faced by each and every type of learner including children with special needs. The practical situations and case studies included in this research paper will definitely be a great help for newly developed schools under the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).

FDI has several advantages over other types of capital flows, in particular its greater stability and the fact that it would not create obligations for the host country. The ongoing process of integration of the world economy has led to a significant change in the attitudes of the host countries with respect to inward foreign direct investment (FDI). The determinants of the FDI are numerous. Whether particular action of investor or government is responsible for increase or decrease in the investment for a given period is treated as determinant. There is not a single variable which would influence investment to rise or fall but it is comprised of a set of variables. It would be very valuable to review the key determinants and factors of FDI based on the theories of international investment. Through this paper an attempt is made to study the determinants which influence the FDI inflow into India and other nations. The study period ranging between 1991and 2018. Page: 273-275
