The present study investigated the relationship between paranoia and job satisfaction. Paranoia is defined as suspiciousness and the feeling of being threatened even if there is no proof of real threat. Paranoia is a concept that is often ignored in researches in Pakistan and rarely explored in context of any concept related to occupational life. After a detailed literature review, it was hypothesized that paranoia would be negatively correlated to job satisfaction. The sample of the present research consisted of 154 professionals (77 male, 77 female) from different work settings. Paranoia was measured with the Feingstein Paranoia Scale Urdu version (FPSU) and job satisfaction was measured by the Generic Job Satisfaction Scale (GJSS). Statistical analysis though Pearson Product Moment Correlation indicates that there is a strong negative correlation between paranoia and job satisfaction. Recommendations for employers and policy makers, avenues of future researches are discussed.
The present study analyzed the predictive association of family structure and emotional intelligence, family structure wise difference and gender difference in emotional intelligence of adolescents. After literature review following hypotheses were formulated: (1) Family structure will predict the emotional intelligence of the participants; (2) There will be a significant difference in the emotional intelligence of the participants from joint and nuclear families; (3) There would be gender difference in emotional intelligence. A sample comprising 400 adolescents, (200 belonging to joint and 200 to nuclear families) with mean age 14.49 (SD=+1.29) was drawn from various schools of Karachi, Pakistan. Consent form, demographic form, and Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire for Adolescents (TEIQue-ASF) (Petrides et al, 2006) were administered. Descriptive statistics, regression analysis, and t-test were calculated. Results indicate that family structure does not predict emotional intelligence while the mean scores difference of emotional intelligence of participants belonging to nuclear or joint families was insignificant. However, the research found gender differences in emotional intelligence.
This research aimed to explore the association between mother’s warmth and psychological well-being. For this study it was assumed that perceived mother’s warmth would be positively correlated with psychological well-being and its six sub-constructs (i.e. positive relations with others, environmental mastery, purpose in life, personal growth, autonomy and self-acceptance). A random sample of 200 students (100 male, 100 female), of ages 20-25 year, belonging to educational institutions participated in this study. With participants’ consent demographic information was recorded and following questionnaires were filled; (1) Perceived Maternal Warmth Sub-scale of Adult PAQR/CONTROL: Mother (short form) (Rohner, 2004), (2) Psychological Well-being Scales (Ryff, 1995). Results reveal that only two hypotheses were proved. Perceived mother’s warmth is positively correlated to environmental mastery and positive relationship with others. Results indicate that perceived mother’s warmth is not a predictor of autonomy, purpose in life, self-acceptance, personal growth and overall psychological well-being. Keywords: mother's warmth; psychological well-being; mother-child relationship.
